I joined Gold's Gym. *collective groan* I know, they're the evil empire of 'health clubs.' Numerous friends of mine have regaled me with horror stories about their abusive, money sucking business model and their meat market layout. About the fight you ultimately have to go through to cancel your membership early, and the clause that states if you're 25 miles (or some ridiculous distance) from a

First, a week three summary: I've maintained my running distance of approximately 3.5 miles per run, and have increased the weight I'm lifting slightly. The Power 90 Sculpt 1-2 routine is pretty simple, but I enjoy it. I've also maintained the overall frequency of my workouts. I ended up taking two rest days instead of one due to a weekend trip to the mountains. On Saturday rather than run, I

I've worked out six out of the past nine days. I'm just starting to feel myself coming out of the, "What the hell are you doing to me, ramping up physical activity like this?" phase. After that I'll start entering the, "you need this to feel normal," phase. I love that phase, and I hope it gets here in full soon.As mentioned, I'm incorporating elements of Tony Horton's Power 90 and running for at

Last night I went for what could be said to be my first real, true run this fall. I really love running outside this time of year. I've noticed many people almost immediately switch to a treadmill as the temperature drops, but I think they're robbing themselves of something special. The air is so crisp and cool, and the light in the evening is almost ethereal. The lower light enables me to really

Laziness is a pretty horrible thing.I'm not saying I'm lazy, just that it's a horrible thing. A lot of wonderful things that can take the place of laziness in derailing a workout plan include the following:Video gamesBeerVideo games and beerTelevision series on DVDHot girlfriendSleepCuddlesSo, like I said, I'm not lazy. What I am is distracted. That ended yesterday (as of now). This doesn't mean

Not the place. The substance. It can be a fantastic thing. Eau de man; the Irish shower. Keeping you smelling fresh, masculine, alluring, pungent, and down right tangy. It has its place.That place is not work.Women need also take note. When navigating your bread winning day of productive social pandering, of pretend grindstone sniffing, of breaking rocks, striking keys, and collating copies, it

This post race week has been pretty great. There wasn't any feeling of having been flogged, but I've been taking it easy in the interest of a REALLY good recovery, and have been eating more delicious food than usual (read: melty cheesey sandwiches, pasta, pizza, etc.). Alcohol consumption has increased, delightedly, and the fun quotient of the week was pretty high. Not to say that there weren't

This past Sunday I completed the Napier Realtors Richmond Sprint Triathlon. What's even more awesome is I did it faster than my goal time! I can't begin to describe how amazing it feels to finish something like that. I never would have been able to do this at the beginning of the year, and that's a great thing.I can't wait until the next one!Results:400m Swim: 10:36Transition 1: 4:0220k Bike: 48:

Haha man am I a big liar! Keep this blog updated with my progress? PSCHA! Anyway, things have been progressing nicely. The bad part is my weight has plateaued ever since training began. The great part is I've become faster, stronger, and although I don't have the technology, I'd like to think I'm kicking more ass. The hardest part of this whole training thing hasn't been improving, it's been

I’ve been working out fairly consistently since the early part of this year, and have lost 18 lbs so far. That puts me at a total weight loss of 46 lbs since early spring 2006. I started at 243 lbs after my doctor was shocked at my current weight. To be honest so was I. When I started college I weight just over 200 lbs, and through my freshman year lost approximately 25. That’s a big jump from

I hate it when people start posts with, "It's been a while..."...but I'm going to try harder. Northern Virginia is the pits. This is unfair, since it entirely depends on where you live, and it's a big f'in place, but where I am right now is an expanded vomit stain of suburbia. I do like parts of Alexandria, and can say I honestly haven't explored D.C. enough to form any up to date opinion, but

I've been putting off starting this blog for quite some time. Initially I started it right when I bought my scooter, a blue Yamaha C3 for those interested, and intended to use it as a means to document my adventures in not owning a car in the city of Richmond. That was back in March. It's needless to say this fell to the wayside for various reasons, one of which is more than likely laziness,
