Initial impressions of the TomTom Adventurer Outdoor GPS Watch
March 31, 2017
I am sorry about not posting for so long. I was really sick over the Winter and am finally on the mend. In the meanwhile, my Fitbit Surge broke and I have been making it work with a Fitbit Zip. Last week I received the new TomTom Adventurer Outdoor GPS Watch to review from the gang at TomTom. It arrived […]
Upgrade your Concept2 indoor rower to a PM5 today
December 9, 2016
If you have a Concept2 erg and haven’t retrofitted your Model A, B, C, D, or E Indoor Rower to the PM5 performance monitor, I most highly recommend the splurge of $160-$180, depending on the model of your rowing machine. Turnkey wireless everything you’ll need, including ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart. So now, heart rate monitors and […]

Took a nice four mile run around the National Mall today
January 31, 2016
My girlfriend has been pushing me to get outside and get more active. I love her for that. Today, after completing an hour of Solidcore she joined me in my car and we drove to the National Mall and proceeded to run together around the entire National Mall. Well, she can run a lot faster than […]
Two laps around Roosevelt Island
January 16, 2016
I was excited to do two laps in one go around Theodore Roosevelt Island! It was muddy but not nearly as muddy as we thought it would be. Besides, when this lovely gem of a trail run that’s only minutes away from where we live and with plenty of parking, any muck, mire, and […]
My love affair with the kettlebell
October 16, 2015
I don’t know where my obsession began. I believe I can thank James Harris of XSport Fitness on Columbia Pike in Columbia Heights, Arlington, VA. When he was my personal trainer a couple years ago he threw everything at me: suicides, burpies, heavy rope, bear crawls, and strange cannonballs with handles on them: kettlebells. I […]
