It’s here! It’s finally here!

Slowly undressing this lovely…

Uhhh…..where is this going?

Foot Post

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

We took the dogs to Blankets Creek today. They love the place. As usual we rode in on the Dwellings Loop then cut out to the lake, which is actually a lake bed these days. The dog can then run free and jump in the water as needed/wanted. Namrita had the [...]

Adapting

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

I seem to be adapting to this weight lifting routine. We have two more weeks of this 4 days-a-week hypertrophy phase. The first two weeks hurt….a lot. I mean simple things like standing, sitting and bending over were made…uh…very uncomfortable by the muscle soreness. The accumulated soreness was brutal toward the [...]

By now you have probably heard about Black Ink Friday. While the rest of western civilization was out shopping (who goes to sales that start at 4 AM?) Namrita and I hit the gym, the rollers and finally headed across the tundra to Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids seems like a city on the [...]

3 Hours On The Rollers…By Accident

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I go down stairs to my in-laws basement set up the rollers, turn on the movie Zodiac and climb aboard the bike. It took me a ten minutes or so to get reaquainted with the riding the rollers…it’s been a few months. After a few bobbles, I’m spinning away. The movie is [...]

On the Road Again

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

We are heading to MI today to send the holiday with Namrita’s family and spend a day or two with friends in Grand Rapids. I’ve got to pack, so that’s it for now.

I have survived the first week of weight lifting….barely. That hurt. It usually takes multiple days of long rides or 24 hour to feel that kind of deep muscle soreness, but with weights it came in just one hour a day. We lifted 4 times this week and I think we worked [...]
