Creating a Monster

I’ve been testing barefoot runners on Fridays, when I don’t usually work out. It’s a short run, about 1.5-2 Miles. Enough to warm up and enjoy, but not enough where it’s a beating out in the heat. Thursdays, after I lift, I’d have a sense of peace and accomplishment. I’d get a little euphoric that … Continue reading Creating a Monster →

Don’t Stop

Found on Vox Popoli the other day: An 88-year-old who I’d been seeing for falls, weakness, and a hip fracture told me I looked strong. Asked if I lifted weights. I proudly confirmed his assumption as I’d been lifting for the past 9 years. He smiled and said he used to lift too. Shared his … Continue reading Don’t Stop →

I'm doing that thing where I indulge more than I should. I really haven't made great gains because I still don't … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Getting Fit

This month's weigh in had me at an Empty Weight of 195. Hoof! that's a 10lb in a month increase where the previous three had me consistently between 185 and 190. That anomaly got me thinking. On the minus side of the ledger, I've eaten out more last month than usual. Most of that is … Continue reading Getting Fit →
