I mentioned on January 1, New Year's Day, that I would give a more fitness updates and goals for 2018. Yet now that I am here, I think I am actually more devoid of goals than I was last year. As I look back on 2017, I had three primary fitness metrics: cycling, running, swimming. … Continue reading Fitness update: relaxed

New Year’s Cleaning
They Say New Year's is a time for resolutions. And Monday is supposed to be my fitness update. Both of which might get some mention today. Both of which, from the Fitness perspective, will get more detail next Monday. But today, I'm going to talk about New Year's as a time for cleaning. There are … Continue reading New Year’s Cleaning
Fitness Update: Mile sprints
My first race of 2018 is coming up in a very short time: the PR Mile on Jan. 13. So this past week I got out and did a couple of faster mile runs. If I want to beat my last year's speed of 6:51 I will have to keep pushing, as I was running … Continue reading Fitness Update: Mile sprints
Fitness Update: Google maps
Today I am going to detour my fitness update onto Google Maps. It seems that Google Maps doesn't have my best health in mind when giving me a biking route through North Kansas City. It takes me in Eastbound on Armour Road, but then turns south on Howell Street to Railroad Ave and 10th Avenue. … Continue reading Fitness Update: Google maps
Fitness Update: sparse
55 miles biked. No swimming. No running. Need to start practicing my running. Need to get a mile in under 6:51 before the January PR mile.
Fitness Update
This past week was a rest week. I did the requisite biking for commuting, but other than that, I pretty much slept until time to get up for work, and went to bed early. My sleep numbers looked good. I did finally feel rested about Saturday, when the work week was done -- go figure. … Continue reading Fitness Update
Fitness Update: dangers of fitness
Another 70 miles this past week finished the October cycling mileage quota. One run: a 5-mile back and forth on the Cliff Byway during a cool early morning. One run-in with the side-view mirror of a delivery van. Wednesday I turned the corner on a yellow light, he went through the light when his light … Continue reading Fitness Update: dangers of fitness
Fitness Update:
Heading into fall and getting a bit of a different focus. Keeping up with the bicycle miles seems to be the key goal from the beginning of the year. I put in 59 miles this week. Running, I'm at least keeping in the game again: one 5k run. On the strength training I stayed on … Continue reading Fitness Update:
Fitness Update: On the Run
Well this past week I got on the run with two 5K distances. My total run for the years is now 275 miles of the 500 miles I had set for a target. Don't think I'll run enough for 500 miles, but expect to get past last years 300 miles run. I also put in … Continue reading Fitness Update: On the Run
Fitness Update: One Target on track
Well, last week I got one thing done fitness wise: I completed my bicycle miles for the month. I also started my upper body strength program (weights) at the Wellness Center at work. That program is a six-week improvement plan. Will see how that goes. Another short status update. Still trying to get momentum on … Continue reading Fitness Update: One Target on track
