Sometimes I find it difficult to fit in the exercise I need to make myself more fit. Whether it is to simply supplement my healthier diet in an effort to lose weight, or getting in the miles of biking, running, or swimming to prepare for the racing season; sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in [...]

I don’t have a cohesive theme for today, but I have some odds n’ ends:: After the food debacle of Sunday I had a nice reinforcement tonight. Rach took today off, and I wanted to watch the Canada/Russia hockey game. I told myself I’d work out after… and I did. I planned on doing an [...]

Did any of you hear a really loud thud on Sunday around 6PM Eastern time? That was the thud of me coming back to earth after almost two months of steady progress. Normally, when I decide to have a bit of a food binge/bender, I usually like to blame this guy: You can tell just by [...]

When I first started this blog, I made one mistake. I forgot to take a picture of myself. I wasn’t really thinking at that point about how much I was willing to share what I look like.  Here I am with a family friend in 1992 at my high school graduation party, I weighed maybe [...]

Last night, Wheelworks Multisport had a new member social to bring together fresh recruits like Rach and myself with others both new and returning to the team. It was in our neighborhood at a bar I’ve been wanting to visit. I’ve met some of the officers and returning members at previous in the past, along [...]

My wife and I moved to Boston this past July. I’m pretty outgoing, and she goes where I go. But between planning for our wedding last September, both of our work schedules, training, and her school; we really don’t know very many people outside of work. That’s the primary reason we joined the triathlon team [...]

Yesterday, Boston got a snow storm that made getting around pretty tough. And we had a house guest for the night who went through travel hell, so we put our life on hold to make sure he got in ok. This meant no working out yesterday, and with Olympic hockey on, I wasn’t horribly upset [...]

Saturday’s swim really re-energized my desire to work out and amplified my desire to prove to myself that I could swim the full 1.2 miles under the time limit for Timberman.  Because of President’s Day, I had the day off from work. The pool didn’t open until 11:30 today, so I figured this was the [...]

Today, I ate a cannoli.  And not just any cannoli. a Chocolate mousse cannoli dipped in chocolate chips from the world famous Mike’s Pastry. Why am I telling you this?  Because whenever I eat something like that, something way out of the range of my normal dietary constraints, it means something big went down in [...]
