Another 26 km bike trip today…

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Marilyn and I (on her suggestion) headed out for a bike ride to Devon today. Since I ran the same 24 km route yesterday I wasn’t sure I could handle it but I managed nicely! So we decided to measure out my 27 km run due next Sunday and I marked where the [...]

A biking we will go…

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I chose to rest up from road pounding today and not run, so I hopped on my bike and mapped out a route for my next long run on Sunday which is to be 24 km. So I rode to Devon. For some stupid reason I had a huge lapse of focus and [...]

Do you suffer from the heartbreak of hat hair?

Then don’t wear a bike helmet, bozo!:

As you can see, I’m pretty broken up about it.

I’ve only gone a paltry 34 or so km so far on my bike this year. It’s so hard to find time what with the work, the running, the karate, the liquor drinking and carousing, and so on that [...]

Testing and adjusting our new bikes…

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, [...]

50 km Mondays…

Monday, June 19th, 2006

Rode 50.17 km in 2:15:28 at an average speed of 22.37 KPH. Winds were N at 10 to 15 KPH. Total for the year 794 km. Nothing unusual happened, no mishaps, or problems. Toe joint is giving me some grief. Oh well, I just gotta wait for the results I [...]
