I made it to 44...
This look familar to anyone?
Yeah, because of my foolish nature, I went ahead and tried this thing out…
I made it to 44…
By 44 my legs were numb, my body was shaking, and I was miserable…
Greatest. Feeling. In. The. World.
Because of this lovely finding, I now have a rather balanced workout schedule from Monday through Friday:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 2 Mile run (adding...

Mental Medication
Sometimes in life the shoes need to put up, the sweatband hung up, and a closer workout needs to be looked at in the psychological veiwing.
Health isn’t always about the physical world (try and tell a guy that).
It does have a significant percentage in the mental wellness area. While working out physically I was missing out on the mental action. More specifically with my wife. We tend to...

1 of those days...
As stated below, the two hours of sleep haven’t got me yet. However, my wife coming down with some insane virus has. So, I’ve nearly missed lunch (next on my list, after a call about a future job), and I’m needed near my wife constantly. My random core set that I figured up this morning looks more and more like a possibilty.
The snow is starting tonight, so a run tomorrow is in...

Rough Night
Couldn’t sleep, must be from the upcoming snow. Not even thirty degrees out, wind chill around 11, slept for a grand total of two hours last night. Did eat breakfast though. Have a 1/2 day teaching at the school, running outside looks like it’ll be a challenge/borderline unsafe these next few days. Not sure what to do, the Lolo Jones insanity, perhaps pushups, I have a few spare...

Good Afternoon Ya’ll,

Breakfast:
1 XL Egg Overhard 1 Cup of Key Lime Yogurt 1 Glass (no idea on measurement) of Cranberry Juice
Lunch:
1 Can of...

1 mile run around the local track (completed in nine minutes)
1/2 mile walk back home from the local track
Lolo Jones core workout
Needless to say I’m feeling a little bit of it, primarily the core workout. I...

What Have I Found?
To Those Whose Eyes Come Across This Text:
Greetings! My name is Shawn, I also go by “D” from my teams and my students. I live in the middle of nowhere, meaning the state of Missouri, and I’ve decided to tackle the attempts of creating something unique in the tumblr world.
There is a point to this ‘blog’, if that’s what tumblr is.
I’m overweight.
