What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
Well, what fun! I’m deciding what races I’m going to commit to for 2009.
Perhaps I should avoid the Krispy Kreme Challenge next month, though, given my fitness goals:
“Beginning at the NC State Belltower, each runner runs 2 miles to the Krispy Kreme store located on Peace St. in Raleigh. After downing a full dozen of [...]

So there I was, at the jewelery counter this morning, wanting to get a new battery for my heart rate monitor. (On topic, barely.)
However, there was a problem.
The sales clerk told me she couldn’t open my watch to put the battery because I might sue the company if she ruins it.
OK, other places have the [...]

Happy New Year!
I’m not a big resolution person — I make goals through the year and adjust them as needed. But this time of year begs a little retrospective and introspection.
Here are some things I’m thinking about for the year:
Continue reading about endurance events/ultramarathons and other motivating blogs (see blogroll) and books. Live lessons about [...]

One Beverly Hills, Calif. doc claimed that he powered his Ford SUV and his girlfriend’s Lincoln Navigator using fat that he liposuctioned from patients.
(He now is in South America, where he fled to avoid prosecution for a number of other charges, including letting his unlicensed girlfriend perform liposuction. Yikes!)
I think one of the most disturbing [...]

Catching up on my online reading a bit today — was pretty much a Luddite last week, reading books on paper and stuff! Comments on those later this week.
Came across three interesting posts today:

First, let me say: two people found me today by googling for “chances i’d eat my friends if trapped and starving.” Hmm. (I actually remember one of my early posts being a quiz of this sort, so that must be how they found me. Even so, it was pretty funny seeing that phrase listed on [...]

My mother and I go way back with weight issues. She just left after a week here and, I have to say, it was one of our better weeks together. (We really only had one snippy point, when I couldn’t resist criticizing her beloved Lou Dobbs as a ridiculous conspiracy-theorist fear-monger. Oops! I quickly [...]

My resting heart rate is 56 now. (Used to be in the 70s.) Amazing.
One really motivating thing to me about exercise — our bodies improve so quickly! They so appreciate our efforts. Walk a block today, and in a short week or two, we can walk more distance-wise and more easily effort-wise. Before we know [...]
