I got an email from the RIT Alumni Association that had a drawing of Ritchie the (cartoon) tiger holding a thermometer that denotes the number of donations that the school has gotten this year. For personal reasons, I found this picture extremely amusing, so I...

Mid-Day Workouts

by | Fitness, Overcoming Obstacles

Mid-day workouts are great. You do not have to get up at 5:30 in the morning in order to have time before work to get it done. You do not have to delay dinner until 8 or 9 o’clock at night due to working out after work. You get the warmest part of the day to...

Journal?

by | Run To Win Website

I got to thinking today about the structure of how I want the training log to work when I write it. A feature that I definately want to have is a place to keep comments in a journal type fashion about the workouts themselves. When I was in college, that was the best...

New Shoes

by | Fitness, Shoes, Technology

I tried a new pair of shoes for this evening’s workout, the Asics DS-Trainer X. The jury is still out a little on whether I like them. We ran a Baxter Woods workout, which is basically a 600 meter down hill trail followed by two sharp turns and a 200 meter...

Tea Masala

The leg that I pulled on Tuesday felt fine this morning, but my right leg was feeling a little funny. By the end of the run it had been stretched out though and was okay. I felt tired during the run, though; not tired as in exhausted physically, but tired as in...

Faulty Assumptions

by | Technology

The problem with assumptions is that they are not always correct. Something to always bear in mind no matter what you are doing, but something to especially bear in mind when dealing with humans and money. After all, what use is money without humans? I was asked to...

Pulled Calf

by | Injuries

Tuesday morning I went in to work early (around 5:30), and wound up doing my workout in the early afternoon instead of first thing. Tuesday evening I spent the night out on the town with my girlfriend, and while I was walking up the stairs at the theater my leg gave...

The Whizzinator

by | Sports

I rather like the name of that…the Whizzinator! Onterrio Smith was caught last month at an airport with vials of powdered urine for his Whizzinator. Basically, it is a prosthetic penis designed to thwart drug tests. Smith has already been suspended twice in the...

Freddie Mitchell and a big mouth…what next?

by | Sports

Freddie Mitchell was released by Philly on Friday, and he is already running (well, still running) his mouth off. He was quoted a few times in the Denver Post, stating how he would like to play for Denver, Washington, Tampa Bay, or Tennessee. “[Denver’s]...
