9 Months to Tri

I took the time to visit my doc and he had some updated blood work done on me. I know I had a ’screening’ at the gym about 3 1/2 months back, but even the technicians said it was only an indicator of the real numbers and I should have my blood work done at […]

Well, I lost my computer for a couple of weeks there. Actually, I lost it for 2 weeks, then got it back, then lost it for another week. And having lost said weeks, I’ve been playing catch up ever since.
However, I haven’t let it interfere with workouts and the like.
So, I promised […]

Well, Its July 8th.
Its been 9 months since I started. I’ve learned a lot of things. I’ve discovered others. I think the first thing I realized is that its difficult to stay excited for 9 months. If I was going to do this over again, I think I would have set up […]

First of all, congratulations to Brett. New job, new baby on the way, and now a new racing business. We’re hoping him all the best out there in Arizona, and can’t wait to get out there and run with him in the 100 degree weather. What? Who said that?
As for me, […]

Its been a while since I updated here last. Workouts have been averaging about 3 per week. Days like today are too abundant. Since Brett left and Jim moved from the multimedia group, we’ve gone from 3 people to handle all of these graphics project to just me. Monday night I […]

Wow, has it really been 19 days since I’ve updated? Its possible. With summer here, activity has increased exponentially in all aspects of my life; Work, home, play.
Anyway, some highlights are in order…
Physical Therapy is officially over, but the clicking in my left knee continues. I might have this looked at again […]

I actually weighed in on time this week, but unfortunately, I weighed in at 266 lbs. I’m not sure what that signifies exactly. In fact, after today’s workout, I jumped on the scale just to be sure, and I was down to 264 lbs.  So arbitrary sometimes.
I ran 5K on Friday last week, thought it […]

Well, technically we’re 2 weeks before a ‘real’ 7 month weigh-in. At 6 and a half months in, we’re really starting to see the drift between a ‘real’ month and our ‘easy’ 4-week months.
Anyway, I weighed in at 264lbs, so no more backsliding. However, I only managed to pump out 39 push-ups, so I’m […]

Yesterday was weigh-in. I missed 2 in a row. I’ve also been somewhat active, but out of the gym for 2 weeks, really. In truth, it seems that I’ve been out of training for almost a month. Checking my logs, it looks like I’ve worked out a little over half a […]

So, I spent the whole day at an off-site location for some training. The whole day was a predefined schedule with only 45 minutes for lunch. The next two days will be similar. Still haven’t made it into the gym to weigh-in this week, but I suppose missing one week won’t matter in the grand […]
