NETI - the Practice of Sinus Irrigation

Marathon preparation... did 16miler+ later in day 10mile Raven Run at beginning of month.  Completed 21 miler and will do final big 26 miler around new years.  No heavy leg lifts till after Marathon.  Running marathon with Flasher and doing the 2009 ING  HD video of her efforts in the Race

Bought a new HD Mini Camcorder for Hi Definition Videos!  Marathon will be first HD video.

Creve ran 814 miles & weight fluctuated from 155.2-171.6 in 2008

November 2008 Update:

Creve's 4th successful Raven Recruit, from Turkey: The Turkish Delight (Hande)

After 8 miles in the SoBe Sand.  The next day her sister, Gizmo (Gizem) became Creve's 5th successful Raven Recruit.

Creve about to have Post Workout meal after heavy squats at the gym. Likely the last jog at CCL next to dripping Springs where lovelorn Indian princess plummeted to her tragic death.

October 2008 Update:

Riding on the Raven's coattails, Creve had his first photo in Unrestricted Sports Magazine as a RavenRegular (Abbreviated Article).  Taken after a hot, sweaty run and with a directed hand on hip cheesy pose (although the close your mouth & stare at the life guard stand was likely a good tip)

Damn work... Creve missed the big RAVEN Birthday Run & Big Pink Dinner 2008 Oct. 17

CreveCoeurLake - Creve's vertical leap has improved so much he nearly popped a knee cap on his 2nd to last STL work trip of year, but will also be on vacation over Thanksgiving week.  Creve recruited the Bar Maid (Perniella) from Switzerland, for the Raven Run.

September 2008 Update:

  Visited Matthew, Creve's newest relative after 23 hours labor for sister, in Virginia. 

Creve, LuLuLemon & Coach Raw Man (He is Creve's Nutritional opposite: Avoids Protein & Fats - Strict low calorie Raw carb Diet last 38 years) Creve does not recommend avoiding Protein or healthy Fats- In fact of the 4 types, carbs & alcohol are unnecessary (But carbs will improve your athletic performance - most Americans just don't earn carbs through effort)

August 2008 Update:

Normally just re-read same group books every 10 years or so, but taking on some deeper exploration of interesting ideas: The Religion War 

Just this month started a new "trick/tactic" to burn a little more fat with low intensity cardio (ie 8-12 mile slow Raven Runs) - Creve eats 2 oz Salty Pecans 425 calories [instead of carbs or protein] before 1 1/2-2 hour steady state cardio with fills the Blood with 45 grams slow burning fats and seems to increase the body fat burned.  No problems digesting and stable energy throughout.  Good so far.

Ran Raven Run #200 in August= 1600 Raven Miles

July 2008 Update:

RAVEN's 98,000 Mile

4th of July Flag Run

Creve spent a week in Uruguay one afternoon in July.

June 2008 Update: Lots of SoBe Thunderstorms and not much to report.  Biggest news is Cycled off Creatine for couple months and weight seems to have dropped about 8lbs :(  and strength decreased.

Passing through DC a spectacular rainbow appeared on the runway.

May 2008 Update: 2.5x body weight/417.5lbs Dead Lift Video 

Monty's "Going Away Party" for Reunite, Popsicle & Freshman

Creve was in the lead for the Raven Run Treasure hunter award with a measly $1 bill, but has now secured that with 2x$5 bills during a Memorial Day Raven Run #177.

 

April 2008 Update: Creve's behind in April; a lot of traveling to the UK but was too tired for any pics and almost have the 'new' Dell m1330 laptop working right.  Gave up on installing XP on it and just trying to get Vista working right (still have some program hogging up all the cpu resources, damn Vista- hopefully service pack1 will help out)  Once it gets working will be able to produce some more videos

No more races till fall and I believe Creve's pregnant Sister is moving from Key West in a month, may do a trip down there to visit one last time (seeing as she never has anytime to visit her brother in Miami Beach)

Reduced the running mileage ~10miles and doing way more peppy walking (CreveCoeur Pace) probably 35+miles per week Airport, SoBe Road & Sand.  April was a lacking month for any pictures, in fact Creve only took 1 picture all month:

Creve's first concert in over a decade: Moody Blues @ HardRock Seminal Casino

RAVEN PotLuck Picnic 2008_03_28

Celebrity 5K 21:19 8th Place

February 2008 Leap Year Update:- Running aches are pretty bad after marathon and Creve is going to focus on gaining some lean mass next couple months with strength training.  Just this last month Creve's biciptal tendonitis has healed up!  Creve's started bench pressing again-unable since April 2007, but injury was for the best, as it forced Creve to focus on Dead Lifts & Squats.

Creve has discovered that the shins aches/problems really only happen when he runs on pavement!  So will try to stick to the sand and walk back from Raven Runs, except for Pt Tests, the occasional 5k or yearly Miami Marathon those will have to be pavement.  Creve's sister is Pregnant.

