I have been a runner since I was 13. (confession: that was 30 years ago) Running for me has been one constant in my life. I've lived in several different countries and travelled through many more.

I have been a runner since I was 13. (confession: that was 30 years ago) Running for me has been one constant in my life. I've lived in several different countries and travelled through many more. And I have always gone for a run. OK, maybe in Indonesia it was always on a treadmill but I was running.

I've run 7-8 marathons, including qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon. Before getting into marathon running I was into triathlons. (swimming, biking, running) After Boston I went back to triathlons. I have now done two Ironman Triathlons, bringing home a trophy in the second one.

And yet, here I am joining this workout club. A couple of things interest me:

- I love the idea of coaching others. One of my mantras is that we could solve a lot of our nation's problems if folks would get fit and healthy. Earlier this year I helped a couple of friends get ready for their first triathlon and loved the kick I got from someone else meeting their fitness goals.

- And.... I need to get stronger. Each winter I promise myself I will spend the "off season" getting stronger. And then I don't. As we get older, we start to lose muscle. After 35-40 it is vital that we work at keeping muscle. Right now I probably couldn't do a single push-up. My core is so weak it keeps me from being comfortable riding long distances.

I feel I have got fat and lazy the last 6 months. Oh I'm still swimming, biking, running but without a focus.

Through this program I intend to get stronger and finally! get rid of my tight hamstrings and calves.

Hope you ride along with me.
