• Bite size portions

  Posted on March 31, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  What is the old saying “How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.” This training plan is more than a bit overwhelming.  I look at the peak of the training and there is just so much.  It is teaching me a great lesson.  I am just trying to take it one step at a [...]

  Nothing discloses real character like the use of power.  It is easy for the weak to be gentle.  Most people can bear adversity.  But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.  This is the supreme test.  – Robert Ingersoll

• ING Georgia Half Marathon race report Part 2

  Posted on March 24, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  Posted on March 22, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  I will be working on a race report but the event went fantastic.  I don’t feel like I could have asked for anything more on Sunday.  I did not feel 100% prepared and was uncertain of how I would do. I ended up with my second best half marathon time at 1:35:25.  Full of birthday [...]
