I was in the gym this morning, running on the treadmill. It’s snowing again here. Even with the snow, the gym was pretty crowded. Everyone getting that last workout before New Year’s Eve Revelry, I suppose. I logged 3.5 miles this morning in about 45 minutes. Since my running has been somewhat sporadic over...

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. I resolved a long time ago that making those resolutions would just end in a blazing spiral of disappointment the minute I slid off my resolve. And we all slide off of our resolve now and again. But lots of other people do make New Year’ s resolutions....

I didn’t exercise today. Well, I moved the broken treadmill out of my room. That was tricky, and hard, so maybe I got a little exercise. What I did do today though was something I should have done a long time ago. I cleaned out all of my old clothes and bagged them up...

If someone ever said to me “Get down there and give me 200 crunches!” my reply would probably be “Seriously? I don’t think so.” 200 crunches sounds daunting, doesn’t it? I’ve read articles about celebrities who keep their flat stomachs by doing 200 crunches a day. Not for me, no way. Last night was...
