Last two weeks have been okay. We (the scout group I work with) had a practice hike last Wednesday and the uneven terrain really did a number on my ankle. That prevented me from training for a few days. We'll see how Wyoming treats it.

Running: The Honest Truth
"I'm going for a jog" says the typical
healthy person. That is what typically healthy people do, they jog.
Besides cycling, and yoga training for a 5k that supports cancer
research is the only reasonable way to exercise.
Right?..................Wrong!
I have been thinking about
running for some time. As someone who once ran for health, the mental and
physical challenge, and just for the fun of it I now have developed a very
different opinion of how important running is.

Training Update June 30, 2012
I again ended up shifting my workouts around due to my inability to wake-up to an alarm. I am starting to do my workouts in the morning and I don't know that I like it. I also worked out with partners this week. Training with like-minded people is very good for the morale and overall energy of the workout. I liked it.

Training Priorities
Getting strong is an important part of my training. It is part of being human and developing ourselves such that we can operate at a level very close to our genetic potential. Getting strong requires sacrifice. Sometimes we must temporarily sacrifice good things to allow another to flourish (conditioning and visible abs for strength in this case). This doesn't mean you have to become a blob in order to get strong you just have take things one step at a time. Nobody ever learns 7 languages at once. Similarly you can't train for a 400 lb squat and a marathon at the same time. Order is important here.
