Gym Etiquette

Today I went to the gym for two of my three workouts… oh that sounds like a big deal, but really it was a light day (only 90 minutes, 30 of which were commuting on my bike to the gym)… In the process I was reminded about the delicate balance of gym etiquette. In fact I was a party to two cases of poor gym etiquette, one case where I was an innocent bystander, and another case where I was accused of being a perpetrator of poor etiquette.

I thought I would document these cases, in a sense to acknowledge my faux pas, or maybe to ask the wisdom of the community as to exactly how big of a deal these breaches really are… Read the rest of this entry »

Crazy Steep Hills!

Map of Simonds RoadToday I took on my craziest hill effort on my fixie. Now I’m sure that if some serious critical mass style fixie rider ever finds this post, they will laugh at this claim… but for me, this was a serious hill workout. Simonds Road in Kirkland is a notoriously steep hill. I’ve ridden it a couple times on my road bike, but it’s not really a road you’d ever have to go on to get anywhere, so I find you’d really only ride it if you intentionally want to inflict pain on yourself or your riding partners. Today was one of those days… I wanted to hurt!

Me in 2002 - 200lbsThis is my fitness blog. Some people who knew me a long time ago may wonder, what the heck I'm doing writing a blog about fitness. Many of them wouldn't imagine that I'd have anything to do with fitness. You see, up until age 34, I treated my body very poorly. I sat around at home, at work, at play. I ate junk food and lots of it. And the result was what you'd expect 5'4" and 200 lbs with 36% body fat. (more...)
