Feeling The Pressure

by Ron February 11, 2010

An excerpt from www.RonBarker.ca It was 2007 when it first started. I remember standing up only to have the vision in my right eye temporarily blinded. I thought it was a one off situation and thought nothing of it. Soon it happened again. Then again once more. After a while it became pretty frequent but [...]

Getting Back The Groove?

by Ron February 9, 2010

An excerpt from www.RonBarker.ca: It’s been a long time since I’ve done any form of exercise. Since my gym membership has disappeared, I began to walk obscene amounts for hours at a time. That was well and good until winter came around and froze my motivation. Walking for a few hours in ungodly cold just [...]

From the All Things Ron Newsteam… it’s a Weekend Update

by Ron February 6, 2010

An excerpt from www.RonBarker.ca: In Local News… My mood has been surprisingly good despite no recent changes. I haven’t gone out of my way to do anything different. So… here’s hoping that keeps up? Right now I’m partaking in one of my favourite pastimes and that’s just blasting music and singing along as badly as [...]

I’ve Got The Prison Blues

by Ron January 24, 2010

Here is an excerpt from the entry “I’ve Got The Prison Blues”: With my social life crumbling and my unemployment continuing, I often feel as if I’m stuck in an invisible prison. With no money, I can’t afford to go to the gym and as a result, I can see that I’m gaining weight. I’m [...]

265andfalling Marathon Challenge: Update 3

by Ron December 6, 2009

The last few days have been rather chaotic for me from an emotional standpoint. Without getting into it (because it’s not really anyone’s business), let’s just say that I’ve felt a little too distracted to get any walking done. There was even a point when I considered my time in this challenge done because my [...]

265andfalling Marathon Challenge: Update #2

by Ron December 3, 2009

Luckily the rain has seemingly stopped. It’s nothing but a sky of grey clouds which don’t appear to be menacing at all. When I got home last night from my walk, I was exhausted. My ankles were sore and my right hamstring has been feeling a little tight since the walk home from the scrapyard [...]

265andfalling Marathon Challenge: Update #1

by Ron December 2, 2009

It looks like rain outside. That’s rather disappointing considering I almost feel like doing another lap. Due to some construction, my route was altered a little bit. Despite what looks on Google Maps to be a lengthier trip, apparently I’ve lost a little bit of distance. Probably because it doesn’t wind as much. *shrugs* Regardless, [...]

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 [...]
