Full Story »A Racewalking Moment
I love when this happens….. I was doing my usual jaunt over the Al Zampa bridge( this is usually where I practice my racewalking skills) when, for a brief time, things just started to click.

Full Story »28 miles this week
Had a relatively normal walking week with the exception of today’s walk. I was getting way too tight early on in my walk. I hate that feeling ! One of these days I will attempt to describe that “feeling ” So anyways, I had to use the inhaler 4 times throughout the 6 miles. Over [...]

Full Story »Defining my own style of walking
I think about this everyday when I’m walking… I’m not really sure what you would call my walking style? Its a mixture of my own freestyle incorporated with the basics elements of racewalking. I use all of the racewalking techniques such as proper foot placement and strike, hip motion and leg transitioning, but I dont [...]

Yesterday, I took my first walk since the race on Sunday. A total of 1.5 miles to and from the local grocery store . It was awful! Wasn’t so much the aches and pains as it was my lungs and my overall energy level. By the time I reached the half way point, I was [...]

Full Story »The US Half……. As seen through my eyes
I should start off by saying, that despite the anticlimactic ending to the race ( due to the theft of the medals),and the lack of porta-pottys, this event was the best one Ive walked in so far. You couldn’t ask for better weather ( 60 degrees at start time) and you could actually hear the [...]
