cycling season

got outside today after I came home from a tense day at work....I did a hard 24 minute ride on the new lakeshore path near my house.

it's amazing how it helps to clear out all of the day's shyte.

I love cycling.

I need a GPS monitor though...the Garmin Forerunner's looking good.

Dragon Boat Racing

So I think I'm going to join the Dragon Boat team at work.

I have a good amount of experience paddling, etc. I haven't done it in a few years but it's like riding a bike.

First practice is in May. I need to drop about 30lbs by then. It's achievable, I just have to stick to my workouts and be vigilant about my nutrition.

Health & Fitness

I think I've found a purpose for this blog. I'll use it to chart my fitness progress back to my desired level.

My goals are lofty but not unreachable. I'm a pretty damn good all-around athlete who got out of shape after two wrsit and two knee operations. my weight actually ballooned up to 310 lbs (I'm 6'3"). This is waaay up from my playing weight of 220.

I've managed to lose some of it.....now I'm at about 270.

The fitness thing is no problem but I need to be vigilant with my nutrition.

ice breaker

Don't know what I'll do with this blog...maybe set up a blog network.

meh.

I'll be back.
