How Much Does it Cost?

Starting this week, I’m going to find out “How Much Does it Cost?” to do some of the popular (and not so popular) races around the globe.

This week is a race that just happened, the Boston Marathon.  Known for its “heart break hill”, Boston is one of the oldest marathons in the [...]

It Works…

One of my creations actually worked!  Well I can’t take a lot of the credit, since I didn’t build it.  But I did find a new use for a product!

It worked. While there were no complaints about Monday being a recovery day, I didn’t feel [...]

PTA – The Best Part Of Waking Up…

Nothing starts your day like breakfast.

I always consider the first meal of the day to be breakfast, whether it’s at 6:30 am or 1:15 in the afternoon (students require lots of sleep). On a day by day basis I usually eat cereal with [...]

Montreal Race Pics…

Andy Potts Workout Room

I expected a little more (maybe a big screen TV).  But hey, how many days out of the year do you think the guy trains inside?  Besides swimming of course.
