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

Chiming in …
I've been living life, some of which will come up in Monday's fitness blog, but haven't spent time chronicling it, so instead today, before I run out of day without posting anything, I've decided to throw up an older video clip from a Easter service several years ago.

Food — With a Lack of Personality
Today I want to discuss a feature of the food plan at Worlds of Fun that has been overlooked this year. For the previous two years, the foods section of WOF has had a face and a personality: Kevin Williams, executive chef. He gave color and was a presence at the BBQ & Brew Festival, … Continue reading Food — With a Lack of Personality
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
