Cross Training: Aqua-jogging
Aqua-jogging is exactly what it sounds like: jogging in the water. Aqua-jogging is great for cross training because there is little impact and it provides resistance against your legs. A lot of runners use aqua-jogging as cross-training when injured…
Cross Training: Elliptical
Ellipticals are a great way to cross train. You can purchase one at a sporting goods store such as Academy, but almost every gym has one, with most gyms having a row of them…
Cross Training: Biking
Biking is a great way to cross train for runners who are injured or who are just looking to mix it up. Biking is a great way for a runner to get in additional training without experiencing the impact of pounding the pavement. If you are injured…
WOW
Are you familiar with the expression WOW?! I’m sure this probably comes off as a very simple minded question and no I’m not referring to the popular PC game World of Warcraft. I’m speaking of a ‘WOW’ that would cause someone to experience a state of euphoria, embarrassment, or even provoke blurting out the word [...]
Love Thy Treadmill
The weather in Baton Rougem LA was awful today as I predicted yesterday. I’d planned to run with my bro JDub, but that would have to be postponed until the weather gets better. Instead of running in a rainy 56 degrees, I got on the treadmill at my local neighborhood gym and completed 2 miles. [...]
Awww Yeah, 6 miles Yeah!
Can you say legend…wait for it…DARY? After an amazing run today on the levee in Baton Rouge, LA, it’s a little difficult to hid my excitement. When I am working towards a goal, currently completing the Forge Trail Series, upward progress fuels my motivation to achieve what I have set out to do. Completing a [...]

Super Cold Friday
After sitting out a day because of a little soreness in my legs, I decided to go for a run this past Friday evening. In retrospect, I’m not quite sure I was thinking straight…I NEVER exercise on a Friday. Moving along, I started to feel guilty about missing Thursday and didn’t want to tack on [...]

After completing my first session, I would recommend it to every runner! Today is what I consider my off day [...]
Baton Rouge High
I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! He’s definitely one of the influential people in American History. His dream changed the nation forever and it’s even more apparent now. Today, I found it very tough to get moving. I was feeling a little sluggish and still sore from running in [...]
The Bike Ride
Over the summer, I purchased a single speed road bike. This particular purchase was inspired by my buddy Yoni. He’s a really dedicated cycler with aspirations to go pro some day. I have no desire to do that, but I do enjoy riding every once in a while. The race Saturday pretty much wore me [...]
