Hey, we won!

I can still smell the blood Final score, 24-6. Victory! Victory! Victory!
Ok, so it was only a softball game…but hey I scored twice, which for me is a major accomplishment! Although getting beaned in the head with a softball wasn’t too fun….
Victory!

Seemed easier in high school….

Tags: ,

Boy it’s been a while since I’ve done repeats of any sort. Perhaps I reminisce too much, but running seemed to be much easier in high school. 32×200? no sweat back then.
Today? 10×100…I’m dead. I kinda sound/feel like that old dude from Napoleon Dynamite.
If only coach had put me in fourth quarter…

The measurements…

Tags: ,

Lets see if this dieting-lifting-actually running frequently-workout plan works…this time….
LA: 14.25″
RA: 14.5″
LT: 23″
RT: 22.625″
WST: 39.25″ at belly-button
wow…not only am I disproportionate, but I’m kinda….big. sigh.

Speed is relative

Tags:

…But today’s run felt semi-fast I’m glad I can still do a sub-10min pace, even if it is only for 3 1/4 miles. Hey it’s a start!

Where’d the weekend go?

Tags: , ,

Boy, that flew by real fast…. I finished up a large project for a client Thursday night, so I spent most of Friday cleaning up (I tend to ignore trivial things such as cleanliness when programming for weeks on end). Saturday we went to look at another location for wedding/reception, then to PF Chang’s and [...]

Game on!

The first softball game of the season was tonight; I hate to admit since I’ve always said baseball is the most boring sport in existence…but I really like it I think playing with a group of 18 friends helps.
So did the beer
We have a bye-week next week; I think we’ll all get [...]

Another great weekend!

Alyssa and I went up to Du Bois with some friends for our first official ‘Staycation’, AKA Lakefest 2008! We’re not technically sure if going to her parent’s house -rather than staying at ours- officially counts as a staycation, but it’d close enough!
At any extent we went up for a relaxing weekend in Du Bois. [...]

Another hot one

Tags: ,

I’ve *really* got to start running before 2:30. Nothing like a hot Pittsburgh day to teach you that.
Another 90-degree day. Played it safe though, and did 2 miles (1 out, 1 back) due to the heat. Also ran with water!
Seems you can teach an old dog new tricks

That was stupid of me…

Tags: ,

I decided to go running today at about 2pm. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, except it was bright, sunny, 85 degrees, and abut 95% humidity.
I made it about 2 3/4 miles from home before realizing my error. It was a long, sweaty, thirsty walk home.
Shame on me.

Good Run Today

Tags:

Been trying like crazy to get back into a normal routine with my workouts. Haven’t been too successful. Seems I’m too tired in the morning, too busy during the day, and too exhausted at night. But hey, if you don’t do it, you never will.
So at about 3 today I turned off my monitor (GASP!) [...]
