Brett's Scribbles: Minnetonka 1/2 Marathon
http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2012/05/minnetonka-12-marathon.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. Well, I ran Lake Minnetonka 1/2 marathon for the 3rd year in a row. I was not expecting a PR. But i did it! On a slightly hill course! It was such a great race! I almost puked at the end of the race. I finished 117th overall, top 10% in my age group! It's amazing how you get faster and faster, the more miles you put on. I'm excited to continue to break my PR's. The Monster Dash will be a great opportunity for that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I like bicycles and beer.

Brett's Scribbles: Liberty Half Ironman 70.3
http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2012/06/liberty-half-ironman-what-race-i.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Liberty Half Ironman 70.3. I finished in just under 5:20! Almost entering the medic tent, i recovered after about 20 min of catching my breath. Once i popped back i felt great. During the recovery time I did not realize i was not getting enough oxygen. LESSON LEARNED! Take deep breaths even if your lungs are in pain. It's amazing how each race is different and you are faced with new challenges. I saw alot of friends on the course. What a great weekend! I like bicycles and beer.

Brett's Scribbles: Spending freeze
http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2014/02/spending-freeze.html
Saturday, February 1, 2014. I hope this post will be followed by many other in the near future. Inspired by others, some friends and I have decided to not spend any money for the month of February. We gassed up our cars, went grocery shopping and stocked up. (This excludes our months bills, mortgage, utilities, phones) Our goals include challenging our views on luxuries, embracing being uncomfortable and creatively save money.

http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2010/07/purpose-naw.html
Friday, July 23, 2010. The summer is going fast! I have tons to write about with little time. I'm almost done with this semester of summer school. Which i'm excited about, I'm graduating in December and i'll be thankful to be done. Now - this is something i am very interested in and have spent an immeasurable amount of time and mental energy on. When i say alot of time, I mean alot, like. years. So i raise my hand and ask (Prof. Payne and I have spent alot of time together). He replies with "Well, Yea".

http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2012/06/106-17.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. After the Liberty Tri, I am 5 weeks out from IRONMAN LAKE PLACID! Then on Sunday, I got out for a 17 mi run! I ran Minnehaha creek to Lake Harriet, around Lake Harriet and back home. Felt great. legs were fatigued but overall happy with a successful weekend. 106 miles is the farthest i've ever biked in a day and 17 miles is the furthest i've ever ran in a day.:).

Brett's Scribbles: Update!
http://brett-baker.blogspot.com/2012/04/update.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. Kicking wrong, my stroke was wrong.I might as well have put my wet suit on upside-down, and my goggles on backwards and tried swimming. So the last 6 months i have been swimming a minimum of 2 times per week. I haven't missed a swim class since Oct. I have learned how to swim! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
