It has been some time since I have written anything and am in the process of getting back into the swing after the holidays and being super busy with work.  Also, I have in the plans to change my blog from Bluegrass Runner To Bluegrass Endurance and not sure yet how to do it.  Blogger says it can take an existing site and copy it over but for some reason right now it does not want to.  Not sure if I can just change the name and change the web address to point to the existing site – we shall see. The reason for the change is simply that since I have been riding more and runn ..read more

Training Thoughts:     While I often tell people to be careful about milage goals as they can lead you astray and down a path to over training if you are not careful – I have a confession to make.  When I started this year I had a goal of 1500-1700 miles of running, I did 1501 in 2019, and 4000 miles riding, I did 3500 in 2019.  However, as my foot was not getting better I changed course early on – even taking an extended break from running and started riding more.  Once I started riding more I realized how much I liked it and also noticed that my foot was gettin ..read more

Training Thoughts:   My View When I Leave for a Run Still not sure what is ahead with racing plans except for a couple gravel races in KY I am fairly sure will take place in May and July and then there is the Steamboat Springs Gravel race (144 Miles) in August but that is still uncertain.  One thing I know I need to work on is some strengthening exercises and now that my hamstring is feeling better I can start those exercises.  The one place I tend to fall woefully short on is “consistent” strength and mobility work and that needs to be dealt with. Over the next fe ..read more
