Triathlon brick
What’s a brick, you might ask? Well, I mean most people know what a brick is but how does that relate to a triathlon? Fear not gentle readers, I will let you know. A brick is just doing two workouts back to back – most commonly biking and running (though I have also done running…

Oooh that’s brisk
So our hot water heater died on Friday. Or actually what I have since learned is called the thermal couple died. We called our home warranty folks on Friday and a guy came out on Friday night. He (thought that) he had the part to do it so he got to work and it turns…

Practice Triathlon
So with my upcoming triathlon (April 19th), I thought I’d do a practice triathlon. With not a ton of time before work, I opted for a half distance. Yes that’s right, half of the shortest triathlon out there. Got up bright and early and headed out to the Y. First up was the swim. Of…

More swimming
I’ve been a bit under the weather lately so I haven’t been out to the Y this week but I went this morning. I continued my swimming improvement – up to 1.3 mph. I wore my old watch (probably 15 years old). It said 100 meters water resistant but I was worried because it was…

A few points to clarify

Seems to be caused by some combination of crappy quality of shoes, old (worn down) shoes, and poor running technique. All of…

Oh you must, must you?
So it’s been a week or so since I posted here. And the people… they MUST have their Dan Miller. So here I am. I know… I know… you’ve been missing me. I’m sure it won’t help when I tell you that I’ve been posting over at my secret new blog. Yup, that’s right. My…

Why is it so hard to exercise?
I’m not sure why it’s so dang hard to exercise. Or why it’s so dang hard to get up in the morning. This is something that I’ve had issues with for quite awhile. Being at a job that doesn’t require a “strict” arrival time, there’s not a whole lot of incentive for me to get…

Exercise site
As I have mentioned before I recently switched exercise log providers from Active.comSuckyWebsiteMcSuckerson.com to RunningAhead.com. And of course, by “switched” I mean that the aforementioned sucky website took over the site that I was using, “converted” all the data, and made us start using their website, which sucked in comparison. Oh, and they lost (or…

Q4 2007 Exercise recap
Was looking around, and noticed that in the 4th quarter of last year (well, really the last 2 months – from 10/29 to 12/31) I biked 562.8 miles (and ran that final backwards 0.8 miles) 563.6 miles over 62 days is 9.09 miles every day. Subtracting the 9 Sundays that I did not run it’s…
