Waisted Time? 1 UP, 3 DOWN (Kind of sounds like an end of an inning.)

Why have I been trying to lose weight by myself all of this time? What a waste of time for me to go alone. This past week I have learned the lesson of the importance of community. Thank you for all of the replies of advice and encouragement. Janet great to hear from you. I am a far cry from our Ascent days (don't look at me I am hideous).


I will compile all of the advice I have received and point out which habits…

Burn Out Tonight…

I had over 2000 miles in my legs by October of 2009. Maybe not a lot of miles by some standards, but for me it was plenty. I had spent the first 1000 miles getting ready to ride the Kokopelli Trail in April, 2009. I rode Falcon Trail a lot - it’s my lunch time ride. I rode Palmer Park. I rode bike paths to get to Palmer Park. I rode bike paths to get to other bike paths.



During that year I rode a lot with a buddy who rode a single speed 29er.…

Runner's World article on making the switch to an organic diet

By Kelly Bastone, Runner's World

Head to the grocery store these days, and almost everything on your shopping list has an organic equivalent. And not just strawberries and

spinach. You can buy organic cereal, soup, chicken, string cheese, and

yes, even organic hot dogs. Since 2002, when farmers and manufacturers

were expected to fully comply with the organic standards set by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, the availability of organic products… Continue

I Can No Longer Weight



Ok, it is no secret that I am fat. As a matter of fact, I have become more man than my wife originally married. I didn't realize that the ring around my finger would eventually be joined by the ring around my waist. I went from a sub 20-minute 5k runner before marriage to a sub 20-minute miler 20 years later.

Let's face it. I am too chubby to boogie. I'd like to boogie but I am much too fat. I am tired of saying excuse me, large belly…
