Fitness and other things
Run – Home to H Avenue (day 2)
Today, I stretched and went running. My knees felt a little sore, but It was a good run. My breathing was much better then yesterday when it seemed so much more labored. I thought I was holding back until the very end, where I was going add in my kick. I ran well, felt it was my best run for this little circuit, but when I processed the results, it was slightly off from yesterday. My pace was 9:21 (yesterday was 9:16). I am bummed, but, oh well.

Walking and lack of Fitness
about 6 months ago - No comments
Yesterday, I got and did a little exercise. I did 24,000 steps which includes my cycling of 22 miles. Today, I am a little sore. The wife and I went out this morning for a light walk/run. That hurt. I am so out of shape, it is embarrassing.

I managed to get out of the house and go for a ride. I left the house in the afternoon in about 80 degrees. There was no wind, but it did picked up a bit and was a good breeze. Overall, it was about 27 miles and an average speed in the 14 mph. Here
Two becomes one

Most of you have not noticed that I had two blogs, one for fitness and one for everything else. I decided to merge the two together. Middle-aged man will now contain both fitness and how I see the world items. My blog is very light on posting so it makes sense.

I walked at work and then went to church ( I work with the Freshmen guys) and when I got home at 9:00pm, I knew I had to run. So I stretched and got on the treadmill and did 1/4 mile walk warmup followed by a run for 2.0 miles total. It started at 6.0

After returning from a business trip in Orlando, Florida this last week, without a doubt I need to recommit to some level of fitness. I talked to one really nice lady, named Carol Hess, who happens to run. She has fun running marathons and has been running for a few decades. She really inspired me
Virtually Walking Across America in One Year – REACHED!

It started in January, when Tracy Whittaker and I were walking at lunch. We thought it was possible with the amount of steps we walk each day, we could sum them up to the entire distance across America. I did some calculations and its seemed like a doable goal. That would be about 16,000 steps

I wanted to run in this weekend’s for the Toys-for-tots 5K run at Lancaster City Park, but after tonight’s run, I hurt my right calf again. I was not running that hard and I do not know why it starting complaining at about the distance of 1.5 miles. I finished the run, and then walked

Today, I started to feel like I was getting a cold at work. Felt really funny, took three aspirins and I felt really good. I like to run on Tuesday nights, so I was not sure if I should. I felt fine and got out and ran. My lungs are really tight from riding in

The High Desert Cyclist had their 4th Annual Antelope Valley Fall Century. There are three rides the 26 miles, the Metric Century (62 miles), and the full Century (100 miles). Last year I wanted to ride in the century, but the weather was so bad that I rode the metric. I was told only four
