Certainly, no one–after reading the current articles (like this NY Times piece) where cyclist after cyclist has come out to reveal how Lance (and many others) has been doping for years–can possibly believe that Lance Armstrong is still innocent.

Goal Achieved! Now What?
This morning I stepped on the scale and was overjoyed to see I had surpassed my goal with a weight of 159.0 as you can see. Wow. This begs the question “Now what?” Well after hugging Zanna I answered this question by putting on my running shoes and banging out a hilly 4 mile run.Continue reading “Goal Achieved! Now What?”
Be Prepared!
The old Boy Scout refrain is quite apropos when it comes to staying on plan with weight loss and fitness.

Windows Keyboard on Mac

Steal …Err… Buy This Book!
When I was a kid, there was a subversive counter-culture book with the crazy title Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman. While I would never endorse stealing – it goes against my ethics – one of my siblings obtained (hopefully purchased or borrowed from a friend rather than committing the act endorsed by the book’sContinue reading “Steal …Err… Buy This Book!”
