Kickin’ It Off

Last year my fitness goals were an epic failure. I've come to terms with that and am moving past it. Normally I set my goals for the upcoming year during the last couple of weeks in December and get everything lined out. This year I took a different approach. I have had an idea of …

Thoughts Become Actions

One of my favorite quotes is from Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right." Last night I was on the treadmill - Week 3, Day 1 of C210K - 90 second run/90 second walk; 3 minute run/3 minute walk; lather, rinse, repeat. I like the C210K program. It …

The Law Of Averages

I headed off to the Y last night to go to my kickboxing class. I even bought new fingerless boxing gloves so I didn't have to borrow a pair from the instructor. As luck would have it, and as often happens with my best laid plans, there was a little glitch. The class was full …

Training For Nothing

For the past two-ish years (since January 2017) I've been in a non-stop cycle of training for one thing or another. When I had the cold from Hell after my race last December and was pretty much knocked on my ass for a couple of months my workouts went right out the window. With the …
