Morning After last night we were in need of some serious grub. We rolled in Goldilocks and ordered food for 8 people. Eventho all the good food was on the breakfast menu. Place Your Bets… We headed over to Mandalady to drop our bets and meet up with Chris’ cuzin who does some work for [...]

Arrival We landed in Vegas after a super tubulent flight. My goal of sleeping the whole flight was almost accomplished, but failed because the stewardess decided to announce we’re in Vegas 45 min before we acutally landed. Grub / Errands Our first stop was Pinoy/Pinay for some much needed grub. One of the servers set [...]

Yes my friends, today is a good good day for two reasons: 1. Finally a new post on the blog [I just noticed that it's been exactly 2 months since my last post] 2. B-Side is going to be Vegas bound in approx. 17 hrs We’ll be staying at a suite in the Beautiful Venetian [...]

Day 2 in Chi-town started off rather early for us west-siders. My cousins and I hit up The SprinkBrook Golf Course in Naperville. Tee time was 7:18am CST (5:18am for me) for the back 9. Had some delicious homemade burnt bacon and sausage and off to the course we went. Course was a beaut. The [...]

Day 1 of the Chi-town trip has come and gone. After a sleepless night of packing my ass ended up a zombie the entire day. Agenda went like this: – Pack – Fly – Dinner with the relatives – Drank with the relatives – Chismis (gossip) with the relatives More details to come…

The last time I hit up In-n-Out was in Vegas this past April and my homeboy’s ordered their burgers “Animal Style”. I was amazed, their ish was glistening with grease, and filled with grilled onions. For those of you that haven’t hit up an In-n-Out yet, “Animal Style” isn’t even on the menu…it’s on the [...]

  Week 1 is complete and I’m already seeing an improvement of my max consecutive reps. My first max count was 18 consecutive pushups, one week after the start of the program and I’m at 28 max consecutive reps. Week 2 doesn’t look too challenging; but the required max reps for the final set moves slightly [...]

Here’s a list of all the upcoming races I’m putting my aging body through. The biggest one is in Chicago for a Half Marathon (the jury’s still out on this one – I’ll know a week before the race if I’m doing the Half or settling for the 5K). I’m currently looking for both a [...]

So in my never-ending quest to start and quickly stop new workout programs (i.e. P90x) I’ve recently come across a new and simple workout that states if you follow the program you’ll be able to do 100 consecutive pushups. Nice. I started my first workout today, a program that lasts 6 weeks 3x a week, and [...]

  This past Monday (July 13th) marks exactly 2 months before my scheduled half-marathon in the 13th Annual Chicago Half-Marathon/5k near beautiful Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I’m still deciding on whether or not by body will survive a half marathon. I don’t want to do it all alone so I’ve been slowly recruiting my family and [...]
