I’m a little sore. Not a lot, but a little. I’ve been getting my training program going again after having fallen a bit off the wagon for awhile. My weight has crept back up to 190 after spending a long time around 185. So I’ve been running and riding, and trying to get my diet […]

I’m making progress. Slowly, but it’s coming. I’d fallen so off the wagon the last few weeks I stopped making the smoothies for dinner I had done for months. Instead I was either eating out or eating more cheese sticks and almonds, chased by a Diet Pepsi. That has to stop. I’ve also been sleeping […]

I’m tired, still. This month has been full of celebrations (which are not over yet), working a weekend day or two, and a new computer system at work, all of which are conspiring to keep me tired. I dunno about you but I find that combining being tired with not working out to be a […]

I’m righting the ship here. After the century ride I gave myself longer of a time off from being serious about working out than I really wanted to. In the meantime, the days have gotten shorter and the weather has been either raining hard or incredibly hot and humid. Things are, however, turning around. With […]

It’s like I’ve woken up again. The century has been done for awhile, I’m physically recovered from my near heat stroke and the various pain and tightness associated with that. I’ve also had a really busy few weeks with a couple of weddings and a couple of birthday parties–either done or on the horizon. I’ve […]

I used to play basketball very regularly when I was younger. I gave it up a few years ago because while I loved being part of a team and competing, I didn’t like being injured. No matter what the theory is, basketball is a contact sport, particularly for someone like me. In basketball terminology, I’m […]

I’m very, very sore. Yesterday I played basketball fairly competitively for the first time in many years. I had a ton of fun but I also injured myself. That’s why I gave up basketball in the first place. One of the problems with injuries is that it’s tough to do any kind of exercise when […]

I did a fifty mile ride this morning. I’m not really where I want to be in terms of training yet but I’m more than okay. The route I did this morning has three significant hills–Mokapu, Keolu, and Makapu’u for those of you from the island. They’re not fun although they’re not the worst that […]

I’ve been talking for awhile about triple workout Thursday–my attempts on Thursdays to get in a cycling, swimming, and some other (sometimes running, sometimes weights) workout. This week I decided to change things up a bit on the weekend, going for quadruple workout Saturday. Two hours on the bike; one hour in the pool; a […]

Every so often I try to reinvent myself. That doesn’t mean that I become a different person, just skilled in a different area. A few years ago I decided I wanted to learn how to write computer programs, so I went ahead and did it. I decided not long ago I wanted to try to […]
