I did mention that I would be blogging a bit more frequently and I meant it. This past weekend I competed at George Mason’s Last Chance competition in an attempt to get a quality training session in. Considering the fact that my training group no longer makes use of George Mason’s indoor facility, the few [...]

It’s been a long time, and I shouldn’t have left you… My sincere apologies on taking this long to update my blog. I have been a bit more active on my Facebook fan page and on Twitter but I know that some people prefer to read over more detailed updates/blog posts and that’s my reason for having [...]

Things are starting to come together a bit more following last week’s technique change. Little by little though. I set an indoor personal best yesterday and felt relatively comfortable doing it. Still, by now you know that indoors doesn’t excite me too much except that I appreciate being able to “train” in a competition atmosphere [...]

Even though one of my goals in 2011 is to jump 17  meters indoors, my distances indoors are rarely of concern to me. Typically meets during the indoor season are all about working on things at full speed and making sure that training is going well. With that in mind I have to say that [...]

Happy New Year y’all! I’m not big on New Years resolutions and I’m not trying to “change” so much as I’m looking to improve. I make it a point to look forward and plan my future/set new goals far more than I bask in retrospect. Of course, the past can be beneficial in shaping the [...]

I haven’t gotten to do jump testing just yet but I figured I’d share some results from the couple of tests that I did with the George Mason team a couple of weeks back. Besides, better to share them now before they’re too old and no longer relevant. It’s always fun to test though, even [...]

Now that I’m no longer in school and since I won’t be knee deep in bar exam preparations for about another month, I have more free time than I’ve had at any other point in my life. It’s true though, that training takes up a bit more time now than it did in previous years [...]

So the meet I had in France this past Friday went alright…I suppose. I set an indoor personal best of 16.64m and came in 4th behind three jumpers who went 17 meters (one of whom was Christian Olsson, the indoor world record holder in the event). As you can imagine, I had higher aspirations for [...]

I still have plenty of things to work on…but it’s the first weekend of January, which means that track and field season is officially here! No offense to all the cross country fans, but this is what I’ve been waiting for, both as a fan and a competitor. Since the World Indoor Championships are truly [...]
