Make sure you up the amount of stretching and icing you do and it may help a little bit.
Yeah that’s exactly what I have been doing. I have a bag of mixed frozen pineapple,banana, and strawberries on my knee as...
Quick update on my miles so far. I’ve done 24 miles over the last couple days. After my last run my right knee has tightened up a bit. It doesn’t hurt much but sort of feels like a bruise on the side of my kneecap. If my kneecap was a clock, it would be sore at 2 o’clock. I decided not to run this morning, just to make sure I don’t injury something but my guess is...

Ohhh but you will, especially if you haven’t done a 50+ mi week in awhile. Mwahaha, you’ll probably hate us all by the end of the week, huh?
Yeah I haven’t done a 50 mile week since fall/early winter last...
Local grown organic golden delicious apples for 60 cents a pound? Why yes I’ll take a whole bag.
ariavie replied to your post: 7 Miles, last night, 7 miles this morning. …
You should take a photo of yourself after each of these runs so we can see how you progressively become more fatigued. :)
Fatigued? What’s that? Never heard of it.
7 Miles, last night, 7 miles this morning. Shooting for 10 tonight after work. The weather has been perfect!

Haha, SOB is at like 4-5,000 ft. So I might die too. :)
Then we both can go out like warriors. I’d rather die running than sitting on the couch eating junk food. /highfive
@ariavie replied to your post: Ran 7 miles after work, felt really, really good. …
Duuude, you might want to slow it down a little bit. ;) It looks like you’re in for a pretty heavy mileage week. Please don’t die. hehe.
That’s funny coming from you ariavie warrior princess, you’re...

What’s the total so far!?
I don’t know, I don’t want to know. I’m going to run my ass off and count when I get closer to the end of my week. I’m going for 7 miles before work and...
Ran 7 miles after work, felt really, really good. I’m not sure what my time was but it was well under an hour.
Also, I love all the support I got from the ‘Brave or Dumb?’ post. I love you guys and you are dicks at the same time. <3
Brave or dumb?
For every like/heart I get on this comment I will run 1 mile this week.
TMI Tuesday

Sorry no photos. We were gone camping and by the time we went hiking my phone was almost dead and I was trying to coordinate with my friends to meet us at the trail head so I didn’t want use up my...

Why do you smell like campfire from a hike?
Well I camped too silly.
Hiked my ass off with the wife at the Oregon coast. I still smell like campfire. Now she needs to hurry up and get out of the shower because I feel like I’m covered in dried sweat.

I obviously haven’t done it, but what have you got to lose?
Fat and sweat mostly.
So I might be getting talked into doing the Las Vegas Rock N Roll half marathon. Anyone else doing this race? Past experiences?
Last night I made some chicken/veggies fajita thing with black beans. It made me a little gassy for this morning’s 3 mile run before work. Had a great run and didn’t poop my pants.
High five @jordangetsfast
You had to know you were going to catch shit for this.
Today is going to be a great day I can feel it. I mean, I had fresh watermelon and fresh apples for breakfast, how can this go wrong?

It's a funny thing.....
When I go for a run, I will run my entire distance. No. Matter. What. My legs could be on fire, toes falling asleep, hiccups, chaff, back hurting, whatever. I will not walk, I refuse to walk until my miles are done. I could be bleeding, guts spilling out on the ground and I will still maintain the slowest jog possible with out being a walk until I die.
Oh shit, music player stopped. Hang...

Barcelona FC
I am trying to work out a way to get tickets to a Barcelona FC game in October once the 2012/2013 season tickets go on sale. I will be in Spain at the time and would really love to see a game there.
If I do get tickets I need to think of a good way to rub it in high-heels-soccer-shoes ‘s face. What do you say guys, got any good ideas? Skype call from the game maybe? Giant cardboard...

YAY! What is this relay race?

It’s very similar to the Ragnar races. 200+ miles ran over 24 hours. Teams in vans, sleeping in tents, every racer has at least 3...
Went out to a few breweries with some buddies last night, came back registered for the Oregon Epic Relay running with a team of people I’ve never ran with before, taking place in 32 days. Fuck it. LET’S DO THIS.
7 miles for breakfast
This is my “It’s not supposed to be hot before 9am!!!” face.
Soon this will all be beeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I don’t know how to put this, but I’m kind of a big deal.
I love you guys. If I could give you all hugs I totally would. That is all.
Lasagna
Making gluten-free lasagna tonight. Not it’s not Paleo, but it’s still packed with veggies, healthy and delicious. I’ll take a few pics later.
Ran 6.5 miles last night, first 2 miles my legs didn’t want to go but they came around eventually. They always do.
There is bad ass, and then there is this guy.....
Paul Reese, age 70. Portland marathon official finish time: 3:16:40
Oh yeah TMI Tuesday
Hit me with your TMI questions. Nothing is off limits but if it’s too hardcore I’ll probably privately respond that way people don’t complain about me answering penis questions or something.

I post a picture of my nasty ass broken toe nail and I actually gain a follower? I don’t even understand this tumblr world any more.

Got this baby doing a couple hours of basketball games.

I used to have ‘ten mile Mondays!’
Oh crap that reminds me, I can’t go run tonight. They’re starting summer basketball at my local gym today! Ok, 10+ mile run tomorrow if I don’t get my ass...
I ran 6.5 miles the other day and felt fine. I think I’m going for 10 tonight after work, let’s see how I feel.

Is that “high quality” hahaha kidding kidding. Feed our soul with moderation buddy!
It’s whey protein, and in the world of whey it’s pretty high quality :P
Oh snap, the Cookies and Cream flavor from MusclePharm is pretty damn delicious.
Dear nose,
You are a nose, not a whistle. Knock it off.

What’s the best book you’ve ever read? (Plus, tell me a little about it) Really hard to pick just one but I’ll go with an oldie, Michael Critchton - Andromeda Strain. It’s about a virus from space that finds it’s way to earth and kills people and then mutates into other forms.
What is your favorite song to run (or work out) to? Another impossible choice. I guess I’ll...
Ran a little 5k up steep hills. No big deal.
P.S. Clearly my sprinting and running up steep hills use some of the same muscles because my hammy’s were pissed.
Dymatize Nutrition ISO - 100 Whey Protein - Review
Tried my new Dymatize Nutrition ISO - 100 Whey Protein. Flavor: Pina Colada. Not bad, not amazing. Smells like tanning oil, you know the coconut stuff. Kinda taste like it has milk in it, even though I made it with water. It mixes really well, I just shook it up and didn’t even have to stir it.
Nutrition: 9.5/10
Taste: 7.5/10
Note to self: Long distance running shoes are terrible for running indoor sprints on the basketball court.
Full Moon
This Saturday is supposed to be the brightest full moon of the year according to SCIENCE. Anyone here do night runs? I think it’s fun in the summer as long as you can find a good place without traffic ect.
Question thingy from Doozer
ok I’ll play.
Doozer’s questions: 1. What is your favorite color? Green and orange. I can’t pick just one. 2. Do you have a nickname, and if so, what is it and how did you acquire it? Uh yeah, Lojo. I guess I kinda made it up from my name Loren Johnson for online purposes and it stuck. I have several friends that still just call me Lojo. 3. What is your favorite fitness...
