July 22nd, 2008 — , 100 Pushups, Exercise, swimming from Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Health
Last week I had a little difficulty fitting in my 100 pushups. Friday, I simply got busy trying to take care of business for the weekend. When you are traveling 350 miles, switching hotel rooms, going to weddings, etc. it’s hard to find a half hour of contiguous time to get the pushups in. [...]

Quick question. My orthopedist said no more jogging. I’m only allowed elliptical without the arm motion, light swimming and walking. (Lower disc issues). I’ve lost about 25 lbs or so and scared that since I have to give up the other stuff I was doing (mainly dance, body toning etc) I did that I’ll [...]

I don’t believe I have mentioned it before, but we have an in-ground pool. We put it in 4 years ago or so and if you don’t try to calculate the per-swim cost it’s been great. The idea behind getting the pool was that the kids and their friends would tend to congregate [...]

This week last year was filled mostly with racing news, and what wasn’t racing was related in some way to swimming.
I offered 9 methods for counting laps in the pool. I usually use the buoys on the lane dividers.

This week last year I got to get back up on my pulpit and offer my unsolicited opinion on a topic in running, which I had not done for a while.
