Last week was Affiliate Summit East 2009, and despite my intentions to be a good food citizen, I feel victim to the evenings of bacchanalia.
Five days in New York City with lots of food and drink, combined with little amounts of sleep never turn up a good result.
So no scale check-in for the week. But [...]

I am just about to head off to Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York City, so I won’t have a chance to exercise for about 5 days – it’s a tight schedule without downtime doing these conferences twice a year, so I’ll have to compensate before and after.
But for anybody going to Affiliate Summit [...]

After conquering my first 5k a few weeks ago, I’ve signed up for my next one, the Berkeley Heights 5k, taking place on September 20, 2009.
I am excited about the next run, because it’s the same route as my first 5k, which punished me with hills I didn’t expect.
This time around I’ll be ready for [...]

Now that I’ve got the running bug, I’m evolving with my jogging fashions. Up until now, I’ve just been wearing a cotton t-shirt and shorts, and each time I finish I am just soaked with sweat and totally uncomfortable.
I usually wear a baseball cap, too. But I was reading that it was better to wear [...]

I’ve completed my first 5k, and I was very excited to complete it as part of my affiliate fatblogging odyssey.
As I was preparing for the race, I saw a lot of 5k tutorials that recommended working up to it over 6-12 weeks, and I probably pushed myself too quick into it (all in just [...]

I’ve been giving my new running shoes a good workout. As I mentioned in a recent affiliate fatblogging post, I am working towards running in my first 5k.
I am running several times a week and gradually increasing the length of my runs to build stamina.
Based on what I’ve been reading online, you should usually train [...]

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 use with my iPod Touch – this is a neat tool on my Touch that tracks distance, speed, calories burned, etc.
I went to [...]

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 [...]
