So, the advice my doctor gave me a few years ago, that I asked to get in writing, but which he refused to provide, is now backed up by research - the scientific kind even. Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer.
Which brings us to my new T-Shirt design, ready to spread the good word, and [...]

32° the dashboard said at 8:something in the morning as we headed out to join with 3000+ other runners and walkers to enjoy the tradition of a 5 mile trot on Thanksgiving day.

Charlie and my brother Bill were there to support me and try to keep warm while waiting for me to cross the finish [...]

This race seems to be one of my better races - last year I had a new PR at 27 minutes even. This year, after I ran the Race for Hope at 30:14 three weeks ago, I decided I needed to get serious about training. I’ve been running on the treadmills at work [...]

Ran the Race for Hope 5k at Griggs Reservoir this morning. Ran this race last year for the first time, and since it’s literally across the river from my house, I felt a little obligated to run it this year. I had signed up for it months ago, but haven’t run hardly at [...]

Charlie and I went out for a ride today - 25+ miles - it rained about halfway through the ride. The rain was cooling and didn’t last that long. Charlie did great as he’s still recovering from his motorcycle accident.

25 mile bike ride yesterday, two hour kayak excursion this morning, think I’ve got a repetitive use injury now. My right elbow joint is painful from paddling. Looking for a rack for my Saab so I can haul my bike to other bike trails to go for a ride, see some different scenery, [...]

It was cold, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected, I dressed warmly, and got slightly overheated a couple times.

Oh, the weather outside was frightful, and the rain was not delightful…. but I ran and I ran, and I collided with the rain drops, I don’t think I missed a single one of them. And I smiled, every time I knew a camera was pointed in my direction, since in many of my [...]

Ran the Race for Hope this morning, the race is a fundraiser for cancer research and is a memorial race for a woman that died two years ago from cancer. I just found out a couple weeks ago that a guy at work has cancer, and it doesn’t sound like he’s doing too well. [...]

Rainy day to run, but there I was standing in the rain with a couple hundred other runners waiting for the race to begin, and all in all, it was pretty miserable

… but I ended up bettering my time by about a minute over last year. Not what I was wanting, but I’ll take [...]

After Apple’s iTunes added Podcasts, I found a few that I wanted to listen to and see if they would be of interest. One that I started listening to was the RunCast Weekly. Since I was just getting back into running after having dropped off from it for several months.The first episode I [...]

Today was a beautiful day for a run, and I had a great first mile .. 8:35, it went downhill from there, and I finished around the same times I’ve been doing in the previous 5K races I’ve run - a little more than 29 minutes. My goal for next year’s races is 25 [...]

It was brisk this morning, my nipples are sore, Charlie’s hands froze waiting for me to finish the race … but he was able to get some action shots ;) Thanks again for supporting me and enduring the elements this morning Honey!!
Unfortunately, the battery in his camera wasn’t fully charged, but he was able to [...]

I DID IT!
Yesterday morning I ran my first 5K. Pictures and a mini movie will be posted sometime tonight or tomorrow.
The experience was great, the day was beautiful, and the course was very nice, and I peformed better than I had hoped for. I must have been keeping pace with faster runners.

Yeah! Going to pick up my new glasses … actually they’re not new, but the lenses are new, and I haven’t worn these frames for over a year.Ran today for the first time in a long time, paused for a minute after a mile, had a drink of water, and rested, then started running again, [...]

We Will We Will ROCK YOU!Between last night and today, I’ve been listening to some classic Queen … read the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody last night for the first time, and found it quite interesting … but just a few minutes ago, had a ball listening to We Will Rock You, really loudly on my [...]
