    Another meaningless exercise blog…

    Going to the gym can be so boring.  I really do not have anything exciting to write about.  At this particular moment I do not even know what to really write about.  Should I write about my ab workout?  Should I write about the nasty,...

    I really hate blisters but I like art & vff’s

    My left heel is still tender from the blisters I got from running a half marathon this weekend with my vff’s.  I really hate blisters.  They sure can ruin a workout, eh?  They suck. I did 45 minutes on my elliptical this evening while watching...

    I’m reading a Michael Crichton book called “Travels”.  I’ve been reading this book now for over a month now.  Yes, I am a slow reader.  More than a slow reader, I think that I suffer from spreading myself out too thin by trying to read...

    Off to the races

    Well, I’m getting ready to head for the Tybee 1/2 marathon.  The temp at Tybee is currently at 55 with humidity at 78% and its windy.  Aside from the wind you really cannot ask for better weather for running. I don’t have any pre-race jitters...

    Born to Run – with 5 Fingers

    This is incredibly interesting.  I’ve now logged about a dozen miles running with my vibram 5 fingers which are essentially gloves for my feet and, I can tell you that your body will quickly adapt to running this bare minimally.  The first time I ran...

    To Run or not to Run. Run! And, don’t forget the lottery ticket!

    I ran 4.1 miles with my vibram 5 fingers today after work at the area around the Islands Ymca.  It was a good run.  Funny thing is that I did not want to run nor workout this evening.  When I left work I was kind...

    Prayer flags and hot water heaters and wine

    Yesterday I biked at the rails to trails and then hit the gym for a good ab workout and some good old fashion stretching.  I have a tendency of pushing myself hard.  It was good to give my old body some rest.  I’m not getting...
