Day six of getting in shape
Fallling back to the wimp category allowed me to finish the Week 1, Day 3 workout of the hundredpushups.com plan but just barely. I did five sets of pushups (4,5,4,4,5) and I just barely managed to do the fifth pushup in the last set. Although the plan is six weeks long, I suspect that I’ll…

Day three of the exercise program
It’s cold and rainy today, but I ventured outdoors to do the workout from Week 1, Day 2 of the Couch-to-5K running program. I did a five-minute warm-up walk, followed by 20 minutes where I alternated 60 seconds of jogging with 90 seconds of walking. By the end of it my fingers ached, but I…

Happy Monday 🙁
I did Week 1, Day 1 of the hundred pushups program this morning. I didn’t do very well. I did five sets (6,6,4,4,1). The last set I was supposed to max out but do at least five. I only managed to do one. And the bathroom scales say that I weigh 280 pounds this morning.…

Starbucks
Starbucks, originally uploaded by tdouthat. Good evening from the 23rd Street Starbucks. Michelle and I are sitting here while she drinks her $5 caramal macchiatto. In college, I used to hang out at a coffee house in Columbia on occasion and listen to the open-mic nights. I must be getting old because I can’t remember…

Football season begins
Football season begins, originally uploaded by tdouthat. It’s been a nice cool cloudy night for the Chrisman Jamboree. The Bears played serieses (sp? Plural of series) against Fort Osage, Kearney, and Oak Grove. They were all stiff competition. The Bears will have to work hard to win district again this year.

Summer in Corporate Woods
Summer in Corporate Woods, originally uploaded by tdouthat. Here’s a picture I took from the fourth floor training room at work. I spent a few minutes of my lunch break marvelling at expanse of green covering the hills of eastern Kansas. Too bad its so hot that I can’t go outside to enjoy it without…

Learning to blog from my phone
Learning to blog from my phone, originally uploaded by tdouthat. I’ve had to correct the setup of my Flickr account so that I can email a picture and a few paragraphs to my flickr account and they will post it on my blog for me. For my first trick, here’s a picture of a fat…
