A good cardio workout

There’s almost nothing that feels as good as hitting stride in a cardio workout and I hit my stride early this morning and got the endorphins flowing. I worked my way back to a 40 minute session on the elliptical and it really felt good. No straining at all, and the time went by quickly. [...]

Early in the morning

I’ve been getting to bed pretty early the last couple of nights. I was in bed before 8 PM last night and had the lights out an hour or so later. Also been sleeping with the bedroom window open because it’s been nice out, cool, but not cold. (Of course, today that might change–it will [...]

New gym stats

I had a lunch time strength training session at the gym today, chest and back, and I got in a full workout without feeling like I was going to pass out. Actually, it was my best workout since getting back into things. Rather than bore people with the clinical details of my workouts, as I [...]

Happy 6 month anniversary!

A happy 6 month anniversary goes out to vickyandnorm. I can’t believe it was six months ago that you guys got married. Man, time flies!

Annapolis

Spent much of the afternoon today in Annapolis with Kelly. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky, with a nice breeze in the warm air. We wandered the streets of Annapolis, popping in and out of shops, watching boats on the water, eating ice cream and drinking grape [...]

Saturday is laundry day

I was up at 8 AM, ran up to IHOP for breakfast (for the first time in a while) and then spent the rest of the day on chores. I did every scrap of laundry available in the house and it is finally all done. Every last bit of it. I decided my bedroom needed [...]

Protected: Retirement milestone

Back from happy hour!

Happy hour was a lot of fun. We went to Sine (pronounced “shinay”), a local Irish bar. We don’t normally go there, but they had outdoor seating and it was a particularly beautiful evening tonight. There were six or seven of us, me, Paraag, Carmen, Jess, Jason, Kristy. We sat around drinking for a few [...]

It’s Friday!

I was in bed at 6:45 PM last night. I watched a few episodes of M*A*S*H and then was out cold. I guess I’d been pretty tired. Up at 5:30 this morning so I got a decent night’s sleep. It’s been a busy day here. But for the 5th day in a row, I did [...]

Ice cream cone

I walked down to the Mall a little while ago and instead of getting the usual Chocolate Shake or Banana Split, I opted for the 2-scoop chocolate waffle-cone. Yum-my! Of course, I ate it fast and now I’m shivering from the cold ice cream, but it was totally worth it. And even though Haagen Dazs [...]

Lunch at the gym

Just back from the gym. I didn’t go this morning, but I did go at lunch. I did 30 minutes of cardio this time, and am steadily building my way back to where I was at my peak. I’ve been to the gym 4 days in a row now and that feels pretty good.

One and a half games, with ten left to play

While the Yankees completed a sweep of the Orioles last night, Toronto completed a sweep of Boston and that means that Boston’s lead in the division has been cut to 1.5 games. They are also up 5.5 games in the wild card race. I’m still convinced the Yanks will win the division, as I have [...]
