Getting in and out of where I live has been a little more interesting the past couple of months. They did a lot of utility work on Winn Road and now are just about finished putting in the sidewalk that made all the utility (mostly for storm-sewer drains) work necessary. All that seems to be … Continue reading One sidewalk done (almost); now how about another …

Fitness Update:
Another week of modest stability on goals. 40 miles left for monthly bike goal; Ran 7 miles. This coming week I start the workout plan from the wellness center at work. See what comes of that.
Fitness Update: Tendinitis?
Well, late and short both today, I guess. I got one 5K run in this past week. No swimming (shoulder pain -- possible tendinitis). Cycling -- 53 miles. So one category is well on track. Will see how this week goes -- whether doctor and tendinitis progresses or not.
Fitness Update: On the Run
Last week I finally got back into the groove of running. I made, by three-tenths of a mile over, the bike miles for August. I also started running again. two 5k distances during the week. Both slower than six mph average. So either I was taking it way too easy, or the lack of practice … Continue reading Fitness Update: On the Run
Fitness Update: Lazy
This week's post is a lazy one. I got by bicycle miles down to 40 needed to complete the monthly quota. I swam once at Oceans of Fun; haven't gotten halfway to the goal. Need to get back to running to finish that goal for the year.
Fitness Update: Open Water Swimming
I've been doing swimming at Oceans of Fun around the Caribbean Cooler. Saturday evening was somewhat crowded. I had previously used such laps as my substitute for open water swimming practice. And Saturday was a pretty good example of it. The need of constantly trying to avoid people who aren't paying any attention to you … Continue reading Fitness Update: Open Water Swimming
Fitness Update: Lap swimming
So, this week has been another getting back up to speed. Not really. But some progress made again. The sleep hours went back up, and I started feeling better, but still ended up tired. So over the weekend I did a little more physical activity, and that seems to balance things out. I need sleep, … Continue reading Fitness Update: Lap swimming
Fitness Update: Biking in the rain
Well, a couple of things on the fitness front this week: I went to the MD doctor about the bone cramps/muscle aches in my lower and upper left leg. (At its worst, this made it painful to drive at all, as any application of the clutch in our stick shift stressed the offending area.) I … Continue reading Fitness Update: Biking in the rain
Fitness Update: Making the Miles
Well, this is the week where one month ends and another begins. I have been working on three fitness activity targets all year. Only one of them has been definitively on target -- bicycle miles. And now, with the lull in cycling due to the vacation earlier in July, I am just making the miles … Continue reading Fitness Update: Making the Miles
Fitness Update: end of vegging
Another week in the car or roaming amusement parks. The activity of the parks does not counterbalance the inactivity of the car -- not even with the occasional leisurely run factored into the mix. When I got back to the scale at the work wellness center, I found my 2.5 weeks away included a 5 … Continue reading Fitness Update: end of vegging
