Weight Loss Myths from Runner’s World Magazine 1 of 14

The Road to the Ironman – Things are starting to click
Looking at the number below they are growing and in some cases they are getting a little scary. Take the swimming totals, I am only .1 mile away from swimming a marathon (dramatic pause). Now if anyone actually cared how many lengths or laps in a pool would take to swim 26.2 miles, the length [...]
Rice that is 1,532 calories? Oh yea it is fried so that means it is bad… or does it?

The Road to the Ironman – The score Jim 1 and the brain 1
Back on September 10, 2009, while I was waiting in line to sign up for the Ironman Wisconsin if I knew how much the mental side of this journey was going to be, I would have second guessed my decision. When I tell someone that I am training for an Ironman the response is almost [...]
