Ordinary Marathoner

Gearing up for my long run and bike this weekend. Trying to make the best choices to make sure I succeed at this #RedemptionRace.

Feeling good today after getting a clear picture of the things I need to do moving forward and the plan on how to get there most efficiently. Failed the No Cookie Challenge unfortunately, but Stefany and I have a better diet strategy moving forward and we hope it sticks and becomes successful.

A quick daily podcast today. Got a good 5-miles in yesterday and looking forward to adding some more runs into my training mix.

Sorry I missed yesterday’s podcast… it’s been a busy few days. We’ll bring you up to date on my weekend training and my final words on Game Of Thrones (which after the fact, I realize I still have more complaints… but I think I’m just done at this point.)

It’s a fabulous story of his first two books and how they led to his third book: BigFoot 2000: Because, You Know, Why the #@&% Not. Happy to have … Continue reading "Podcast #216 – Ryan Chukuske"

I might also bring up the laughingstock Jets franchise and a new form of political debate involving … Continue reading "Podcast #218 – Ordinary Daily, May 16, 2019"

A quick one today… I’m a bit scattered and weather-dependent on my training the next few days, but I’ll get it done. We’re off to see Samantha Watson, founder and CEO of The SamFund! So excited!

How good of a cyclist could I be if I just lost the weight? I’m starting to think I could be pretty good… New Rule: No More Cookies!

A good-and-bad long run this weekend with some lessons learned, which is always a good thing. Then I rant about the destruction of Game of Thrones, and how Season 8 of GoT is the Rocky V of the franchise. I recognize that it’s difficult to write satisfying endings to these types of shows, but they … Continue reading "Podcast #214 – Ordinary Daily, May 13, 2019"
