I spoke too soon
Well, I jinxed myself. After crowing about the terrific snow we’ve had, this week was warm, sunny, and had sufficient rain that most of the snow is now gone. Me and my big mouth. On the other hand, that means there is plenty of dry pavement and thus I can run outside. Between a busy […]

Flat weight, faster feet
Sometimes weight plateaus and sometimes fitness plateaus. While my weight didn’t budge this week after making progress the past two, my running speed increased by leaps and bounds. On Sunday Su and I ran 10k in 57:20 on a hot and humid afternoon. My previous best time this year was 1:00:00 on June 29. On […]

National Fall Off the Floor Week
Did you get the memo that last week was National Fall Off the Floor Week? If you had been reading Martina Navratilova’s book you would have known this. Su and I have been progressing through the workouts and while they have occasionally taxed us, they haven’t been all too difficult either in strength or agility […]
