So this past week was a very leisurely week, and yet full and not necessarily resting. Going from LibertyCon to King's Dominion, to a family reunion in Buffalo, to Canada's Wonderland to Michigan's Adventure, involves a lot of sitting in a car, and a lot of walking around the parks. But it doesn't get in … Continue reading Fitness Update: leisurely pace

Fitness Update: Swim Meet/Tug-of-War
This past week I didn't have any specific fitness activities: swimming, running, cycling -- that was part of my previous planned regimen. I took vacation for the Kansas City Corporate Challenge Swim meet. I cycled up to the Gladstone community center each evening, and came back afterwards -- 11 miles round trip. I swam very … Continue reading Fitness Update: Swim Meet/Tug-of-War
Fitness Update: Kansas City Corporate Challenge Triathlon
Yesterday was the Kansas City Corporate Challenge Triathlon. We had a lot of rain the night before, and the night before that. We almost wondered if it might be canceled. But it wasn't. The day dawned cool and damp. They modified the route. The bicycles went backwards upon their course, and the running was at … Continue reading Fitness Update: Kansas City Corporate Challenge Triathlon
Fitness Update: Track Meet
Today's update on fitness is about the KCCC track meet. That's most of what I did last week fitness-wise. I was scheduled for one night, the mile run on Tuesday. By the time the event attrition got done, I had run the 400 on Monday and the 100 on Wednesday as well. The track meet … Continue reading Fitness Update: Track Meet
Fitness Update: or lack thereof
Today's post is late because I've been feeling both off and lazy from the fitness perspective. Muscles fatigued with no exertion to explain. Sinus switch from weather switch. So I didn't do much fitness workouts last week. The weekend was getting as much rest as possible. Which seemed to do some good, though not complete … Continue reading Fitness Update: or lack thereof
Fitness Update: Midway Point
What do I mean by midway point? I mean I have gotten through the first couple of races in the Kansas City Corporate Challenge -- the 5K and the (modified) half marathon -- and have one event at the track meet (don't know which one yet), the triathlon and swim meet yet. Before the Corporate … Continue reading Fitness Update: Midway Point
Fitness Update: (Modified) Half Marathon
Well, This past week I ran my second half marathon, sort of, but sort of didn't. The Kansas City Corporate Challenge half marathon was scheduled for this past Saturday. The route started at the Southcreek Business Park and after a loop around there ran down through the Overland Park Community Park and the Tomahawk Valley … Continue reading Fitness Update: (Modified) Half Marathon
Fitness Update: between half-marathons
Last week was the week before the week of the Kansas City Corporate Challenge half marathon. It is the second half-marathon I am doing, four weeks after the first. I have been trying to get guidance on how to stay in condition from hone half-marathon to the other. The basic guidance I have received is … Continue reading Fitness Update: between half-marathons
Fitness Update: Corporate Challenge 5K
Last week reached its fitness culmination on Saturday morning at the Kansas City Corporate Challenge 5K. After completing the Progress Series of races, which included the Cupid 5K in Febrary with a time of just over 24 minutes, I went into the 5K with the intention of finishing in 24 minutes, yet feeling that I … Continue reading Fitness Update: Corporate Challenge 5K
A Look Ahead …
This past weekend, along with the next two weekends, is the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun. So I've chosen a look back, at last year's festival, as a way to look forward to this year's. This coming Saturday, like when I posted about last year's festival, is also the Kansas City Corporate … Continue reading A Look Ahead …
