Week in the Life, Day 3

Wednesday, July 27 (waking hours from 5am to 11:30pm) Favorite moment of the day: Riding home along the river around 10:30 last night.

Kettlebell Madness

Coming into the new year, Will was researching some new work out routines. Since I’d hit a plateau, I was interested to see what he would pick to open 2011 with. Last year was an odd year for my workout regime. I spent most of the spring and summer training on my bike to have [...]

Me and P90X: Week 1

My general feeling after completing the first week of P90X? Ouch. I have been sore everyday this week, which is a good thing. I haven’t worked this hard or felt this way in a long time. These are some serious workouts. Each day focuses on a different body part or exercise discipline. I was unable [...]
