So, here we are another week has passed, and thankfully, my hard work is continuing to move my weight in the right direction. I was back down to 314 on the scale this morning following the 14 miles on the bike yesterday. Here are the thoughts for this weekend: – Today was the Morning of [...]

After the past few weeks of trips and with extra expenditures all over the place, we’ve been trying to live a little leaner. We’ve got the honeymoon coming up to save for, races to register for, and we still plan to do some exploring of New England yet this summer. One easy thing I can do to [...]

The great thing about a training plan that you administer yourself is that you can also change it. And while it can be a double edged sword when you’re not at your strongest in terms of willpower; it’s as least as much of a benefit as it is a concern. As I mentioned the other [...]

Yesterday, I wound up going home a little early from work finishing my day at home. I felt lousy all day, with a strange ringing in my left ear and a lot of sinus congestion. Thankfully the ringing has subsided, but my sinuses are a mess. Anyways, I went to bed early yesterday. The good [...]

(Sorry if this post lacks the usual cohesion, I went to bed at 10 and woke at 4. My writing brain might not be turned on all the way.)A full weekend home couldn’t have come at a better time. We’d been on the run for so long, even having a lot of fun, that being [...]

Don’t be confused by the title; there is never time in which I would actually do crunches. Not on purpose anyways. I occasionally compress my abdominal muscles to bend over and pick up an empty pizza box, or to reach for the video game controller, but I hate abdominal workouts. (Note: I did actually do [...]

A few weeks ago I took advantage of a good deal at REI to get some clipless pedals. Now that I’ve had them for a while and had a chance to put them through their paces I figured I’d pass on what I found out so far. Have you ever seen the commercials where the [...]

Understandably after a long weekend, I was pretty tired, but I had some work to do Sunday night both for my regular job and my work for gaming nexus. So I stayed up to my usual time Sunday. This left me extraordinarily tired yesterday after work.  Rachelle worked as an athletic trainer at yesterdays 114th [...]
