And by milestones, I mean that literally, as well as figuratively. Though I may actually mean mile-markers along the running trail. This week started out with the usual commuting to work, recovering from the past's weeks physical examination. I kept my activity points up by the usual bicycling commute, and then had the accident incident … Continue reading Fitness Update: More Personal Milestones

Fitness Update: Workouts and Procedures
Well, first I'll give an update on the previous week. When I found out my time from the KCCC 5K, I was rather pleased. I was 3 seconds over 26 minutes. It was my running speed for a 5K, practice or otherwise. So I followed Monday with another practice 5K, at what turned out to … Continue reading Fitness Update: Workouts and Procedures
Fitness Update: 11 miles and a competitive 5K
For today's post I decided last week to follow through on another of my goals: write down my fitness observations as I exercised throughout the week, instead of trying to remember when I am trying to get it ready for publication on Sunday evening. So here goes: Monday -- I'd call this another one of … Continue reading Fitness Update: 11 miles and a competitive 5K
KCCC 5K
Here's three connected shots of me running in the 5K today. Don't know my official time yet until the website updates. But yo u can see the sea of people that run in the KCCC. I'm there near the beginning of the first two clips (right after the start, and coming of the first corner), … Continue reading KCCC 5K
Fitness Update: continuing record-setting
Once again I set a new daily record with my Misfit Shine. Running longer distances really racks up the points. Last week I ran a 10-mile loop on Friday, followed by a small bike ride to the community center for one of two weekly swims that I did this week. While running last week I … Continue reading Fitness Update: continuing record-setting
Fitness Update: Extending the run
This week set another point goal for the Misfit Shine. As long as I keep increasing my training for the potential half-marathon, that day of the week sets another record. This week I went up to 8.5 miles. I continued to keep up with the same pace of 6 mph that I have set for … Continue reading Fitness Update: Extending the run
Fitness Update: end of streak
Well, this week I ended an 82-day streak of meeting my 1500 point daily goal on my Misfit app. The interesting thing was Friday broke the streak. I made it out to the Kansas City Corporate Challenge kick-off walk, but that was about all the exercise I got that day between working from home and … Continue reading Fitness Update: end of streak
Fitness Update: Triathlon practices
This week I set two new personal records on my Misfit Shine. This means my combined activity for the day set a new record for total points earned. Part of that activity was a mini-triathlon at work on Monday. As part of a program at the Wellness Center I rowed 2000 meters, biked 8 miles … Continue reading Fitness Update: Triathlon practices
Any minor adversity is bearable if it yields a good story ….
This week I went to the NKC YMCA twice in the morning to swim. In fact, when I arrived right before opening on Wednesday there were a lot of trucks outside, workingman trucks, which made me wonder if perhaps the place was closed. I joined the line of people waiting. When they opened the doors, … Continue reading Any minor adversity is bearable if it yields a good story ….
Fitness update: battery indicator error
This week I updated the battery on my MisFit Shine. The battery indicator on the app always seems to bounce all over the place: full, high, medium, low. But this week it went to very low, and when syncing brought up a video about how to change the battery. It also said the battery was … Continue reading Fitness update: battery indicator error
