Ironman Louisville 2017 Race Report
As I thought about what I was going to say in this race report, I knew that I wanted to approach it from a different direction than those that I’ve done in the past. I felt that this race required more from me mentally than any race I’ve done up to this point. This may […]

The average time each week that I spent out pounding the pavement was only 2.3 hours. I also only had one “long” run, which was 18 miles. This Runner’s World article recommends 100-140 miles […]
Genetic Testing
Two years ago I did a genetic test through 23andMe. The test consisted of simply spitting in a few tubes and mailing it off. A few weeks later, I was emailed a link to a full report. I did a post on the ancestry-related genetic reports (what countries/regions my ancestors most likely came from) back […]
