Marathon Week Challenge: We be runnin’ y’all!!

by Steve265 November 25, 2009

Once upon a time, I challenged myself to walk/jog/run 15 miles in a week.  I did it. Mission Accomplished.  Woot, woot, bla, bla, bla… Anyway…since then I have kind of caught the running bug, to the point where I am going to sign up for the Baltimore Marathon next October.  I would have signed up [...]

I was RUNNIN’!

by Steve265 November 19, 2009

A few weeks ago, I started using the treadmill.  I wanted a change of pace and I needed to switch up my cardio a bit from the ARC Trainer.  I won’t lie, it sucked, but I stuck with it… …this past week, I completed 15 miles on it… …yesterday, I completed a mile in 10:13 [...]

Cardio & Chlorine

by Ron November 19, 2009

It has been months since I’ve had a workout like last night. Sure, I’ve been able to work up a sweat just as intense… but that workout? That was the kind of workout I missed having! I don’t know whether or not it’s the endorphins or the worn out body that lets me feel as [...]

The Interview, The Gym, and Anxietyland

by Ron November 18, 2009

Monday was the big day. Without revealing TOO much about the company, it’s one of Canada’s larger companies that just made a few billion dollars last quarter despite it being a very crappy economy. Yeah… billions. With a B. The position itself is an 18 month internship which will have me performing at all levels [...]

Status Report: Week 6

The secret to inspiration

by Chris November 16, 2009

I say this a lot, but it’s a tough journey. And over the past few weeks I’ve come to realize once again what an incredible journey it has been. I’ve been taking some time to reflect on the past 20 months and continue to reaffirm the fact that even though weight loss takes a lot [...]

Sleepless Setback

by Ron November 15, 2009

I really wanted to go to the gym this morning. I had my alarm set for 8.30am so I could fit in a great workout before continuing on with my day and getting other things done. However, I’m thinking a Red Bull in the afternoon/evening may have caused some kind of caffeine overload in my [...]
