My wife has an MD appointment today so I’m home from work to watch the munchkin. I did my run this morning at the park because my son has cub scouts tonight so no gym time available. I was very proud of myself for getting out there by 7:30 after being up so late last [...]

While I was stretching by the truck after my run, I noticed alot more steam in the air than could be coming from my breathing. I looked in the window reflection and saw that my whole body was steaming. It looked like I was on fire! I did my long run this AM at the [...]

I dropped my cell phone in the urinal. I had it hooked in my belt loop and as I stood there, it slipped off and fell in. I didn’t know what to do. At first I thought I’d just leave it there. But, hey, its my damn cell phone and I’m not leaving it in [...]

Since Fridays are rest days, I decided to post about chocolate on those days. Today’s topic is about how to make chocolate truffles. My favorite chocolate treat! They are relatively easy to make compared with alot of other types of candy, despite their very elegant and fancy appearance. My best recipe is stolen from Godiva. [...]

Say a prayer for Zoot who has Ivan passing over her house right now. Hopefully Ivan has quieted down some and doesn’t have the same punch as what hit the coast earlier. Her last report said the power was out and the hurricane hadn’t even reached them yet. Keep your head down, Zoot. Got a [...]

There’s a race in Hell, MI on the same day as the Detroit 1/2. The Hell-o-ween! I was just telling Lily, that if everyone is running in the Detroit 1/2, then I’ll be the only one there and destined to win my age group! Now all I need is a cool costume…Chris?

They closed the registration for the Detroit 1/2 marathon Tuesday. Missed it by two days. Oh well.

I did 60 minutes of cardio tonight. 20 bike, 20 stepmill, 20 stepper. I also did upper body weights for the first time in about a month. Boy did those muscles fall apart. Everything dropped by 10 pounds. It may take another 2 sessions to bring them back up to speed again. I’ve decided to [...]

I’m leaving for the gym in an hour. We recently received some very ominous news from the CEO about “structural changes” to sustain our business. Big drops in the stock price, junk debt ratings, and bad reviews from Wall Street put us in a very bad light. Not alot of people out there seem very [...]

It feels good to get back to the weights again. Two weeks away from lower body and even longer for upper body. I’m a sludge. Fortunately, the legs didn’t deteriorate at all. Same weight and the same (or more) reps. Usually things start to fall off at this point. Maybe I’m doing something right :) [...]
