Leg’s still bugging me, but I’ve been keeping up with my 2010 Resolution to do strength training 3x a week for 20 minutes a day – and let me tell ya, it’s been working! I definitely feel stronger than I did in 2009, and I am starting to see the difference as well. T-Rex runner arms be-gone!
A big part of my strength program is the OneHundredPushups program, founded by my fellow Daily Miler Steve Speirs. Check it out at http://hundredpushups.com/ ! I’m on Week 4 of the program. I can’t …

Hi everyone!
A while back I started a Comments4Cans drive, where for every 5 comments on my site I would donate a can to the Charlottesville Emergency Food Bank. And you guys came through and posted  34 comments! That’s 7 cans of food to feed the hungry in Albemarle County.

(Excuse my toes there at the bottom.)
I chose black beans because they’re full of protein and are easy to prepare. Also they are delicious.
Again, thanks everybody for your help!

I know I already have a bunch of 2010 goals, but to me a resolution is different – unlike a goal(ie PRing in the 10k), a resolution is something constant that you have to work at each and every day, consistently, throughout the year.

The 100 pushups program is going to be a part of my strength training for sure. 100 pushups, here I come!

I’m hoping that 2010 can start off right with a good recovery from my injury.
Due to the unexpected setback, I’ll have to revise my 2010 goals. After 3 weeks of no running, …