Since only had 1 pic for Feb. threw in Feb. Oldies from the RollerBlading CreveCoeurLake Days

January 2008 Update: Tropical 5K Sat then ING Miami Marathon Sunday

 

Busy month for Creve with the approaching ING Miami Marathon and international trips.  Running has not been going well with the shin discomfort.  Mileage has been way to low and shins always hurt.  Strength training has been going well and Creve is fairly happy with lower body & back gains - look for a Max 2.5BW Deadlift Video in February (Editor: Now April) being cautious on max lift with Marathon looming.  Creve's sister is thinking of moving from Key West to Virginia and the parents are visiting Florida with the cats.  Creve walked the 5K the day before the Marathon with Mom & Flash (only 5K participant in sandals & Backpack)

 

Loving the Florida weather this time of year, excellent for long runs - Amping up the running mileage for January Marathon and getting stronger on strength training but slow gains in mass. 

SoBeJogger's itinerate freelance photographer and shutterbug extraordinaire, Isabelinda, had her first Art exhibit opened on Dec. 13 at RexArt gallery in Corral Gables: art work on display till Jan 19.

December Ramblings

Running is being painful on Creve's shins and the extra cardio keeping him from gaining any mass this fall - may be under eating.  Mileage is way below where it should be and Marathon in Jan will have a poor time if this shin pain continues.  Cardiovascular wise Creve is running strong even with the reduced mileage. 

Chesterfield Turkey Trot 5K - 38 degrees! and hilly course 20:45

Creve finally ordered a replacement laptop for his aging Dell 700m 12.1": A Dell XPS 1330 13.3" with 250gb storage

Creve is researching turning this update page and other personal info into a password protected members only section, or at least just a minor "about us link".  Recent anonymous comments have expressed that SoBeJogger is too skewed toward being a "Vanity" site.  While its beginnings were mostly that, with Creve never getting to call many people or do timely emails; it was his way to let everyone catch up in their free time and viewers seemed to prefer a picture to a paragraph.   However Creve has to admit this is a great suggestion and well over due.  It's main focus should be celebrating fitness and health for the majority of viewers with Creve's current research in a more simple format.

Key Biscayne 5K:  

last DC jog of 2007     

 

left London hotel for a jog:

Sept 30 was the Wet & Windy HaulOver Park  Race for Kids 5K:

       

Sept. started out with a quick visit to the STL and Creve's old jogging grounds: CreveCoeurLake

Going to cut back on the strength training and amp up the jogging soon.  Been unable to bench press or do arm curls do to injury since April, however this injury has ironically helped Creve balance out the body.  Being only able to work the Back/legs (Hated doing these DeadLifts/Squats) and a little shoulder & Triceps has saved Creve from falling into the 'Neanderthal' trap (Where guys become all chest and arms on pencil legs and hunch forward and almost drag their arms)  Like with the stress fracture jogging injury Creve has managed to turn this setback into edible sugar-free Lemonade.  Now with a better foundation once this injury is healed up (After 2008 Marathon?) the desired results, a year late, should finally be attainable. 

More international trips for Creve coming up.  May wait to produce future CC videos until replace Dell 700m Laptop with new Dell XPS 1330- want bigger hardrive and more video power to make better quality DV Videos and not have extra compressed video layer.  Foot verruca should be gone and Creve over 170lbs will amp up running/Cardio for Jan Marathon and cut off the extra 1-2% Fat Mass gaining during Clean Bulk.  That's over 15lbs mostly Muscle packed on since Jan 2007 and 37lbs since low in Jan 2006! 

July has been fine- Hot & Sunny( actually got a little red on head & shoulders.)  Creve ran the Diabetes Dash 5K 21:09 in downtown Miami. 

Really trying to cut back on cardio next month or two will see what kind of results happen this fall...  Leak from 4 floors above got fair amount of water on condo wall & kitchen floor.

Creve went to Paris for work: - to crowded for decent jogging & foot sore from the weekly cutting by podiatrist; was relieved to be back in SoBe (Creve doesn't like leaving his zip code these days):

June is starting out wet in SoBe.  Creve is working on a Loose in London, Memorial Day Hip Hop, Key Biscayne Bike & Raven Music videos.  Disappointed with the .1 lb weight gain in May (did lose some fat) and will try to cut back on running/cardio in June/July to gain muscle/mass.  No more Vacations till November, unless hurricane strikes so can easily fill time with chores/tasks/cooking.   June ended wet - more rain/Tstorms than Creve has seen yet in SoBe - almost flooded Creve's car in garage; went up to door.  Creve dropped his car keys down the trash shoot- had to scrounge around in dumpster to find computer chip key/alarm fob.  Creve is sick with a nasty cold to end a hot and muggy June- did average 2.1 lbs weight gain!  Have seen better Junes.

     

May is going fairly well for Creve except for a upper Right Arm (Front Delt Strain?) Unable to do most upper body lifts (No Benches or Dips)  Concentrating on leg/back work in gym and would like to just do a serious BodyFat cutting phase/running for a few weeks but shin stress fracture is starting to hurt a little so don't want to overdo that.  Another vacation over Memorial day is coming up and Creve is just hanging out in SoBe and catching up on chores.  Creve had a couple work trips to the UK but was so tired after work never did get any decent Video for UK movie.  Sorry, Rest & Nutrition is Creve's Main Priority, above even training & running, next couple months to gain some mass.  Then can cut extra fat easy with marathon preparations this winter.
