Racewalk Planet Radio Interview

Check out my radio interview with Chris Rael over at Racewalk Planet Radio

Chris is an awesome racewalker and coach. It was a video of Chris racewalking(The long and winding road) that got me interested in the sport 5 years ago. I finally had the pleasure of meeting him at Dave Mc Governs advanced racewalking clinic in Solana Beach last October.

Posts from the Past

You may or may or may not have noticed, that I haven’t been updating my blog as often as I have in the past. There are several reasons for this, the main one being is that Ive just been preoccupied with training and preparing for this upcoming race. There are however, other times when I simply don’t have anything new to say and don’t feel like re-hashing old stuff. Everything I write about on this blog is 100% original…it comes out my own head. I don’t use other peoples content or ideas. So except for my 24 hour status updates ,which I try try keep current, when times are slow or when I’m too busy doing other things, I just don’t update as often.

So as not to bore people waiting for me to update, I’ve added a new feature to my blog called “Posts from the Past” ( sorry, not very original title). I did this to highlight my older posts, some of which are actually pretty interesting. A lot people who visit my blog don’t realize that I have more than 5 years of archives. I know it can be a hassle digging through category tabs to find what you’re looking for, but I think this new widget can offer some good starting places if you’re so inclined.

Another write-up

Boston still follows me

I didn’t even know that this was out there until an RT blogger friend on Facebook told me. Mike and I are on page 61 of the current issue of the “AARC Times”.

The Times is a publication of the American Assoc for Respiratory Care, a national organization that thousands of Respiratory Therapists belong to. They also put out a science journal called “Respiratory Care” in which I was featured back in 2008.

Today, Friday July 30th, 2010

Broke my own rule and walked when I was in my yellow zone. Walked 8 miles yesterday, and now I'm paying for it with crappy peak flows and increased dyspnea. I just wanted to try my new shoes out. When will I learn. Taking 2 days off from walking.
