Greetings everyone, Today is a tough day for me as I have to inform you that my training for the Chicago Marathon has come to an end. A few weeks back we talked about the difference between being hurt and injured. I thought I was hurt, so I rested. Took some time off. Road the bike for training and basically rested my foot hoping to heal in time to get back on my training schedule. Well, the day came for me to get back out there and run 4 miles for the day. I ran the four miles, limped the last...

Greetings Good People, I am back with another update on my Chicago Marathon Journey. It has been a good week, but I had to make some changes. The title or theme of this video is Flexibility because I had to make some adjustments to my training schedule if I wanted to stay in the game and stay on pace for making the Chicago 2010 Marathon. As you may know, last week I got hurt during my training, foot injury. I pushed through it and kept running thinking I was just hurt. Well, turns out that I...

Before I leave the house, I get a mental picture of me turning around at the half way point...

It’s week 8 of 18 as I train for the 2010 Chicago Marathon. I am still getting it in as you can see from the video. Working hard at working hard is the mantra of the moment and it is feeling good. Noticing a lot of weight loss during this process, but not in the way I would like. I mean that I am starting to get all soft from not working out and lifting weights. Therefore, I have decided to work in some push ups, sit ups and pull ups into my weekly routine. On the days that I runs shorter...

There are not many things that we tolerate in the Taylor household when it comes to our children and life. Excuses are one of those things that are on the top of the list. We cannot stand them and neither should you. In fact, you shouldn’t even make them. When it comes down getting something done, making excuses does nothing for anyone, so let’s be sure not to make them cause they are too easy to do. They are everywhere. What you have to realize is that there will always be an easy...
