Overwhelmed
By fatman at 31 March, 2008, 10:08 pm
Today I was overwhelmed with work. I fell asleep exhausted at 8PM. Did no exercise. Sometimes life gets in the way. I didn’t want to take today off, but since I have its as good a day as any. I’ll now try to get out and move every other day this week.

Denied
By fatman at 30 March, 2008, 4:13 pm
Today I was denied by a few things: over-eagerness, residual technique, lack of fitness and Black Lake hill. Sheri skied early today and told me the conditions were great on the Black Lake section of the parkway. She skied 3hrs today. She also said the parking lots were jammed and it would be easier to [...]

I really want an apple TV #
I saw a guy riding up fortune hill today in the snow. Dedication or stupidity? #
Yesterday I saw a porcupine sitting in a snowbank eating a banana peel from a compost. #
I wish Ottawa had good normal health food stores. Instead of ones only for fucking hippies. #
I’m not sure I want winter to end

Today I did a 1hr xc-ski. The conditions were incredible. Its -4C here today, not a cloud in the sky. Snow has melted and re-frozen a bit and been groomed and skied. This makes for this sugary consistency that is fantastic to ski on. Too bad I spent most of the ski doing the fatman [...]

Rest day
By fatman at 28 March, 2008, 5:19 pm
I’m not doing any exercise today. I’m resting. A lot of exercisaholics don’t realize that proper recovery is as important as ‘training’. I’ve done 4 days of light exercise, and I’m feeling pretty good. Recovery is a lot like re-fueling while you exercise, you know the saying : “drink before you’re thirsty, eat before you’re [...]

Today I had three awkward and difficult conversations. One with TD Waterhouse. one work related, with a colleague. And one with the worst wireless service provider on the planet. The last one was with customer service at the wireless provider and I lost it, said mean things and actually hung up on the person. [...]

By fatman at 27 March, 2008, 8:06 pm
OK, I went to the gym. I admit it. Sheri had a credit with our local gym owner for some pet care service she did in exchange for gym time. Of course we’ve never used it yet because for the last three years I’ve been lazy and fat. So today we went and got set [...]

Read More >>A short ski
By fatman at 26 March, 2008, 7:31 pm
I went for a short ski today. 35mins, with Sheri. It was an awesome day, sunny and pretty warm. It snowed yesterday and then froze a bit today, so it was choppy and a bit rutted from previous skiers. I stacked it hard going down hill when my ski got caught in a rut. That [...]

Today I rode the trainer. It took a while to drag all the crap out of the basement. I like to have things setup just so: need a fan, need music, need a matt under the trainer, need a towel on the bars, need the digits. Digits are critical to not going mental on the [...]

With a 24 min run. I don’t know how much I weigh. I dressed like a dork. Went out around 5PM. The sun was low in the sky. I Felt all right. I Ran north to the Larrimac Golf Club, and back. I couldn’t run up the hill to my house at the end. The [...]

By fatman at 22 March, 2008, 12:41 pm
I guess you could say I started Saturday, with a ski. But it was pretty short. I went with Sheri and three dogs. I’ve had this nagging pain in my shoulder joint for a couple of years. Since I’m fat and don’t exercise it doesn’t really bother me. But when I ski, I have to [...]
