(Note: Another week of writing progress as the week goes on.) Monday: Wife opened at work, so I got up when she left, ran a 5K, biked to YMCA, swam 1,000 yards, and biked to work. At end of work day I completed week 8 (final week) of the triathlon training challenge at the work … Continue reading Fitness Update: tempo continues

Fitness Update: More Personal Milestones
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: 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
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: 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:Sleep Tracking
This week's fitness tracking will have all the usual stats and corresponding observations, along with one new revelation. It will also talk about the sleep tracking portion of the Misfit Shine app. So first I want to talk about the sleep tracking app. The first night I used the Misfit it told me I had … Continue reading Fitness Update:Sleep Tracking
fitness update: app issues
Well I am continuing to enjoy my Misfit Shine, but the app still does things that irritate me from time to time. I finally learned that I can change tagging activities without having to double sync, but I have to toggle screens and see the "saved changes" message or else it hasn't worked. My lap … Continue reading fitness update: app issues
Fitness Update: Warm weather helps
Well, today is the end of February; two months of 2016 gone already. My concerns at the beginning of the year were keeping up with my running, and how the cold weather would hamper my progress. Well, this week was another nice week (sure there were some nights below freezing, but all the days were … Continue reading Fitness Update: Warm weather helps
Fitness Update: taking advantage of a warm February
Last week was a warm week for February -- some might say unseasonably warm for Missouri -- though when you look at the stats, we may get more weather like this in February than we remember. It just isn't something you can count on. That said, a lot of people got out to exercise and … Continue reading Fitness Update: taking advantage of a warm February
Fi tness Update: Tech vs. Flesh
Well, in my last fitness post I mentioned that I was happy about my Misfit Shine finally recording my laps swum. No such luck last week. Both times I swam it didn't count the laps. I'm not sure exactly what settings caused this. But I also learned that the Speedo Fit app that I could … Continue reading Fi tness Update: Tech vs. Flesh
