This very instant, I am a 23 year-old person with an Engineering degree. During my free moments I enjoy reading good books, bicycling, pondering life and kicking it with my friends. My friend, Colin, started a web comic called Ninja Ken and had me do the basic design and all the coding. Recently I have been training for a triathlon (which is to be determined) and writing a little about it here.
Being busy (or business?) has kept me from the gym recently. Swam last Wednesday, was gone over the weekend and attempted to run on Sunday morning. Wow, that was hard. Lots of sweating and heart beating for only fifteen minutes of running. The next day went better, maybe because I had more food in my system.
Anyways, temporarily stopping for various reasons (like longer than intended naps) wrecks havoc on the body. What was going strong and well just stops; quickly too. No wonder “they” recommend you do not take more than one day off at a time; even a little bit of running avoids the potential of halting all progress.

Under no circumstances should you stop your routine for a few days and try to pick it up again; then do more. Maybe because it was such a beautiful day or maybe because I should have eaten more, but this morning I could not for the life of me run. There was a lot of breathing and sweating, but little running. All the people at the gym before Church we’re much older, so hopefully my struggle made their day.

Snow and ice made the past two work-outs more difficult than they should have been. Fear of getting stuck, then actually getting stuck made going to the gym more difficult. That was a poor excuse today, because it was warm enough to ride my bike.
Thankfully some nice neighbors helped extricate my car for me. Now the only excuse is laziness.
