40 Minute Crosstrain: Bike
Who: Alone
What: 40 Minute Crosstrain: Bike
Where: Struble and Uwchlan trails
First garmin workout with the bike. It worked great as a bike computer, especially with the footpod for cadence. I may remove the heart rate portion of the workout monitor thing so I can actually see the cadence, because as [...]
Happy Birthday Baku!
Four years? That doesn’t seem right. Once you fit in a bag just like this one to be given to Ali on her birthday:

4 Mile Recovery Run
Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Recovery Run
Where: Neighborhood. A really spastic series of circles. Thanks, Garmin!
I intentionally kept this one slow and easy. “Each run has a purpose,” says my coach. So… I consciously made myself slooow down.
The run abounded with annoyances. I couldn’t get the footpod to [...]
Congratulations to the City of Philadelphia
Last night, the Phillies won the world series. The first championship in a major sport in 25 years for the town of Philadelphia. The first time since 1980 that the Phillies themselves won a championship.
For a town that takes their sports so very seriously, they needed to break that drought. This town [...]
6×400 Repeats (Speed Workout)
Who: Alone
What: 1 Minute Warmup - 6×400 Repeats - 400 Cooldown - 1 Minute Cooldown
Where: Neighborhood
Cold and dark. Dressed in a coldgear longsleeve and shorts and wore gloves, so my gear was… all confused. But I think it was about right for the temperature - low 40s.
Pretty happy with my [...]
War. War Never Changes.
I subscribe to Gamefly. I like being able to receive console games and play them for a minute (Infinite Undiscovery - truly a horrible beginning and my time is too valuable for that drivel) or for hours (Soul Caliber IV - punch kick bite throw win!) or even buy them directly (Final Fantasy Tactics [...]
3.5 Mile Run
Who: Ali
What: 3.5 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Treadmills
Back on the treadmills for the first time since… well… probably early spring. Here’s the thing about treadmills now. Man, do I get bored on treadmills.
That combined with the fact that I’m running my First Ever Official 5k this weekend made me… well… [...]
Hey Look - New Theme
Going for something simpler. Also, I think the previous theme was giving some people some speed and responsiveness problems.
How’s this one look?
(I also updated the theme over on livejournal. But livejournal is just there to tell you how to get away from there. And come here!)
Weights
Who: Ali
What: Weights Workout
Where: Planet Fitness
Ali and I went over to the gym to do arms and core. I like that my membership means unlimited guest privileges. Two for one!
Nothing else really to note. I’m just checkin’ off the box.
6 Mile Run
Who: Team Challenge
What: 6 Mile Run
Where: Doylestown
Challenging run. Started waaaay too fast and then of course had a crash about halfway through. Finished strong though. We didn’t have a huge turnout due to weather, and I was the only one that did the intermediate. On the upside, that [...]
