    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...

    The wine of the week, the weekend I mean, is Tapena Tempranillo.  Can you say that?  The “n” has that little “enya” sound to it -just like the lady with the  really, really nice voice.  The “ll” in tempranillo is pronounced “yo”, like Rocky Balboa...

    Another zinfandel

    Here’s another decent wine from the barefeet wine making folks. I like their Pinot noir & now, this zinf. And, another excellent thing about these barefeet wines is the price! $5.99 per bottle! That’s totally awesome. Any way, this Zinfandel is tasty but definitely not...

    3 days til Christmas & I’m still working out. what’s wrong with me?

    Ok.  Guess what I did today?  I hit the gym and worked up a good sweat on the elliptical and on the stationary bike.  It was a tough workout today for whatever reason. I started off my workout with the abs.  I did crunches, alternating...

    Another evening of indoor cardio exercising.  I tore it up in the gym today.  I hit the weights first and then the cardio.  I didn’t stretch, though.  That is not good.  Unlike Jeff Galloway, I think stretching after running is a very good thing to...

    Lets see if I can drink a glass of wine without spilling it all over myself or over the table and on the rug.  Yesterday was not a good day for me to drink wine.  Three times I attempted to drink a glass of wine...

    I ran 3.28 miles at the bonaventure cemetery on Sunday.  That’s the first time I’ve run outside since the Savannah River Bridge run. I’ve been fearful of running outdoors with the nasty weather we’ve been having the last week because of the long cold I...
