It’s funny that I’m back posting on Turbo Jam again. But, it’s the biggest - and I do mean biggest - traffic generator on my little blog. Since the first of the year more than 7,000 folks have stopped by to read one or both of my two posts on the subject:
Turbo Jam [...]

A while back I mentioned that I had a new approach to my fitness. Last year was all about losing the baby weight and getting into shape. The vehicle I used was running and the goal to run a half marathon was the motivator. I finished roughly with a 2:13 time and [...]

Exercise has been a hard discipline this spring. Schedules, motivation, ambitions have all swirled together and left me scattered at times. Exercise is the thing that loses out in the midst of all this shuffling. April has been the best month for me this year, but every day I still fight to [...]

The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.
No, I didn’t come close to touching the times of the women who won the Rock and Roll Marathon. (1 hour and 11 minute times), but the victory was not having the best time. Winning meant doing my best, pushing [...]

It’s only 3 days until my half marathon. That’s right 13.1 miles up and down the streets of Virginia Beach, VA…with 19,999 of my closest friends. Yikes! Was I kidding when I signed up for this race? I’m not good in groups you know. Good thing I don’t have to [...]

That’s how many calories I burned yesterday in my 11.4 mile run. Yes, that is a long way. It’s not 13.1 miles, but it’s a good chunk of time - 2 hours and 9 minutes. Not to mention I pulled a groin muscle lifting weights on Saturday, so it way painful, too. [...]

Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. While my almost daily workouts only last an hour or so, I find them chewing into my brain at all hours of the day. This is the point where the hard work finally pays off, and I realize that I might actually fit into all of my old clothes again, [...]

I’ve recently taken up weight lifting as part of my exercise routine. I do a series of videos from the Get Ripped series. Each segment is about 50 minutes long and works upper body and some lower body (squats and lunges) along with abs. The workouts are high rep/low weight and designed [...]
