Now that I’m working on building my stamina to run the 4th Annual Amber Pizzo Memorial 5K on July 12, I needed to calibrate my Nike + iPod Sport Kit that [...]

I just recently got new running shoes and hit the track for the first time yesterday.
I am trying to work up my stamina, so I am starting out alternating quarter miles with jogging and walking for a total of three miles.
My goal is to run a 5k in my town in a few weeks. It’s [...]

In my last affiliate fatblogging post, I mentioned how I was in the market for some new running shoes, and I asked for recommendations with affiliate links.
It was nice to see the altruistic responses, where lots of folks encouraged me to go to a store where they would perform a gait analysis, and have the [...]

This week I decided to incorporate some more types of exercise into my routine. I went running for the first time since 1994 or so.
This run revealed to me that I have horrible stamina and I’m very out of shape. Granted, it was late in the day and very hot, I didn’t stretch (stupid!), and [...]

I tried out my new H20 Audio Amphibx Waterproof Armband to listen to music while swimming laps.
It was great to have music while swimming, and the sound was great just below the surface, but increasingly lower as I swam lower in the pool.
It’s waterproof to 12 feet, but I guess the packaging didn’t make any [...]

I am very excited. I was at the pool yesterday and saw this guy swimming laps with headphones on.
He had an armband with his iPod Touch secured and waterproof, and I knew right away I needed to get that setup, so I could bring some music and podcasts to my swim workouts.
As soon as I [...]

My oldest daughter just had her 10th birthday party, and we had a nice, delicious, plain pizza pie left over. It went in the fridge in my office and it’s been torturing and mocking me all day.
How can [...]

I am proud to say I can fit into my skinny jeans. OK, well actually, I don’t own skinny jeans. I only wear regular jeans.
But one result I’m seeing from increased exercise is a reduction in the waist size. I’d been noticing that pants were more comfortable, and then I went swimming last Friday in [...]

I have seen repeated commercials for Hydroxycut, and I figured I’d give it a try. After all, I’ve been frustrated with the lack of movement on the scale.
I bought a package of it a few weeks back, but hadn’t tried it, yet.
So anyway, I was half listening to the news last week and heard [...]

This installment of my affiliate fatblog takes place on my birthday, so I decided to give myself the gift of a week off from the scale.
Last week, I was out at ad:tech in San Francisco and didn’t really get a chance to exercise from Monday through Thursday.
While I have been hitting the gym each day [...]
