Old Dog Marathon Runner

Long time fitness buff. While never being truly overweight, I have a hard time keeping my body fat percentage under control. I continue to strength train several times a week.

Started running September, 2011, as a means to lose weight. I enjoyed it so much that I soon started participating in races. My first was a 5K on Dec 1. 2011.

Hello Vic. I have been a little quiet on Spark lately....a little stressed. I am doing well with my weight. Slacking off on my running (I volunteer in the cafeteria at my son's school and it is taking a toll on me emotionally). I now see how bad things happen in the schools and end up on the evening news. Sigh

I will have more free time this summer to spark.

Hi Buddy,

Thanks for your comment on my "Surly Cross-Check" blog. You are right. there is so little time so we have to pick-and-choose how we spend our time. For me, bikes are fun and a great way to get a low-impact workout. I live in a place that is very bike friendly.

I am a mountain biker and live in a place that is full of "epic" trails. I ride on the road because it is fun and a great way to increase my aerobic threshold. Mountain biking improves explosive power.

Because of the way I ride, I get a full body workout.

I also run. I love to run. I lift weights. I like lifting.

I am glad you find my bike blogs interesting.

Thanks, Bruce
