My First 5K!
As usual in my life, I did this backward ... What do I mean by that? Well, I've already run a marathon, done a triathlon, ridden a century on my bicycle and done other obscure endurance events ... Even making three attempts at [...]
Struggling with Fitness
We’ve all been there … Each and every one of us über fitness nuts have brief stints where we fight internally and struggle to get a simple workout in. I’m fighting that battle on a regular basis. So I thought I would put some of my thoughts down to share with some of you.
It seems tougher and tougher to get a [...]
HIT is My Secret Weapon
I am three years into High Intensity Training (H.I.T.) weight lifting. I have had a couple of two week stretches of sickness and missing workouts for some reason or another ... I've also done some "other" types of weight training (e.g. powerlifting, bigger arms, etc) for a two month or so duration. All-in-all, I have probably done [...]
Discovering a Lifelong Goal!
Dearest friends, family, and anonymous blog lurkers,
I had an epiphany last night … As I’ve mentioned before, I love Ahnold’s response (in Conan the Barbarian) to the question, “What is best in life?”
Without missing a beat, Conan bellows, “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.”
Don’t get me wrong [...]
Century Bicycle Ride to the Beach
In keeping with my plan to participate in three major events each year of the rest of my life, I rode a 100+ mile bicycle ride with some of my best friends. We decided to ride from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to Ocean City, Maryland.
You can see [...]
My First Triathlon
Okay, so it was only a mini-sprint (think real short, like George Castanza in a cold swimming pool) ...
The race broke down like this [...]
Climbing Mount Rainier in 2010
My non-stop flight to Washington was uneventful ... Just before landing I could see the behemoth known as Mount Rainier. At 14,412 feet it is among the tallest peaks in the 48 contiguous states. It also has one of the largest glacier systems in North America. Rainier is famous for creating its own weather systems and having extremely hazardous conditions. For this reason, many people travel from around the world to train on [...]
C&O Canal Ride 2009 from D.C. to Cumberland
"Behind us lay the whole of America and everything Dean and I had previously known about life, and life on the road. We had finally found the magic land at the end of the road and we never dreamed the extent of the magic."
-- Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Friday, September 19, 2009 at 6:31 a.m. Andrew and I started loading our bicycles on my truck. We packed tons of Gu, power bars and bottles of water. We piled into my FJ Cruiser and headed to Pete’s house. Our plan was simple (they always start that way) [...]
Last Training Day Before the Adventure!
Nutshell: Andrew, Pete and I rode together on the C&O canal for 40 miles... Awesome weather!
Deep Dive: This ride was another epic...
On Sunday (9/13/09) morning [...]
Incorporating HIIT…
Many of you know what HIIT is... But, for those of you who don't, I will lay it out for ya.
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is cardio based work that shortens your workout time and intensifies (to say the least) your effort and outcome. Basically, it involves [...]
Epic Bicycle Trek
I embellish… It wasn’t an epic in the true sense of the word. But, for Pete and me, yesterday’s ride was a small epic.
We decided to ride the Poolesville, Maryland loop based on a local rider’s [...]
My Latest CD4 and HIV-1 RNA levels
I get routinely tested for CD4 and RNA levels. My latest test revealed a CD4 helper level of 614. This is a very high number and puts me in the arena with "normal" healthy adults. In the past, my levels hung between 200 and 300. I've even dipped well beneath 200 back in the old days... I attribute my fantastic results to my healthy living, strict medicine intake and mental attitude. I'm sure that a combination of these things has made me a stronger and healthier person.
Along with my great CD4 level, my HIV-1 RNA level (viral load) remains undetectable and is below 48, which is the cutoff for detectable levels

Bad Weather Didn’t Hinder
Pete and I rode 40 miles roundtrip today. It was horrendous weather... The rain was coming down pretty hard and the canal towpath was a solid trail of puddles, washouts and mud. 3/4 of the way through my trek and I started getting a chill that burned to the bone. My teeth chattered. [...]
