Being Good

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

He sees you when you’re sleeping.
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows when you’ve been bad or good,
So be good, for goodness’ sake.
I’m being good this Christmas (so far). I was going to find a pool yesterday and swim. I wimped out on that, but I did a yoga DVD last night. On top of that [...]

Yoga

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

A while back I started doing yoga. One of the benefits of working where I do is that there is a free yoga class twice a week. The class is usually small (5 people or so), and our instructor is excellent. I really couldn’t ask for a better setup.
Our class starts with a warm-up, then [...]

Great Swim

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

I had an excellent swim yesterday, which has me quite excited. When I started
swimming about 6 weeks ago I hadn’t swum in forever, and had never really
managed any freestyle. I could swim about 20 yards of freestyle consistently,
and had a lot of trouble breathing in water. Breathing in water still really
sucks, but I do it [...]

The Entry That Almost Wasn’t

fun to have a blog. I’ve been reading a lot of them (most the ones linked by
Tri-Geek Dreams) and the idea
appeals to me. Plus, I figured it’d improve my writing some, and it would give
me something to read a few years [...]

Sick

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Being sick can really mess with your training plan. Yesterday an upset stomach
kept me in bed or in front of the TV for most of the day. Yesterday was my run
day, which I really can’t skip. When you’re only running once a week, skipping
that one run means skipping 100% of work-outs. Lucky for me, I [...]

Biking Safely

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

An friend pointed me to a site with some very graphic
pictures (really, don’t click if you have a weak stomach), telling me to
be sure to wear a helmet when I bike. I always wear a helmet, but it got me
thinking about one of my pet peeves.
When I’m out on the street around here, I see [...]
