It’s done, it’s set, the fight everyone has been waiting for. According to the following article – Manny and Mayweather have signed the contract, they will be knocking gloves on March 13th. The only unknown right now is where it’s going to be. There’s a real push to get the Cowboy’s huge new stadium as [...]

I saw this article today and was stoked. The target date is May 1st, 2010, and if it’s made it will be the biggest fight possibly revenue-wise in the history of Boxing… The fight will happen, obviously the only thing left on the table are the splits and where it’ll happen. For our sake, we [...]

After our recent trip to Vegas, I got hit in the head with the reality that I really need to lose the weight, AND keep the weight off. I’ve been able to lose weight but I’ve managed to pack them back on in a matter of 6 months and I’m sick and tired of going [...]

  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 [...]

I finally found a few spare minutes to drop a post into this pitiful blog. I’m literally writing this post for my own benefit as I’ve probably alienated everyone else that bothered to spend 30 seconds on my site. I think I’ve gotten the site to where I want it visually, so now all it [...]

Lots n’ lots of stuff has happened in the past month and needs to be put into the blog (plus various threats from some readers that the site just plain sucks). Most of my recent updates have been dropped into Facebook or Twitter, which explains the lack of updates on the site. It’s about 2:48am [...]

Wishing all of you safe and Merry New Year! We’ll be staying in on NYE to save some $$$, then off to the slopes tomorrow to spend it. Look for a new me in 2009 ( dang if it was 2003 that would totally rhyme – oh well). b-side UPDATE So we TRIED to make [...]
