  • Twas a friday after noon and all the house was quiet… because I was running

    Friday, October 30th, 2009

    I ran one lap on Friday.. ( I am posting this on Saturday and back dating it so that it logs correctly)
    - 1 lap – 15 minutes
    - Running while on the cell phone is harder to do than I thought, but people didn’t say anything until told them I was running. I wish it wasn’t [...]

  • Around the block and nobody knows.

    Monday, October 26th, 2009

    Short blog entry because I am tired and need sleep:
    I ran today!
    I went counter clock wise. which put the hill at the end of the run. I am now calling that hill “the punisher”.
    I ran one lap. (1.5mi)
    Stopped for 7 minutes to talk to a neighbor (at the top of the punisher)
    I continued home for [...]

  • Sometimes the best workout, is good old fashioned labor.

    Saturday, October 24th, 2009

    This week only yielded one “workout” session where I got dressed up in fancy shorts, stretched my muscles, and pretended I was chasing someone. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t get my workout this week.
    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings were spent going up and down ladders, tearing off, and putting on new shingles.  What [...]

  • Distractions happen – But ruining still got done.

    Monday, October 19th, 2009

    Monday and Friday are basically the only evenings this week that I have to get a good run in.
    I got off to a good start took the easy direction (the hill at the start of the run) and got about a quarter mile and went past a friends house. Well he was outside and we [...]

  • Chopping wood really works out the arms and back.

    Sunday, October 18th, 2009

    I was not going to blog about the work that I did on the firewood yesterday, even though Mia told me too. When I woke up this morning, however, I was so sore that It prompted me to agree with her.
    I had a pile of wood that I had to get split and put in [...]

  • Rain, Run and lungs that need more exercise.

    Friday, October 16th, 2009

    My Thursday run was not meant to be this week. Mia asked me to stop for Pizza on my way home which made me get home just after dark which meant that my run would have been a High Point parking lot run; and lets face it I don’t have any way to measure that [...]

  • Delayed response – My Monday Run…

    Monday, October 12th, 2009

    Well I did run on Monday. It was a very cold NY mountain morning at about 8 am.  We were just getting packed up at the “‘hootel” as Maura calls it.  I felt like a quick run was in order while Mia was in the shower and Maura was still sleeping.
    The run seemed short, but [...]

  • I forgot how much I like to run.

    Thursday, October 8th, 2009

    1.5 miles in 16 minutes is not bad for the first time back. At least as far as I am concerned.
    I made one lap around the “block” and I did it clock wise (i made the right out of my driveway) this route makes me run up hill right away, then down and along a [...]

  • Life’s little curve-balls – and sore muscles.

    Thursday, October 8th, 2009

    Despite major changes at work, and Jeep repairs for our imminent vacation, I have not forgotten about my resolution. The plan has been formulated, then mutilated, and then set in stone. The stone was then placed in front of where I walk so I could trip over it. I know, you’re thinking– “He’s lost his mind”– but I have not. This week is not over, and the plan is made. Tonight I have some running to do.

    First, I present, The Plan:

  • Day 1 – Got to start somewhere.

    Monday, October 5th, 2009

    Today, I made this blog to help me get on track with some things in my life.
    I did some sit-ups and chopped a half a cord of wood.
    Tomorrow… The plan!
