I'd join you on one of those sometime. That'd be fun. I've GOT to start biking more. Biggest problem with the park is that they let cars in after 7am. Which means that if I want to bike the park, I've gotta get in around 5am. Which is... well, fucking early. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

That's a fun one - I'd totally do that one next year. I used to represent a client in Boulder and went running with the CEO who lives out there. He kicked my ASS because of the altitude. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Just under six feet. I've considered entering races in the Clydesdale category, but NY Road Runners doesn't count that as a real category. Any fun 10k's anywhere in the world? Perhaps I'll enter. I've often thought about running races outside the city, just to see what it's like to a) run in a smaller crowd, and b) maybe, just maybe, have the potential to place. One day. Maybe. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Damn! What is your resting HR? Anywhere from 47 to 55, depending on my mood. Like right now, I'm at Newark Airport, where I just spent the past hour waiting to get off the AirTrain, which freaking DERAILED as I was on it. So I'd guess right now I'm on the higher end of that scale. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Normally, I do. I just needed something more today. I Had a really shitty yesterday. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

"Remember Jim Fix? The big famous jogging guy? Jogged fifteen miles a day. Did a jogging book. Did a jogging video. Dropped out of a heart attack when? WHEN HE WAS FUCKING JOGGING, THAT'S WHEN! What do you wanna bet it was two smokers who found the body the next morning and went, "Hey! That's Jim Fix, isn't it?" "Wow, what a f'ing tragedy. Come on, lets go buy some butts."" -Denis Leary. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Today so far, has been a good day. :) Saturday, July 7, 2007. 6:30am The run: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1115569 The Playlist: http://www.shankman.com/run070707.htm Total Distance: 16.0647 miles. Average Heart Rate: 160ish Time: 2:24, 8:57ish pace. Number of times I cursed Brooklyn because I got lost: 3 (note double-backs on map) I'm now off to sit on a plane for six hours, where I'll probably get deep vein thrombosis, and a clot will break off from my leg, travel to my heart, and kill me. But I'll die having completed a GREAT run this morning. "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit, how much you can take, and keep moving forward.

Awesome!! Will see y'all on Sunday! And don't worry - I haven't gotten better or anything. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Nothing like that at all. I just have a way of getting Skybytch there, but I have no way to contact to let Skybytch know. So if anyone knows a contact #, let me know - I figure time is of the essence. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Check your PMs. Now. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Flying into SFO late Sat night, taking a red-eye out Tuesday night. Gonna try to spend Sunday at Davis (skydance, I believe) and am free for dinner Sunday night, free most of the day Monday (dinner meeting) and free for breakfast on Tuesday. Anyone care to meet? I'm a blonde with big boobies. OK, I'm not, but perhaps that'll help. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

All: Got these in my boxing gym's summer newsletter. Very smart and helpful - Easy to do, too. -Peter 1. Get to the gym. Don't stay away till Labor Day! Even if you can only get in once or twice a week, that's better than not at all. If you have to cut your workouts shorter, same deal. Better to get in the gym for 45 minutes than missing it entirely. Let everybody else spend hours in the sun working on their tan lines. Hit the gym, spray on a fake tan and you're well on your way to cult status! 2. Play sports. Summer is a great time to get outdoors and play. What good is working out if you can't test it out? Beach volleyball, soccer, softball and handball are great to play in summer. You'll burn calories, develop agility, have fun and make new friends. 3. Go to barbecues. Nothing beats a barbecue. The food's healthier and tastes better, just lay off the barbecue sauce. If you play your cards right, you can crash strangers' barbecues and eat free all summer! 4. Go on the FSG diet. When you're not sure what to eat, use this simple diet and watch the pounds melt off. Before you eat, ask yourself three simple questions: Does it Fly, does it Swim, does it Grow? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then eat it! If the answer is no. Then don't! Example: Chilean Sea Bass and Brussels sprouts; yes and yes. Swedish fish and Fruit Loops; no and no. You get the idea. Bon appetite! 5. Swim - At the beach, bring your cardio to a new level with alternating intervals. Sprint 40 yards in the sand, hop in the water and swim 40 yards. Take a little breather, then hit it again. And again. Do it until your skin gets wrinkled or the lifeguard tells you to knock it off. At the pool, try this trick made famous by Ali and Marciano - shadowbox in the water! Go neck deep in the pool and start throwing combinations. This will lead to dramatic gains in hand speed and punching power, not to mention your reputation as a loose cannon down at the Breezy Point Surf Club. 6. Watch the beverages. Hot weather makes you thirsty, so be careful how you hydrate. Soda and soft drinks hike up your insulin level, leaving you fat and cranky. Instead, drink water or seltzer with lemons. As for sports drinks, cut them in half with water so they're not so sweet. Don't drink beer like it was Gatorade, especially after exercise. Drink water first to hydrate, then crack open a cerveza. If you like margaritas, here's a tip from Jillkerry Ward, Golden Glove finalist, world champion pie-eater and bartender - substitute fresh orange juice for triple sec and sour mix. Skip the salt. If you're going to be an alcoholic, no sense in becoming a bloated diabetic as well. 7. Train outdoors. It's nice outside! Instead of running on the treadmill, give yourself a few extra minutes and run along the water at Battery Park City. When you're not at the gym, run at the beach, hike in the mountains or circuit train at the playground. Sure, you may look like a mental patient, but at least you'll look like a buffed mental patient! 8. Eat grapefruit. Eating grapefruits cuts fat. Why, I do not know. Scientific studies have labeled this a myth, but trust me, grapefruits cut fat. Try it. And the extra vitamin C and fiber can't hurt either. 9. Take a walk. Bernard MacFadden, the "father of Physical Culture", used to walk 18 miles to work everyday, from Nyack to midtown Manhattan, barefoot. Try doing that today and they'll come chasing after you with a butterfly net. But do as much walking as possible - skip the cab, skip the bus, take the stairs, go out for lunch. You'll burn more calories, improve circulation and do you part to fight global warming. 10. Exercise when you wake up. Jack LaLanne was no fool - he knew that if he didn't work out as soon as he rolled out of bed, it wouldn't be long before he'd be walking around the house in his drawers, cigarette in one hand, Krispy Kreme in the other. I'm not saying you have to swim across the Hudson chained to a bunch of rowboats, but a couple of quick sets of pushups and sit-ups would go a long way in starting up your engine and getting in the proper frame of mind to kick some ass at work today. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Yeah, I doubt I'd attempt it anyway - I still suck.

Feel free to PM me - I've done a handful, including Escape From Alcatraz - The "What the HELL WAS I THINKING???" Triathlon. Happy to talk more. Doing Nautica NYC in three weeks. BlueSkiesKel is also a huge Triathlete - and probably the hottest Triathlete on DZ... We've got some really fit people on DZ.com, which is just really cool.
