  • Running a little bit faster

    Another run, just a bit faster and consistently into the 9 minute mile mark.

  • Rowing, with a Water Rower, for fun and… profit?

    Waterrower wheel

    About 2 years ago I purchased a rower (from Water Rower) because I wanted another aerobic activity in the house (we have a treadmill which I quite like running on).

    My wife used it a bit, so did I. I think the total number of sessions was less than 20.

    I decided this month that since I was going to do the ‘Tough Mudder’ (god help me) I would start running and using the rower on the off days.

    Would you know it one of wheels on the seat split in half!

    I don’t know if this is defect of the wheel or what. I’m hoping not commentary on my weight.

    Regardless, I purchased 2 new wheels from Water Rower, replaced the wheel and am off again…rowing my way to nowhere except good health I hope.

  • Caroline, do NOT go into the light

    Went for a run last night right after a big rain. It was pretty humid out and when I got to the end of the driveway I looked left and saw this. 

    I did go into the light.

    The first picture is one that was created with a filter using Instagram. The second image is the original taken with an iPhone 6.

  • Nice run through Denver, 5 miles on the Cherry Creek trail

    Did a nice run through Denver today. Ran the Cherry Creek trail.  Beautiful place to run.

  • FitBit stats for this week

    Starting to get back into the whole running thing again. Here are the latest stats. John B. was telling me that I should get used to being number 2 on the list. 

    Guess not…and I haven’t even got started. I have a triathlon to run in September.

    Look out!
