23 Miles, 1 hour 28 min
Posted August 28, 2010 – 9:06 pm in: Fitness, JournalI drove to Buckner Park this morning, put my bike together, and rode 23 miles. I drive to Buckner Park occasionally and ride from there because Bass Road is heavily traveled by car and truck drivers and it has no shoulder to use in case I’m in danger of being kissed by a passing vehicle.

Posted August 25, 2010 – 5:19 am in: FitnessI have several physical features that I’m stuck with, but which I’d like to revise. One of those features is my wrists. They are skinny. This might not sound like a serious problem to some people. In fact, it’s not a serious problem for me, either. It’s not a problem by any measure. But it’s [...]

Posted August 11, 2010 – 8:49 pm in: FitnessI returned to Erin Long‘s open training session Monday evening after two weeks off. The first week of absence was due to vacation. The second week was due to a bad cold. During my two weeks away, I unfortunately didn’t do much to maintain my muscle tone. I did manage to get three pretty decent [...]

Brian was filling in for Erin Long, who is in California attending a seminar. The session was set up in modules of 8 repetitions. There must have been 15 or so individual modules. At least it seemed like [...]

Posted July 7, 2010 – 5:31 am in: FitnessI would have thought I’d be fit by now. Biking, physical training, and now yoga. Not to speak of the daily walks. Just how much does a person have to do to KEEP FROM GETTING SORE MUSCLES!? I wonder if there’s any exercise regimen that keeps all muscles toned to the point where they no [...]

Posted June 19, 2010 – 11:14 am in: FitnessI attended a yoga class Thursday evening. It was my first time at an organized yoga session. I held up fairly well under the circumstances. By the end of the hour, though, I had worked up a good sweat. I think I might have been the only one of the eight attendees who was sweating. [...]

Posted May 18, 2010 – 5:08 am in: FitnessI attended my weekly session of open training at the Kachmann Mind Body Institute on the campus of Lutheran Hospital yesterday at 5:30 p.m. The traffic jam inside the hospital complex was unbelievable. I sat in my car for 10 minutes waiting for someone ahead of me to get permission to turn left into the [...]

Posted April 15, 2010 – 10:22 pm in: Fitness, JournalPat drove over from Valparaiso on Saturday morning. We drove to Rockhill Park, unloaded our bikes, and spent the next hour and a half riding the Greenway through Fort Wayne. Strong winds made our ride pretty challenging. Pat made my ride particularly grueling because I tried to keep up with him. I should know better [...]

Posted April 6, 2010 – 8:39 pm in: FitnessI tried to get ready for my Monday session at Kachmann Mind Body by biking 18 miles on Sunday, then riding 5.5 miles to work on Monday morning. Since Kachmann Mind Body is within the Lutheran Hospital complex, my ride there after work was short and sweet. By the end of Monday’s session, I was [...]

Posted March 30, 2010 – 9:22 pm in: Fitness, JournalI biked to work today for the first time this year. Temperature outside was 30 degrees F when I left the house. I drove the car, with my bike stuffed inside, to the Scott’s parking lot at 14 and Scott. I parked there, got the bike out, strapped my backpack on, and headed out. Within [...]
