Right now the plan includes:

* Starting Couch To 5K., with the sessions done in the morning. This isn't so much for endurance, per se, as I'm better there than I have been in some time via Crossfit, but for conditioning my legs and shins with the new Minimus shoes for straight running. Also, to be perfectly honest, it'll serve as a morning ( Read more... )

Just as something to do, for in cases of lifedrift, it's better to do something than nothing, I'm trying to choose which personal trainers certificate to work towards. I'm hoping for one that's geared more towards strength training, but I don't want to spend too long deciding. After all, any is better than none.

I might do the benchmark Crossfit workout "Linda" tomorrow. At least a scaled version ( Read more... )

So, I did a full Crossfit workout in my new NB Minumus trail shoes, and they performed admirably. Love 'em, at least for now.

Took a short, 400 meter run in them afterwards, and, well, felt it. Defintiely gonna have to condition my feet and legs to it. It did indeed allow for a more natural forefoot-striking stride pretty easily, but when you ( Read more... )

Remember how just a post or two ago, I mocked the footwear d'jour of the Paleo/Primal crown, Vibram Five Fingers? Well, I think they look ridiculous, and I don't care of people told me I'd live an extra 20 years by wearing them, I ain't interested ( Read more... )

Going along with the ol' Paleo-compliant post just prior, I figured I'd take a moment to note my love for Larabars. These suckers are great. I guess they all have seven or less ingredients in them, and many only have three or four. And they're tasty as all getup ( Read more... )

So. Paleo.

I'm kinda frustrated with the Paleo "culture", but the diet itself sounds more solid all the time. Whether or not it's the way a caveman would have actually eaten (note: it likely isn't much), there's little denying that a diet based on mostly meats and vegetable, with a little fat and some fruit and nuts and seeds, tends to do a body ( Read more... )

This is where I'm going to start chronicling all of my half-baked ideas about how I want to change my whole life. Some will be practical, some will be fanciful. Some will be stupid, and some I'll barely mean. Some will seem ludicrous and I'll be dead serious about. Think of it as a jonsewell blackbox processing core.

Hope you've all been well
