Last week, I took the hardest working vacation of my life. Travis and I (along with over 10,000 other insane folks) pedaled our asses off - literally - from the western border of Iowa to the eastern. 480 miles, to be exact.
For.
My.
VACATION.
What the hell was I thinking? Was it something along the lines of [...]
I was inspired by Zoot to try the 100 pushups program. Some of you old schoolers may remember a similar attempt I had at one of these weekly programs where the exercise was supposed to ramp up as you go along.
Last night I started on the easiest regimen there was, the level for people that [...]
Don’t even know what to say about this one.
We spent today assembling a new addition to our workout room:
Travis tore his ACL way back in August and will be undergoing surgery sometime in the next month. The best rehab he can do is apparently an exercise bike. So, along with the elliptical and weight bench, we’ve also added another apparatus that will be [...]
That’s right. Over and done. Finito. No mas.
The whole running thing? CAN BITE MY BIG FAT DIMPLED ASS is what I say.

Pshaw! I say. Running is an addiction just like licking a 9-volt battery is. (In fact, some days I’d rather lick a 9-volt. Or even a car battery. Just [...]
Usually when I work out it’s in the morning and I pop on The View or The Price is Right. Sometimes, I’m stuck working out in the off-prime afternoon hours where the choice is limited to Judge Alex or Jude Joe Brown. (Yes, I just admitted to watching two of the crappiest shows on t.v.)
Because [...]
I’ve been on my running program for almost two weeks now (although I’m still on week 1 in the regimen, but that’s only because they tell you to go slow and I like to follow orders!) (Or it may be because I suck wind on week 1 and I’m scared about what week 2 will [...]
I’m not a big fan of running (or, any exercise really, but running? I’d rather have a rusty nail hammered through my eyelid) but I have been treadmilling for the past month. My pace started out really slow (walking 16 minute miles) but being the uber-competitive chick that I am, I kept upping the time [...]
