I have been thinking about building a blog just for fitness updates for some time. To take it one step further my idea was to make it a social blog with more than just me blogging and tracking my fitness goals. I am happy to say that the site is up and rolling along at full speed. This is the reason I have not been blogging much here lately. I have been busy, head down, writing a bunch of custom WordPress plugins to make my idea work...

On our last CO vacation Noah and I tried to get up to Bison Peak. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not cooperating. After seeing the GPS track I am grad we turned back when we did.

This was a pretty important event. It was the first African win in modern FIFA World...

This summer I old myself that I wanted to increase each month’s total biking miles. Even by one mile, but I wanted to build upon the amount I did the previous month. For me it is just about putting in the miles, getting stronger and losing fat. I am putting in a few runs here and there but not counting those miles in my biking miles. Since I did a century (100 miles) in May the bar had been set pretty high for May. There is not way...

UPDATE: See the details in bold below on how to see the elevation profile. Last Saturday I did my first century. I had no idea what to expect and really did not put much thought into it. Brian setup the ride for his wife Teri and I thought I had nothing better to do and went along for the ride. This was a gravel century that ended up being 100 miles out and back in the Iowa countryside. We started out with five riders. Brian and his...
