10 km run in Devon, hot and humid at maybe 31 degrees C?

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

This morning I ran 10 km on the trails. It was very hot at 31 degrees C towards the second half of my run. Then I went to work.
From my bone scan results and the symptoms, my doctor thinks I have gout. What is gout? I quote from the following web [...]

Exercise really can work…

Monday, June 19th, 2006

I am very happy to announce something that may give encouragement to those who need it. Marilyn just got the results of the state of her health from her doctor for the first time since she started an active running/cross-training program last August. Her cholesterol levels are much lower, her blood pressure is lower, [...]

I had a little problem in that I noticed my rear wheel rubbing against the frame in a big [...]

Another windy ride…

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

I had a great plan to defeat the wind this time around. All I had to do was to ride north then west in the morning then by the time the wind picked up I would have smooth sailing with the wind at my back. So I planned on heading north on HWY [...]

Good news and bad news…

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

The good news is that my swimmimg is improving. The bad news is that I can no longer ignore a certain recurring “injury”.
Did 3.2 km today at the indoor track. I was slower than last week with a pace of 11 mins per mile. I know it is confusing to mix two measurement [...]
