The Clymb -- Sugoi Sale
For any of you who aren’t members of The Clymb and love working out — you should be.
They post amazing deals that sell out fast, like today Sugoi has a massive amount of inventory on sale.
While I’m liking biking more than I used to, I hate hate hate being cold on descents. Here are some of my favorite pieces that… I just might have to get:

Nike+ Running Site Overhaul
It’s not news that the Nike+ Running site is short of stellar. It uses Flash, it has a lot of compatibility issues, and it’s slow to boot. But, that’s about to all change apparently.
Nike Running released on their Facebook that coming this summer, the Nike+ Running website will be updated.
No more Flash!
Now HTML5!
There are big updates to goals, leaderboards, and more....

The good news.
We biked 52 miles today and I feel fine. (I was a little moody through Santiago Canyon though..).
The bad news.
The last minute, walking up the stairs to the apartment, I biffed my footing and rammed my face into the drop bar. Which I then proceeded to cry like a 5 year old when we got in the house.
I really hope there are no stairs at Oceanside.
ALSO:
My workout yesterday was 9.5 miles...

Training Music: Study Sessions →
I barely listen to the radio. Out here in Irvine, I get few stations I can stand for longer than 10 minutes. I can only stand so much Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins.
With that, it’s extremely hard to find new music to rock out to for training. So I’ve started looking through the Pandora Workout Stations.
I’ve just started finding new stuff I like, so thankfully there’ll be...

Pet Peeve: The Marathon
And not the League episode of ‘the Marathon.’ I love that episode <3
“Stop wicking.” (They even had a reference to the Boston Marathon!)
Running Jargon Time. Do you know what a marathon is? Oddly enough, not everyone does.
Here’s what pulled as a Marathon:
A long-distance running race, strictly one of 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 km).
A long-lasting...

GUYS, guys, I NEVER thought Half-Ironman training would be THE thing that helped me improve on my running.
I’ve been running since 2009 and always been going at 11s, 12s average for half-marathons.
Tonight, my workout was a brick: 60 Minutes bike, 30 Minutes run.
I ran my ass off (for me at least).
10:07 average for 2.57 miles (26 minutes) for my run. After SIXTY minutes already on the...

Pulled Muscle Almost Healed
So while the cough is now 95% gone, the day I went to the doc I found out I had literally pulled a muscle coughing.
Being the neurotic person I am, I constantly worried and reacted to every little pinch I felt.
Oddly enough, yesterday I felt like it was getting worse. Today I’m feeling like it’s almost over.
I did a 45 min bike ride this morning ont he trainer, so I’m happy...
