With fall here and winter right around the corner coupled with the early sunsets, my ability to exercise outside has nearly come to a halt. I’m now in the gym 3+ nights a week on the dreaded stationary bike which is no where near a close second, or even third or fourth to my road [...]

At the end of July, I signed up to do the National MS Society City to Shore Ride after only riding a road bicycle for a few weeks. I had roughly 9 weeks to ride and train for a 45 mile portion of the the charity event ride held at the end of September. Completing [...]

Last night was Week 2 Day 2 of the one hundred pushups.

While my max is improving, I still really don’t like doing pushups.
One month from today I will be riding with 7,000 others to raise awareness in the National MS Society City to Shore Ride 2008 taking place in New Jersey. I will be riding 45 miles on my bicycle from somewhere just outside Cherry Hill to Ocean City, New Jersey and have been training daily for [...]

15 / 13 / 10 / 10 [...]
