Fitness and other things
Run – Avenue H
Tonight I wanted again to run from the house to Avenue H. I ran this path last Saturday and Sunday. Teri wanted to run at Joe Walker Middle School. I am not a big fan of running in circles. I won out, we will run done the street. I eat 1-1/2 hour before and we set out around 9:00pm. I warmed up on the treadmill and did some stretching. Teri did not want to run by herself. She does not like me running in front of her. So, I gave her a four minute head start. I set my timer on my watch and turned on the GPS and started to run. I felt pretty good and I did not pass Teri but finished behind her by about 100 feet. So the four minute head start is about right.
I ran at 9:04 pace, my best ever on this route. I am still looking to beat the nine minute pace.

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

As you know, this blog is about a middle-aged-man trying to get fit. Yesterday, Teri emailed me at work and asked if I would grill some steaks and could we could go running after dinner. I said, “sure”. So, after our meal, my youngest joined us (this never happens) for a short run. We planned
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
