Last week hasn't been the most intense week for my fitness efforts. I mean, I slept in two of my days that I usually get up and do something -- just because my greatest deficit was sleep, and eventually you just have to take it if you want to stay fit. I did do a … Continue reading Fitness Update: too much at once

Fitness Update: Running and Racing
Once again, this week's update will be a day-to-day progression Monday: Started the day with a 12-mile run on the Line Creek Trail. My last long run on the Line Creek was 13.2 miles at 2 hours. Today's run was 12 miles a 1:57:42. I knew going in that I was running a little slower. The … Continue reading Fitness Update: Running and Racing
Fitness Update: tempo continues
(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
