I have a captive audience this week, since my children aren't going to school. Yesterday, they did those stadium stairs with me. Today, Moses ran errands with me - on foot. We still have to hit the pool for a good long swim this week, and take our mountain hike. Plus a crossfit stadium stair … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…

It’s Just Another Manic…
Yep, you all know it! Other than ending up with the Bangles stuck in my head all day, I am attempting to write an actual decent bio for my website. It had never occurred to me (until today) that it is much, much easier to write everyone else's biography. I think that we are all … Continue reading It’s Just Another Manic…
Record Breaker…
I used to... I have started SO many sentences with those words over these past two years. I used to be a trainer. I used to be able to squat nearly 400 pounds. I used to... I used to... It's normal to take a long time when recovering from chemotherapy. More than the recovery from … Continue reading Record Breaker…
Crossfit and Yoga and Stadium Stairs, Oh My…
That was just cumbersome as a title. Once I recovered from the absolutely God-awful summer cold that I succumbed to last week, I hopped right back into my routine. Lara and I have been incorporating more yoga into our daily fitness, and I have been sprinting up and down the stadium stairs to build up … Continue reading Crossfit and Yoga and Stadium Stairs, Oh My…
Running Shoe Review…
I wanted to take the time today to write a review of an amazing shoe: the Vibram FiveFingers. I had been curious about this shoe for a long time, but didn't really have access to people I KNOW who had worn them. Then, I was fortunate enough to meet Coach Smith. She wears these shoes … Continue reading Running Shoe Review…
Day Twenty-four and a New Acquaintance…
I went and sought out my old nemesis, the stadium stairs, today. I needed the hard workout, and I needed to blow off some steam. I wrote a blog pitch for The Huffington Post last night, I am attempting to work out the glitches with this new health insurance plan my former employer switched his … Continue reading Day Twenty-four and a New Acquaintance…
Days Fifteen Through Twenty-Three…
Since the workload was lighter over the past week and change, I was able to settle into a bit more of a structured routine with my fitness again. Day fifteen was an absolute rest day: I was completely exhausted. Day sixteen was a walk: Lara and I took our small fuzzball for an hour long … Continue reading Days Fifteen Through Twenty-Three…
Days Seven through Fourteen, inclusive…
Day Six was my last physical fitness update. I will have to be brief here, as I am truly ready for sleep. It's only 9:00 p.m. I know, I have a thrilling nightlife. Instead of traditional workouts, days 7 through 14 consisted of extremely long work days. I walked an average of nearly 20,000 steps … Continue reading Days Seven through Fourteen, inclusive…
Day Two…
So, now that I have brought you up to speed on yesterday, we move into this morning. I had some screaming muscles when I awakened: biceps, pecs, lats. Ouch. After I dropped the kids off at school, I walked from my house to the stadium across the street and reacquainted myself with my old nemesis: … Continue reading Day Two…
Day One…Again…
Yesterday, I was feeling achy, tired, a little stressed. It occurred to me that, over the past month, I have put the rebuilding of my body on hold. Somewhat. I was still eating well, juicing, making smoothies, and taking my vitamins. Exercise had gone right out the window, though. I had the usual reason: not … Continue reading Day One…Again…
