Personal:

I'm a happily married guy with a 5 year old son. I started running on February 1st, 2010 with the goal of completing a triathlon (my one and only "official" race prior to that was the "Centerville half mile fun run" when I was about 8) In that following year I lost nearly 50 lbs, completed the triathlon, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, bike races, and really started to lean towards running over the other two (though I still cross train with both).

I grew up hiking and riding horses in the mountains, so I've been drawn to take my running to the trails - and haven't looked back! I run them every chance I get, which is about 90% of the time!

Staircase Thursday:

- Tabata air squats (8 reps of 20 sec on, 10 sec rest)

-10 min of stairs

I made it to the top of our 15 stories for my 3rd time when the time ran out. Not a long workout, but on the limited time I have today this is an awesome workout that really does a number on your legs in a short amount of time. You can substitute air squats for just about anything (lunges, push-ups, kettle bell swings etc) to mix it up.

Ha - I know, I know. I have some catching up to do on reporting on my running. Glad to see you're hanging around! :0

I just thought you had quit.

I'm interested in your stair workout. Are you resting between reps or are you pretty much in perpetual motion?

From Dorsimus on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 08:21:08 from 209.23.248.163

Perpetual motion! Seems to get slower as the time goes on...:) running down does seem to be a bit of a break.
