Thursday’s Nights Run

Teri and I got out to run about 7:00pm Thursday at Joe Walker Middle School. As we arrived, they (soccer team and coach) turned off the lights. There was enough light to see from the nearby park.
I know I wanted to run longer, so I ran the lubrication lap 400m and walked 400m. I then [...]

Saturday’s Ride – 28 Miles

Saturday’s ride was good. I set out to an average of 17.5 mph. When I uploaded my GPS data, it came in a disappointment only 16.7. Every-time I looked down I was higher then 17.5, but took a little longer to ride 110th from Avenue G to Avenue K. Here is the results on Motionbased.

Blood Pressure

Today is an exciting day. I usually get my blood pressure measured on Monday before lunch (and many other times during the week [grin]). I set a 2007 resolution to get my blood pressure to be under 120/80 and 50 or below, measured by our one of nurses at work. Today’s measurement is 118/68 and [...]

I have a plan (been using [...]

Weight Loss (or gain)

I have not been excited to post my weight loss, because it has been some gains. I have been eating too much and not walking as much as I should. I have been holding on to the same weight. I just lack the commitment to eat well. I need to find the motivation and get [...]
