Back agin. Been training off and on all this year and some of last year. Losing weight and getting faster. Summer of 2010 was good, Winter not so good. 2011 is “shaping” up good.

40 minutes today, easy
Getting back into it. We’ll see how it goes. Have a goal of racing September. Hopefully a goal will help.
New Goal – 40Km
Need a racewalking goal to get things moving. Not better way to go than publish it.
See you all in September.
Two days to go!!!
Day after Christmas and with all the hectic stuff that goes on with the holidays I finally got a day of training in.
Things have been mucho hectic around here. Flooded basement, father-in-law in the hospital for a few days.
Here hoping 2009 is a better training year. I’ll be in a new age group and want to get back into racing again.
First Long Walk
First long walk outside. 1:40, An hour, forty minutes at an easy pace. Felt good to back on the roads. Temp was 61 today. That is mild for the Northeast USA tis time of the year. So, signs are good for at least finishing the 10 miler.
30/30 Plus
Been doing this workout arrangement several times a week. 30 minutes on the weight circuit then 30 minutes or more on the treadmill. Seems to be working out pretty good. Keep the heart rate up and insures that I don’t over train on the treadmill.
Started easy on the treadmill and after 10 minutes increased the pace one mph each minute until 5 1/2 mph. Slowly getting back into form.
Here is a shot at a 40k Championship Walk on the old Fort Monmouth 2k loop. It is pre 2001 and the 9/11 attacks. They closed access to the base after that. Man does time fly. Leaner, meaner training days.
Don’t know who took the photo. Probably Elliot Denman as he always has camera in hand and sends the photos out. Thanks Elliot.

20/20 – 20 on the treadmill and 20 one the bike.
Here is a photo I dug up and scanned of the 1988, 20 years ago and many pounds lighter. Of the Ronn Zinn 10 miler on the Asbury Park boardwalk. Not a bad time. Well see if I can ever get even close those times.
Ronn Zinn was a two time Olympian who was killed in Vietnam.
The photo was taken by Elliot Denman.
I’ll be posting more photos at www.CurtSheller.com/photos.shtml
Only 28 days left till the race
One hour on the treadmill yesterday.
Only 28 days left till the race. The Polar Bear Classic 10 MIle Race Walk in Asbury Park, NJ
Week Two
I’ll probably drop the “Day and Week” of the blog post title.
I hit the circuit today and did 30 minutes on the treadmill. Planning on going back tonight for another 30 minutes or more.
Photo the left is me at the 1995 WAVA 20km World Championships. I was the third american in our age group and we took medal. I forget which one. I think gold.
The race was on the old 10 National course in Niagara Fall, NY, USA side. It was a really hot day and I went out really slow and passed a lot of walkers in the second half as most faded because of the heat.
I finished 8th in 1:52:13, 1st place team (USA)
Forgot to post about Saturday, November 22. I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the bike.
Today is my oldest daughter Amy’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Day Three Training
Did the 30 minute Weigh Circuit and one hour on the treadmill. Finishing the last ten minutes increasing the pace to 9:20.
