That, actually, is a headline all of us could legitimately use for every year we lived in and didn't die. The truth is, we don't know all the small and large things happening around us that brought us just the smallest distance from death, both accidental and intentional, by people's moves around us. Most of … Continue reading 2018: The Year I Almost Died

Fitness Update: long weekends and slow weeks
It is hard to detail, especially on a post, what made up my week, fitness wise. I did a lot of physical activity, but little of it organized in the workout categories that I wanted. I also had long days on the weekend -- going from work to home, and then by the time I … Continue reading Fitness Update: long weekends and slow weeks
Fitness Update: Bacon to lower cholesterol
I can remember the first cholesterol screening I had -- at least the one I was aware of receiving and given the numbers for. It was back in my 20s and I was working for The Corning Leader. My number was like 106 and the news editor Mark got a high number on his screening. … Continue reading Fitness Update: Bacon to lower cholesterol
Fitness update: no pattern
Well this week was a mixed medley of various outings. There were runs and jogs with cooling walks. There was biking with long brakes for reading. The Viking came about because I realized my legs are cramping from the unbalanced use are the muscles caused by only running and not biking. Doing more activity DID … Continue reading Fitness update: no pattern
Fitness Update: Meant for Monday
This is the behind schedule week. Had a long workday Monday and a severe headache that night -- not sure if it was a migraine -- don't know the definition. Busy work week, so missed out on bicycle and running, but got daily steps in, plus some.
Fitness Update: An actual jog
This week's fitness update is a lot about surviving the heat. I am not sure if they were record highs, but it was a hot week. Yet that didn't change the hours that I worked outside. I worked the tickets venue twice and the treasures venue once. And amazingly, the hotter of the two tickets … Continue reading Fitness Update: An actual jog
Fitness Update: When the dog breaks a toe
Well, I have had fitness obstacles from having broken bones in both hands that meant a cast on one and splint on the other for a couple of months. But I have never had my fitness held up by an injury from the dog. Rocky broke a toe on his right rear foot. That means … Continue reading Fitness Update: When the dog breaks a toe
Fitness Update: Leg not-exactly-cramps
This week was the trip to LibertyCon, which meant a hiatus in regular scheduled activities. But it didn't mean a lack of fitness attempts. I swam once, did a lot of walking, and while my sleep schedule was off kilter, managed to keep getting sleep and naps in between events to keep the energy and … Continue reading Fitness Update: Leg not-exactly-cramps
Fitness Update: Heat
We have been having some hot weather here is the Kansas City area, not enough yet to make us think the rest of the summer will be hot, but enough to expect this to be one of several spells of heat we are likely to get. In non-fitness posts I have mentioned starting gardening again … Continue reading Fitness Update: Heat
Fitness Update: Bicycle anecdote
Since I don't bicycle to work on a regular basis anymore, I don't have that part of my usual fitness regimen to keep me active. But I did get the encouragement from talking to one of y Madrigal singer friends, who has apparently taken up a similar fitness regimen -- or like me possibly also … Continue reading Fitness Update: Bicycle anecdote
