Wednesday. Another bad day to run

Not much to report today. i ran. The best part of the exercise was realizing that I was successful in getting out of bed, and that I did in fact run. Ran again for about 2 1/2 miles and again took it easy. The scale afterwards said 234 lbs. I ...

I hate running… Why am I doing this?

There is little doubt that I abhor running. I'm a big guy (236 lbs.) and have never been fast. Only once or twice in my life have I ever been even remotely successful at running, and at my peak I ran a 10k in just under an hour. Not very ...

I'm ready to be healthy. I'm also ready to not gain a pound or two a year-which has added up. I'm ready to lose some fat, continue to build a little muscle, feel better, look better, and write about the whole process. I hope that something in these pages can motivate you, too. Leave comments and let me know your thoughts.

Getting beyond 30 second training intervals

Since I've been riding on the exercise bike, I've been doing 60 second intervals. Yesterday I did 10. The way the program on this bike works, there are 60-second intervals followed by 60-second rest periods. They alternate every 60 seconds right from the beginning, but increasing in difficulty before slowly ...

HIIT Training on an exercise bike

After battling shin splints for too long, I've taken the search for alternative ways to do HIIT lately, especially at the gym. I can do it on an eliptical machine, but I really hate them, and I feel like a complete freak while doing it, so last week I ...

Quick check in: Running still sucks.

So, it'd been a while since I strapped on the sneakers and went for a run. I've been bad. Period. But not as bad as running is. I still can't stand it. My legs hurt today, but more of a slow, ache. I know I'm just not used to asking that ...
