Phase II

Saturday, den 10. May 2008

So I had almost forgotten that I had set a self-milestone of 200lbs to start the second phase of The Mad Experiment: building muscle.
Phase II began last night on my floor:
- 30 crunches
- 40 knee-pushups
It’s a tiny start, but it’s a start. We’ll see how it goes.

ten and two hundred

Wednesday, den 7. May 2008

Oh. I didn’t see you there. Hello.
Notable Milestones in The Mad Experiment:
- 200.0 lbs
- 10:00 mile (12:28 overall average for the run, 2.5 miles)
I’ve come to realize I need more than one pair of running shorts. That should keep me occupied for about twenty minutes this weekend.

The Cruise Vacation

Monday, den 28. April 2008

I’ve posted some photos of my family’s recent cruise vacation to Mexico here. It was really fun, and I got a bit of a sunburn. Now I’m molting. Teach me to use spray-on sunblock.
Anyway, the ship was pretty cool, and I got a good workout with all the stairs and walking.
I started back to the […]

The Shoes

Friday, den 21. March 2008

I have new shoes. My parents were kind enough to buy me a pair of Nike Air Turbulence+ (12) running shoes (thanks!), and I think I’m going to like them. I’m looking forward to having a place to put the Nike+ sensor (instead of in the little velcro thing I have now). My speed readings […]

Start Weight: 228lbs (sans vĂȘtements)
General Plan of the Work: Neighborhood Jog / Gym Cardio three times a week, sometimes […]

my auto-ma-car broke

Tuesday, den 11. September 2007

So I don’t know what it is about today. I’m not a superstitious person, in fact I tend to make fun of such people. But today was one of those days that makes you wonder.
* a friend from work was without water at his house this morning
* my parents’ water heater quit working today
* a […]

So, the blog is back. It’s on a new host, and I’m still getting used to the changes. More to come later, if I don’t forget I have a blog.

Don’t be a jerk

Sunday, den 12. November 2006

So I was watching TV tonight, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught an advertisement that piqued my interest. The plot was basic and banal — a young guy got up on the subway and offered his seat to an elderly woman. The advertisement was for the Foundation for a Better […]
