Mid-day Coast Ride

Today I was able to get out of the office for a few hours and joined Nikee for a ride up the coast. It was the perfect day for riding - sunny and warm with a little afternoon wind to keep me cool. The ride was just over 38 miles from Fiesta Island to Solana […]

It’s Tuesday and I’m Tired!

Tonight I met up with the Breakaway Training crew for Spin at High Tech Bikes. Man… What a workout! The workout lasted about 45 minutes and by the end I was definitly wiped out. I was also surprised at how large the group is getting. There had to be 30 people there. When I first […]

New Puppy Day!

I got a new buddy! His name is Danny and he is a 9-week old miniature dachshund. He is about as big as my foot and weighs about 2 or 3 lbs. Now Auggie has a buddy.  

Here is a pic of him sleeping in Auggie’s bed. He has kept me up for two nights now but I hear […]

La Jolla Run

Today I did a 45 minute run followed by a few weight lifting exersizes. My running is really feeling great! Our run today was 4.66 miles. The image to the left shows the route. I think the numbers on the map are kilometer markers… but I could be wrong. I like running in La Jolla […]

My Expo Experience

Ever since my first experience with Road Runner Sports I have been dissatisfied with the service I received. No one took the time to actually find out what type of shoe was right for me. I’ve never really liked Road Runner Sports but the people at their expo tent were pretty cool this weekend.
This weekend […]

Mission Bay Run

Today I was slated for a 90-minute run and I did just that. I ended up running around the bay almost twice in that much time. Everytime I run the loop, I give a smile and sometimes a hello as I pass people running the other direction. I very rarely get any response but today […]

The Plunge

Today I went to The Plunge and swam. The good thing about The Plunge is that it is indoors and they keep the pool a toasty 84 degrees. The bad thing is that it is only 20 yds which means WAY too many flip turns. It costs $7 a visit but it is worth it […]

Sign me Up

Today I joined the San Diego Traithlon Club. For social reasons more than anything else. I need to get back into the triathlon community. I need to workout with others and TCSD has several workouts that are close to where I live. I am excited to meet new people!
Today was a horrible day. By 11:00am […]

HDTV will make me fat!

A few days ago I went and purchased a new T.V. I got a 40″ Sony LCD! Its a pretty substantial upgrade from my 13 year old 27″ magnavox. I seem to find myself not wanting to get off the couch anymore. I have even discovered a new way to sit on my couch that […]
