Peter on Philosophy.
Philosophy is good. A good philosophy is better. I have a good philosophy. Do you?
Sometimes You Gets The Bear…
And sometimes the bear gets you.
The 2008 Nautica NYC Triathlon is over, capping a ridiculously busy, and ultimately frustrating weekend for me. Sadly, it didn’t go even remotely the way I wanted it to, resulting in my not participating in the Tri at all, but picking my bike up and walking it home at 5am […]
Lessons from a mile of hell
So the other day, I signed up with a Triathlon team. I figured, I have my running team, so this is a way to get faster in the other two sports that compose a Triathlon.
Today, their calendar said “moderate run,” since most of them were doing the Rhode Island Half-Ironman this coming weekend.
I emailed one […]
My weekend, in two videos and one picture…
Saturday with family (godmother’s grandkids’ bar mitzvah.)
Sunday:
Sunday night:
Congratulations, Larry and Heidi.
It’s gonna be a good summer…
I control-alt-deleted my brain on Saturday. Twice, in fact.
This winter was way too long, way too cold, and way too depressing. This summer finds me back in hard-core training for the 2008 NYC Marathon, the Arkansas Iron-Mountain Half-Ironman, and a ton of other races. I’m gonna jump as much as I can in the middle […]
A nice bit of Patriotism for a Monday morning
Found this, thought it was a nice way to start the week.
THIS… IS… PAINFUL!!!
As opposed to “This… Is… SPARTA!!”
I got introduced to Crossfit this morning by someone else at Ad:Tech. You know how you can tell I did? I’m the guy at Ad:Tech who can’t walk.
6am at Golden Gate Park. It was… Well, it was hellish. And it was painful. And it was… more addictive than what I […]
Why I didn’t go skydiving on 2008’s first 70+ degree day
Jast June, I thought it’d be fun to skip out of a meeting and jump. Figured, “hey, one jump, I’ll just head home afterwards and blame traffic.”
This happened. And a warning, it’s rated R for some questionable (and painful) language.
I wasn’t about to tempt Karma today, I’m just saying. I’ve got a whole summer […]
This must be what quitting Heroin is like…
I ran The Poland Spring Marathon Kick-off 5 mile race this morning. 42:32, or exactly an 8:30 pace. Not terrible. Not enough to get me to reverse my decision about deferring, but not terrible. Exactly one minute slower than the same race a year ago. Probably closer to 30-seconds slower, but I had to stop […]
A small PSA for my Bootcamp Class
A Public Service Announcement for all of us currently taking Instructor Walston’s Navy SEALs Bootcamp class in Central Park:
When asked to count off to four, it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, then you repeat the sequence. So, it would be:
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
NOT, 1, 2, 3, 4, […]
