Ive been busy….and because of that, I’ve been tired.  I have been keeping up with the workouts given to me and have actually gotten outside on Wednesday night.  However, it was on my cross country skate skis, so still no pedaling outside.
This weekend is going to be a bust as well.  Between now and Sunday [...]

I can’t believe it…more snow.  When will it ever stop??  This time, we got about 8 inches of the white death and I consider that to be lucky in comparison.  Where I live, we got 8 inches, where I work, which is 13 miles, door to door, got about 25 inches of snow.  I consider [...]

I am still working on a few things with the site.  I recently added my last.fm “scrobbled” tracks, so it basically lists the last songs that I have listened to.  Other than that, I am just sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out some font size, type and color for a few things [...]

After a bunch of work, you can see that I activated the new website theme.  Things aren’t 100% correct, but I wanted to get some traffic onto the site to make sure links and things work.  I can sit there and look at coding and things like that all day long, but there is nothing [...]

It happens every year around this time of the year.  It is freezing cold and suddenly it gets a tad warmer.  On Saturday it was in the mid 30s and on Sunday, it was in the 40s.  Because of a day or 2 of warm weather, my mind shifts into spring mode.  I do it [...]

Temps here are on the rise, but I have to say, they aren’t the warmest. Tonight, when I went out with the cross country skate skis, it was a balmy 20 degrees out. It wasn’t so bad, but once you get flying down a hill with some sweat built up, it can get [...]

Yesterday was a big day work the workouts…  I got up early before work and headed out with the dog to do a little skate cross country skiers.  I got me some new skis and I just had to try em about.  We went out for about 40 minutes and had to call it quits [...]

After a long weekend with not a lot of physical activity, coach had me doing a quick test so we can keep track of fitness levels. It was pretty easy to do, a quick 20 minute warm up followed by 30 minutes of all out race pace with another 10ish minutes of cool down. [...]
