Will the snow never end?

Jon | February 22, 2009

I ran in a blizzard Wednesday night with my running buddy.  It was insane.  Wind was whipping in our faces the entire time.  The snow was blowing so hard it was going into my eyes and I couldn’t see where I was going.  Since there was only light from our headlamps, it was nearly impossible [...]

Fully Loaded!

Jon | February 20, 2009

I have two bars today from Hebert’s.  The Rocky Road and the Cookies and Cream bars.
I found these two bars in Massachusetts when I was heading to Cape Cod.  The packing is more like a “sports nutrition bar” than a chocolate bar.  Especially since it is completely sealed and not wrapped in paper with foil [...]

Mistaken identity

Jon | February 14, 2009

I have several email accounts.  Some for work.  Some for the blog.  Some for web games.  Some for spam.  And some for completely legal online hijinks (is that how you spell that?).
Some of these accounts use my real name, some use an obvious abbreviation, and still others use a name completely different from my real [...]

7 miles, 7 miles

Jon | February 12, 2009

We ran 7 miles at the park last night.  I was just dead tired.  I hope I’m not coming down with something.  There’s a small tickle in the back of my throat, and I’ve been outrageously hungry the past day or two.  Not like munchy, but stomach-is-growling-an-hour-after-lunch kind of hungry.  Just crazy.
We ran another 7 [...]

100 pushup challenge

Jon | February 10, 2009

I started doing the 100 pushup challenge.  I read about it on someone else’s blog (can’t remember whose).  Basically, you are training yourself up to 100 pushups at a time.  Three workouts a weeks, 6 sets of pushups for each workout, which lasts about 10 minutes total.
Too be honest, I’m not sure what the point [...]

Polar Cap 4 Mile

Jon | February 9, 2009

I ran the Polar Cap 4 Mile race in Lake George on Saturday with a couple running friends.  Incredibly warm day.  It was kinda windy too, but we had some sun and it was about 20F at the start of the race.  And the start of the race itself, was a bit informal.  I never [...]

12 miles

Jon | February 1, 2009

My running buddy and I ran 12 at Saratoga today.  That’s the fathest she’s ever ran.  I am very proud of her.  :)  Right now she’s probably watching the superbowl and eat a moutain of pizza.  Ah, she earned it.
I decided to bring the weights up from the basement tonight.  They aren’t building muscles downstairs [...]
