 I have just started drinking this stuff after my runs. I drink water and I have been drinking G2 from Gatorade for awhile now, but I recently tried this Propel Fitness Water. It is tasty and at only 20 calories, not a bad post-run drink. The fruit flavor adds a nice kick. I know this post […]

Next race
July 7th, 2008 · No Comments
 Well, I scheduled the next 5K this week. It is the Historic Beaufort Road Race in Beaufort, NC on July 19th. I am hoping for another sub-30 minute time. I am light than my last 5K and I was at 29:57 so hopefully I can do that again!

Wimbledon 2008
July 7th, 2008 · No Comments
 I am not a huge tennis fan and I don’t play much, but the Wimbledon 2008 Men’s Championship Final was something to behold. I was holding out for Roger to win one more time before being replaced by the next generation. It was a fantastic match though and I hated to see anyone lose. What a […]

 Did anyone watch The Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon? Major testament to fitness here! It is a 1.5 mile swim in cold, choppy water followed by an 18 mile bike race and then an 8 mile run. According to the announcers it is one of the most challenging courses in the sport. I believe it! I […]

Tips for Summer Running
June 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Admittedly I am not expert in running. I have been running for about a year. Okay, I used to be a runner I suppose, but I consider my modern “rebirth” taking place last year when I got serious about trying to run without injury and improve my performance and things like that. So, being a non-expert, […]

Beginning a Running Program
April 7th, 2008 · No Comments
 So, I was talking with someone today about how to get started running. I have been running for almost a year now. I can’t believe it. I was a runner in years past, but I have rarely been this committed for this long of a time. Anyway, when I started last year, I was at […]

March 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment
 So I wanted to publish my new workout. It has changed a little since I started in January. It is about to change again on The Abs Diet as that book has an exercise plan in it. I love a diet book with an Exercise plan since one of our diet principles (See The Diet […]

Mastering the Pullup
March 31st, 2008 · No Comments
 So I have always had a love-hate relationship with Pullups. Actually, I used to have the same problem with pushups, until I started focusing on pushups. Now pushups are my old friend. The same has happened for running. Running was HARD (I am still pretty heavy and that makies running hard). Still, I decided that […]

Heart Rate, Weight Loss and Targeting Fat
March 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Well, I have been reading about Heart Rate and all of that. I am a runner (not a good one nor a fast one, but I do un so I take the liberty of calling myself a runner).
Anyway, I run pretty often (3-4 times a week) and my heart rate (measured with my Polar heart […]
