Site Update: February 2010
Greetings from cold but not quite frozen Boston, MA. We’ve had some solid winter days, but the training and (indoor) racing has kept me from getting frostbite. I hope you have been able to stay warm and fit, wherever you are!
++++++++
Each month I will do a review of all the things that have happened here on the Endurance Lifestyle Blog over the last month, as well as cover what’s on tap. If you’ve missed anything, this is a great chance for you to catch up.
Writing
I kicked off the month talking about how to approach your Annual Planning Exercise. I released a few more excepts from my pending eBook, “Endurance Lifestyle Design” including part 3, part 4 and part 5. Please remember you can pre-order the book here and save. It should be ready by the end of February, at which point the price will go up.

I also wrote on Redefining Your Endurance Diet: Lose Weight, Get Lean & Get Faster This Winter (my fav of the month) as well as
Living the Fit Life.
Training & Racing
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Run For Haiti project, either on the blog or via the Facebook Group. I recap the final details here but know that we have raised just over $29,000 together to help Partners In Health support the peopole of Haiti. You Guys Rock!!! I recap suffering alongside The Halligan in the 2nd annual Harpoon Brewery Indoor TT when I write about how Cool Doesn’t Have To Mean Epic.
Small Business
The Motivation and Store Update saw us watch Mike Hedman go over 120 miles in 8 days and then launch Endurance Nation’s new Ironman and 70.3 plans. The Presentation and Store Update (January 2010) where I cover my talk at Wheelworks and mention the new videos on the 10Hours eBook website. I found time to re-launch my email newsletter, and will be adding site updates via email through there in the coming weeks.
What’s Coming Next
Training & Racing: I will be wrapping up the OutSeason and turning my attention to the Hyannis Half Marathon, my annual pilgrimage for winter run suffering on the Cape Cod. Would love to be sub 1:22 but it depends on so much…fingers crossed here! As I plot a March trip to Austin, TX, I might have to even consider swimming again — yikes!
Small Biz: I have some more book stuff coming your way, both from the ELD project but some new stuff for interacting with other people using the 10Hours resources. Very excited to roll these out!
