Go to the gym or fire up your Wii?

December 7, 2006

This guy is looking for the answer. He’s going to do 30 minutes a day of Wii Sports for six weeks and track the following metrics (Weight, BMI, Heart Rate (at rest), Body fat, Pain/Soreness and more) to see what effect his training regimen has. This is not Rocky hauling carcasses across Siberia but it [...]

East Coast v. West Coast Racing

November 21, 2006

After three years, I finally convinced Alex to run a race with me–Hood to Coast. He was all sorts of excited (he had already started training) and we even got Dennis to apply! I sent in the application last month and on Saturday I received a letter telling me that our team was not selected. [...]

Marathon Sunday

November 5, 2006

My most favorite day of the entire year in the New York City is Marathon Sunday. I love the crowds of fans on 4th avenue. I love the runners. I love the costumes. I even love all the gatorade cups that are left behind after the runners have finished with a neighborhood. This morning I [...]

30 by 30! Woo!

October 11, 2006

Back in January I found that I was getting close to a weight that I was really not happy with (the high point was… wait for it… 252 pounds). I also found myself sweatier and more out of shape than I probably had ever been. As I was heading into the year of my 30th [...]

Second Half baseball predicitons…

July 13, 2006

Now that we’re entering the second half of the season, what do we think will happen. An email containing FOX’s predictions became a thread containing all of our predictions. I will paste them here for posterity (and gloating rights come October). Manlio’s: Those are all good questions. I think: 1. the AL east comes down [...]

Boot camp for a sissy

July 12, 2006

This morning I decided to try out boot camp with Matt Hayes. I have always wanted to go to boot camp or do basic training. Whenever I hear of a celebrity who needed to go through “basic training” to get in shape for a role, I get all kinds of jealous. Our meeting started at [...]

Best headbutt ever?

July 11, 2006

Without a doubt. Try and find a beter one. You can’t. If you manage to pull off a move like that in a bar fight, your friends would literally never stop talking about it. The timing of the ‘butt was definitely questionable, though, as France really could have used Zidane going forward in the match. [...]
