  • Tuesday cardio workout

    27 May 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I did a full cardio workout at lunch today. 40 minutes on the elliptical. I upped the level to 3 for the first time. I burned 579 calories and went 3.10 miles. My heart rate is starting to come back down now that I’m getting back into the swing of things. It had been way…

  • Heading home

    We were up early again today, Memorial Day 2008, but we lazed around a bit before heading down to breakfast. After breakfast, we took another walk around the perimeter of the resort. Then we found a shady place to sit on the porch, and climbed into some rocking chairs to relax for a little while.…

  • Thursday strength workout

    22 May 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I’ve eased my way back into cardio and today I began easing my way back into strength training. But it by no means seemed easy. I felt like I was starting way back at the beginning. Knowing my penchant for overdoing it, I tried to keep it light, but not too light. I did 2…

  • Wednesday workout

    I got in a full cardio workout at lunch today, 40 minutes, burning something like 565 calories and 3.02 miles. It felt pretty good. No knee pain, no headaches.

  • Noon workout

    I didn’t get to the gym this morning, but I went at lunch today and got in a half hour cardio workout that was pretty intense. I was up above 80 RPM more most of the workout and got one good sprint in. Heart rate was up high but that should start to come back…

  • Friday cardio workout

    I didn’t get to the gym this morning; instead I did some extra work. But I didn’t skip either. I headed to the gym at 4 PM and did 30 minutes of cardio. I pushed a little harder. My heart rate is still way up, but once I settle in it should come back down…

  • Blood, sweat and tears (not necessarily in that order)

    07 May 2008 » 2 min read about Fitness & Health

    Up at 4:20 AM after getting to sleep after 10 PM. When I woke up, I was in no mood to go to the gym, but I ate breakfast, got ready, and headed into the office. By the time I got to the office, my mood was better and I went to the gym. 25…

  • Back to the gym

    05 May 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    After a few month of sabbatical, I finally made it back to the gym this morning. I was up at 4:20 AM (after having been in bed just before 8 PM), had breakfast, and then headed into the office. I did a quick check of email and then headed over to the gym. I did…

  • Thursday cardio workout

    I got in a partial cardio workout at lunch today, because I didn’t get to the gym this morning. Partial because I had a meeting right at 1 PM and didn’t get to the gym as soon as I’d hoped. I did a little over 20 minutes on the elliptical, which is just over half…

    I did get to the gym at lunch today. My tag-up meeting ran over and I finally hopped on an elliptical at about 12:15, but I did a full 40 minute cardio workout and it felt pretty good. In the end I burned 567 calories and 3.04 miles. My heart rate was higher than my…

  • Saturday morning cardio workout

    16 Feb 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    Despite getting to bed around 1 AM, I was up at 7:30 AM. I headed down to the hotel restaurant for a scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes breakfast, waited 45 minutes or so and then headed to the gym where I did a full 40 minute cardio workout, which felt great. Usually, I listen to…

  • Shortened workout

    15 Feb 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I just finished an abbreviated lower body workout the hotel fitness center. What I thought might be allergies looks like it might be a cold or bug or something. While my throat isn’t sore, my head has felt weird since this morning, and my eyes are burning a little–like the onset of a fever. It’s…
