Oh boy.  I have some catching up to do.  It has been a preposterously busy last couple weeks for me with all sorts of responsibilities/excuses.  For the most part I’ve been keeping up with the fitness side of things, but I … Continue reading →

Yup, that is officially the furthest I’ve ever run.  After work today, I ran over 5 miles at a pretty decent pace (sub 9:00 miles).  The crazy thing is… I really felt like I could have kept going.  That’s what’s … Continue reading →

You may recall my Row v Run post from a couple days ago… and by “you” I mean “probably not you unless you’re Kelly”.  This post will be a bit of a follow-up, as well as a weekend-in-review post, since I … Continue reading →

You may recall (and by “you” I pretty much mean “my wife Kelly”, since she’s the only person who I know actually reads this drivel) I ended my last post in a bit of despair (not to be confused with … Continue reading →
