Light posting and a couple notes.

September 29, 2009

Things are going to be quiet around here this week – family is in town the for wedding and I have a fiancee with a very sick grandmother. I’ll keep up with the training reports, but that will likely be it around here.  I might link around to some other articles I’d like to push [...]

Training Targets – Week 3

September 28, 2009

And, Training Report, Day 11 – 9/28.
Despite my lack of weight lost over the previous week, I refuse to get discouraged. Today had a good reason for that, as my weight circuit required noticably higher weights to achieve the same level of fatigue.  I also moved my running intervals this week from the treadmill to [...]

Quality over Quantity.

September 25, 2009

As I was running today, I was reflecting on all the things I want to accomplish professionally. I was especially thinking about my time management and the methods I use to get work done.
With my wedding coming up in 8 days, I found I was getting worried about getting behind and not getting “enough” done. [...]

Training Day 10 – 9/25

September 25, 2009

Today, in keeping with my decision to start having a “longer” run at the end of each week, I skipped the C25K Program completely, and did a 10 minute interval followed by a 3 minute interval, followed by 2 90 second intervals.  The last two intervals were about 10% faster than I’ve been running them [...]

10 Things I’m Thinking Right Now.

September 24, 2009

As opposed to pushing all these different ideas into a bunch of jumbled blog posts, I figured I’d follow the tried and true method of the “10 Things” list.
1) All the evidence you need of the root of our health care crisis is visible on my way to the gym every morning – there are [...]

Training Day 9 – 9/24

September 24, 2009

Today was pretty straightforward and boring – 45 minutes on the elliptical…yee-hah!
Basically, this day is just to let my body recover a little, burn some calories, and get my heart rate up.  Tomorrow is another run/weight circuit, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I as a little stiff and creaky getting out of [...]

Freedom from Fear of Failure

September 23, 2009

A few days ago, I blogged a bit about how perfectionism ruined everything. I wanted to take that one step further and think more about why that project didn’t go off as planned – and, on a higher level, why many projects die on the vine.
And, I think I have it figured out – Fear [...]

Training Day 7 – 9/23

September 23, 2009

Wow – day 7 already? That’s nuts. Anyway.
Today was C25K W2D1 – which was, again, 90 second intervals followed by 2 minutes of walking.  I made the last interval (#6) 5 minute interval, and increased the speed every 30 seconds for the last two minutes.  This is part of my theory that, while I’m able [...]

Training day 6 – 9/22

September 22, 2009

Ok – I’m taking suggestions for getting out of bed pre-7am. Because today is the second day in a row that I ended up sleeping in a bit, which just pushes my whole day back.
I suppose I should just be thankful that I’m able to absorb alterations in my schedule without any real problems and [...]

Training Day 6 – 9/21

September 21, 2009

I need someone to explain to my why I can’t get out of bed before 7.  Even if I do, I sit in front of the computer until waiting to go to the gym. Not that it really matters, but I’d like to be back in the office before 9 after a workout.
Anyway – on [...]
