I absolutely hate how my body loves fat. It is like there is a great love affair between my fat cells and calories. They just can’t get enough.
This year certainly isn’t like last year. Last year, while I didn’t ride as much as I should have, I still managed to [...]

I wasn’t very happy to receive a phone call at 1:30 a.m. asking me to come into work. I groggily went in, did my thing, and came home. This whole process kept me out of bed for about two hours. To add to the disappointment, I had a difficult time falling back [...]

Up In Alaska: Jill’s Subarctic Journal is one of my favorite blogs. Jill is a journalist who is currently promoting her book, Ghost Trails: Journeys through a lifetime.
What I enjoy about Jill’s blog is that she is someone I can relate to – someone who lives in snow land and likes to [...]

Everything was packed, from my freshly waxed skis to my sauna towel to my shampoo and conditioner. I was good to go. I got out of class and, as I was walking to my car, I realized that I had forgotten my ski cap and my gator. Go figure.

Satellite and cable television offer the weird opportunity to watch television shows in an odd manner, such as three episodes of House in a row. That is what I did before writing this. After House, I found Grey’s Anatomy on Lifetime, right where I left off before I could no longer watch it [...]

I knew I had to make today happen, rather than [...]

It probably comes to no surprise by you that cycling is a top priority for me. However, it is taking a backseat, today. It is almost painful. It is beautiful and warm in the Keweenaw. It is almost 70 degrees F. I really want to ride. I need to [...]

It’s Monday, so this is the first day of the week for me. I rode for two hours and forty minutes. This is a great start to reaching that ten hour mark! I rode Churning Rapids, again, and managed to squeeze out a little more mileage. I hit twenty. Man, [...]

I was going to set out for a long ride, but thunderstorms were forecasted. Instead, I weight trained for 75 minutes – it’s been a while – and I pulled up some grass where my garden was going to reside, now resides . . . yes, I know it’s late. The gardening caused [...]

My parents have been visiting this week. That’s part of the reason why I haven’t been riding. They’re leaving bright and early, tomorrow morning. What does this mean? It means I’m riding my bike tomorrow.
My plan is to ride to Michigan Tech, do some loops, and ride back. [...]
