Day 3

Good morning everyone!!

well the weather outside is really crappy today, makes it really hard to get motivated to go work out. i choose not to work out this morning but instead to work out this afternoon after my chem class.

today's work out shouldn't be to bad a hour of weight training then to get my adjusted by Josh.

Dr Hayes has a new idea for me to help out with my training!! he wants me to start using Juice Plus pills. which suppose to give you your daily dose of veggies and fruits, this sounded like a good idea to me because i have a really hard time staying on track with eating right ( i am shamed to say that)  hopefully this will be a good thing for me and i will report to you all about how they are working.

Day 2

Day 2

Good  morning everyone! sorry it has been awhile sense i have posted another post, i have been really busy these past few days and a little lazy :( sadly, but every thing is back to normal now.

Today i got up at 530am to go and workout at F.A.S.T ohio my trainers there have to be some of the best there are!! the work outs they have me doing are crazy!!! my body is killing me right now but in a good way. i try to think that with every crazy work out i do i get one day closer to RAAM and the races this year!

speaking of the races for this year, i have officially decided to do the Race Across Oregon in July!! only 6 months away!!! and the count down begins, the other races i plan on doing this year is the RAAM series race in Columbus, Oh and the RAAM series in Daytona, Fl (maybe still debating)  hopefully these races will go well and i can start making a name for myself and spearding the word about Team Hope

The Road to Annapolis: Day 1

Hey all,

this is a new series i will be doing until we arrive in Annapolis, MD at the end of RAAM! these posts will include how things are going with the team and how the training and racing is going so far so i hope you all enjoy!

Day 1 
Today started at 530am with a nice 3 mile run, i have to admit that it was not something i really enjoyed i hate running lol. which is kinda surprising sense i love ultra endurance cycling you'd think running wouldn't be to bad either, but nope i hate it but its something that needs to be done so i suck it up and run. so the run went well it was rather cold this morning but that is normal sense is January.
