Dr. Glenn’s Blog

I’ve been busy. So busy that my blog has gathered dust for about a month. Sorry about that.

 I’m still training for the June 21st Xterra  Race at Buffalo Creek. Weight loss: Without chaning my diet, I’ve dropped about seven pounds. Here’s a summary of my training:

Bike. Going well. I’m a pretty strong mountain biker. I stopped riding the steel beast- my 1993 Trek 930 and picked up a 2007 Gary Fisher Tassajara. It’s a decent hard tail and I’ve been enjoying the hell out of it. I put in about 15 miles yesterday in Cherry Creek State Park. They have some surprisingly decent dirt in that park, which is riding distance from my house.

Run: Running is going well. I put in 4 miles last Wednesday, which is a personal best for me. Running with my wife, a former marathoner, has helped tremendously.

Swim: I suck at swimming. I can put in about 16 laps before I think I’m going to die. I ordered a DVD called Freestyle Made Easy from Amazon, so we’ll see if that helps. I’m swimming 3 times a week at Lifetime Fitness in Parker.

I think I’m alos going to do the Mountain Bike portion of Elephant Rock on June 1st, and the Indian Peaks Xterra in August.

Anyway, that’s my brief update. I’ll try to be a better blogger.
