  • Kickball

    Okay, a little late, but I thought it worthwhile to take a bit of time to report on the kickball tournament that I mentioned in my last post. There was some talk going back and forth in the morning about whether or not we were going to play. It had rained the last 2 nights,…

  • National Employee Health and Fitness Week

    So this week at work we are celebrating National Employee Health and Fitness week. Every day this week there are various events that the company is putting on, generally over lunch. Monday, there was a wiffleball tournament. Yesterday there was a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, cornhole, punt pass and kick, and a dunk tank. Today, a…

  • More exercis-y goodness

    So I’ve been exercising like a champ lately. I decided my workout pattern will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. So that’s off Sunday and Wednesday, with the option of if I go play basketball on Wed. night then I will count that as Thursday morning exercise. So this week I was able to do…

  • It’s GO time!

    So, as I mentioned back last post, I have been practicing for an upcoming triathlon. As the date got closer and closer, I got a bit nervous about the event. I did my practice triathlon on Tuesday, and completing that did give me a fair bit of confidence that I could do it, but still,…

  • Triathlons

    Been awhile I know, but I’ve been busy. I guess. Those of you who have known me for awhile might already know this, but I have always wanted to run a triathlon. Maybe it’s from watching too much ABC Wide World of Sports as a kid, but it just always seemed like a cool thing…

  • Free throw shooting

    So I’ve been out shooting free throws on my new bball hoop. I’ve been aiming for 70% in clumps of 20 shots. Sidenote: I suck at free throws. I actually made it once yesterday (for the first time). I actually made 16/22. The real question is, statistically speaking, how often will someone that has a…
