Well, i managed to zero the last day of the year :). Work got crazy, and i still could have got out later but I'll save it for tomorrow. I have been hitting some weights tonight though. Lifting jalapeno poppers, deviled eggs, and some chips, a few sets of each. I figure it's earned. I may even add in some ice cream repeats before calling it a night.

I had a great year. Pr'd every distance and learned a ton. I'm really looking forward to 2013. Not just for myself, but for all of the great people I've got to meet and train with as well. Happy new year all!

Met at Matt's for a great new year kickoff run. Cold and slick thoughout, but still lots of fun. IT was foggy/hazy until the sun got high enough to shine through and then it was very good. Matt planned a great route and like these seem to do, it went by very fast. The group was Jake, Matt, Chad, Dan, Mike, Toni, and me. Dan and Chad checked out early but it was still good to see them. Matt and his awesome wife had a tasty breakfast ready when we got back. Thanks again Matt!! It was just about a perfect kickoff to the year :). A solid 2 1/2 hours. 7:15

Woke up with a sore hip flexor so i hit the stairmaster hard after work. That thing is no joke on max level, legs were on fire by the end. I bought a "the stick" today and rolled the sore area to death afterward. Yowch.

Well... not sure what happened, but I can't run. My right hip flexor is really sore. Feels fine when I walk. I can do the 100 ups without pain (run in place). But when I land and start to push off when running it just says no. I got pretty frustrated this morning. Stretched, rolled, walked, tried to run, stretched some more, got on the elliptical for a mile, tried to run again, got mad lol. 

Then I snapped out of it and put a smile back on my face and got back to work. I did an awesome 45 minute circuit training session and worked most everything really good. Then I got on the stairmaster and hit it pretty hard again before doing a couple mile cooldown on the elliptical. If I have to adjust and take a couple days to get it all better then fine. I will find ways to stay fit and get stronger in the process.
