I’m trying. I feel like I’m without the time or energy to reach all of my goals–but I think I always feel like that. My weight is back down to 184 post trip, which is essentially the same as it was. I’ve done a couple of bike rides, I’ve gone geocaching, and I’ve run. I’ve […]
One of the biggest issues I run into while traveling is that I lose my sense of routine. It sometimes sounds odd that I follow a pretty strict regimen, but it makes it easier for me (parents can usually appreciate this as well). It goes like this: 4:45 am wake up, work out of some […]
I’m running out of time. In more ways than one, I’m running out of time. I have one more day of vacation after today, and I’m trying to squeeze in too many things, to make triple workout Thursday, for instance, into quadruple workout Thursday with a run to meet friends afterward, then to hike on […]
I’m on vacation this week. Some of these posts may be a bit short, but they were written to give you something to read while I’m traveling as well as to continue on our ongoing themes: I’m not a golfing fan and I don’t have a television, but that didn’t stop me from following (mostly, […]
I’m on vacation, finally, after a really long work stretch of eleven days, a relapse of a cold, and a lot of stress. I still have many things to do before I get on the plane on Monday night, including preparing enough blog posts to make sure I don’t miss any days while I’m on […]
There’s a lot of positives to having a routine; believe it or not, it actually helps to manage the stress of life better. Getting up around the same time, eating around the same time and same amount, going to bed around the same time–all of that helps tremendously. So what’s the problem with routine? No, […]
Rain days are one of the things totally out of my control. I woke up on Sunday morning to do a ride before 5 am and found it raining and wet. There wasn’t a lot I could do but go back to sleep. Flake days, however, are much more in my control. Despite the fact […]
Creaky. That’s how I feel when I’m rolling out of bed. I would like to say that things were better when I was younger, but realistically, I don’t remember ever not being creaky, back to high school. I’m sure it had everything to do with being heavy. I was far from the most athletic kid. […]
The day after, in this case, anyway, isn’t about the morning following a one night stand, but rather the day after you start on your exercise regimen. If you’ve been pretty sedentary, there’s certainly a strong chance you’ll be sore. Muscles you’re not used to using–heck, muscles you didn’t even know existed!–have been used harder […]
Sorry to disappoint those of you who are tuning in for yet another episode in my story (like I’m all that interesting), but I thought I’d let you know that I did register yesterday for the Honolulu Bicycling League Century Ride, marking the fourth straight year I’ll participate in it. I’m training, although not as […]
