Triathlon Preparation

Well, I’ll admit right up front that I really don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to training or doing a triathlon. With that said, my third triathlon is coming up tomorrow. Yep. Saturday. Other than doing something, exercise wise, every day for the past 10 weeks, I’ve really not prepared. By default because [...]

In the Zone

Early this week I was a little confused by my heart rate monitor’s “in the zone” feature. No matter what I do or how long I do it for, I’m never in the zone for more than a minute or so. Some how I feel like I’m missing out on something. Hey, I want to [...]

Track Diet with Your Cell Phone

Trying to eat healthy can be challenging. The hardest part is keeping track of what I’ve eaten on a daily basis. I want to be good and write it all down, but that can be difficult with a busy schedule. Heck, it’s hard to find time to eat most days. But I’ve figured that part [...]

Home Gyms are Convenient

I have a membership to a gym, Pure Fitness. I like going to the gym most of the time. The last time I went, a couple of days ago, there was a very foul odor in the air. It almost made me sick. I really wasn’t thrilled about going back there any time soon, and [...]

I’m Pooped!

Yes, it was another big day. I had lots of energy after my 12 hours of sleep last night. I still can’t believe that. But I had to make up my weight workout that I didn’t get to yesterday. See last post. I upped my weight on my Dumbbell Shoulder press to 17.5lbs, but I [...]

My Calorie Counter.com

I finally found a decent place to track my food, and it’s free. So far it has been pretty easy, but it is easy to get addicted to these social networking sites. Check out my page: http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/soul4real
I did pretty good today, except I didn’t eat enough calories and I ate too much fat. The fat [...]

Playing with my Timex Bodylinks System

I’m so bummed I can’t figure out how to work this thing. Some days it just works fine. Others I can’t get either the GPS to latch on to a satelite or I can’t get my watch to read the signal. I think I finally figured it out on the last part of the hike. [...]

Timex Data Recorder 2 Arrived

A few months back I got a sweet deal on the Timex Bodylinks System on eBay. I got it for $175. I couldn’t believe my cheap find, and surprisingly it has worked fine so far. I only say fine because I haven’t really learned how to use it properly, and last week on my hike [...]

Friday Hike on Hedgepath Trail

I decided to do a short hike today since I was already up in the area with track practice. I did the Hedgepeth Trail in Thunderbird park. It’s the best place to hike in this area. It’s about a mile up and and mile down and around the other side. It’s not that steep; you [...]

Three More Miles on the Treadmill

I don’t know what got into me, but I headed off for the gym again today. I could barely walk because me legs were so sore from yesterday’s lower body workout. In fact, my butt is still sore! Anyway, I figured the best way to loosen up would be to run a little again. So [...]
