Light the Night Walk 2010
I organized and walked in the Light the Night walk this year with a co-worker. My buddy Rod was diagnosed with cancer and it has been a real eye opener for me over the past few weeks. The entire House of Husar walked. We raised $1050 I think in the end. Here is a slideshow from the...

I am all registered to do the half marathon on Oct. 17th at the Des Moines Marathon. You can watch my training at My Fitness Challenge. See my fitness dashboard or my fitness calendar. I did 10 miles a few weeks ago and it was really hard. That was by far the farthest I have ran since I was in the Army back in early 90′s. I started running to lose some weight. That is going well. But to be honest it is a great mind clearer lately. A buddy has been diagnosed with cancer and it is tough to take as he fights it. Running I guess has turned into a way to deal with...
Read MoreMy Fitness Challenge Project
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 how I want. Other than some layout things I am still working no I am very happy with the results so far. I have a handful of friends posting their fitness...
Read More30 Run Challange: 6 of 30
I got in a decent run tonight. I went for speed and not distance tonight. It was pretty nice out so I shed a few layers of my normal winter gear. Some tights, two pair of b-ball shorts, two shirt and a hat. Felt a little lighter that is for sure. But like I said, I was trying to run faster instead of my normal fat burning sluggish trot. It was a heck of a lot faster that is for sure. I have been running 10 minute mile pace and dropped down to 8 and some change. Lungs were feeling it too. I have to say I am not making very good progress on my 30 runs. But now that work is back to normal...
Read More30 Run Challange: 1 of 30
Started a 30 day run challenge today. Nothing too special but something to get me started and ready for spring. Nice winter night to get in a run so I couldn’t have picked a better night to get started. I finished up work at about 8:00. I ate some dinner and then headed out about nine. Felt pretty good then about halfway my knee started acting up. It only bugs me when I am out of shape so that is a good indication of my condition I guess. Run one is completed so on to run 2 but I might have to dig up my knee brace. Here is the damage recorded with my iPhone and the PathTracker...
