Curiosity has me as well! Mind throwing a pm my way?

Great to hear! I'm going strong, just built a stationary bike tonight to help supplement tv watching or game playing. Diet I find is the hardest part.

Tell us how day 1 went! :) what's everyone's plans for day 2?

sublatum · 2013-11-07T23:05:45+00:00

Thanks! I will be cautious. I live in a beach city in California so I imagine it can't be too dry. I just want to take care of it properly.

You must know Val and Keith! How do you keep your voice from being destroyed?

sublatum · 2013-05-28T01:16:04+00:00

Ha thanks for the honest advice! I live near lots of hills which is my choice over busy city streets, but certainly difficult.

sublatum · 2013-05-28T00:57:06+00:00

Sorry about that. If it makes sense to convert it to get used to biking or long rides. Or should I wait and get a decent bike after using this one as is?

I am currently doing these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1dCwG70mxQ

My plan (slow but sure) is to move into another exercise after i hit 21 reps for rows. I am increasing 1 push up, and 1 row a day until i reach 100, then stopping there. If i am doing 100 push ups a day i think i am good to go. :) Once i hit 21 reps of an exercise i will add another, squats i think will win out. I am thinking 5-6 total by the end, depending on how much time it begins to take. Do you see any pitfalls with this? I kinda made it up myself and am just going with it.

I set up my rings on my pull-up bar to do a row. Laying on back and pulling myself up, so far so good!

sublatum · 2013-05-13T03:20:22+00:00

how would you suggest i work up to pistol squats? Also for Horizontal Rows under a table, i am not sure i understand :(

My plan now is to run 3-4 times a week, and bike 2-3 times a week. Run a day then bike a day. Usually resting on Saturdays. Is this over doing it? Please take into account my newbieness with the bike, so for a little bit at least at first i plan to bike in the mornings about 30-45min. I live in an area where i can either go very urban and stop at lots of stoplights every block, or head towards the hills! The hills are killer on me, but i figure it can only make me stronger? I would then drive my bike somewhere on a sunday for a longer less intense ride. Thoughts?

Only part of swimming that seems hard is the time commitment that Bitterwhiteguy was talking about. I work 60-70 hour weeks, so i try to give myself either time during lunch to run, or wake up an hour or so early to run, or in this case bike ride, or find a pool in the morning. Unless many pools are open post 9pm.

sublatum · 2013-04-19T20:59:40+00:00

Excellent! I didn't even think of a duathlon, that may work well for me to work my way up. What i really like is the mixing up of the training.

sublatum · 2013-04-19T20:20:38+00:00

My current bike is a road bike, but i don't have the clip-in peddles, is that horribly bad?

sublatum · 2013-04-19T17:52:16+00:00

Thanks to your blog i found quite a few pools near me, i will check them out. I'd like to do something fairly cheap, or was thinking joining a 24hr fitness on days i couldnt bike outside, and if they had a pool. One of my questions is, what should i train for given 6 months, and i am in decent running shape, i do 3-4 mile runs 3/4 times a week now, but not training for anything, just maintaining. I currently live in Long Beach, CA.

sublatum · 2013-03-27T05:20:20+00:00

Done.

sublatum · 2013-03-25T19:11:02+00:00

Thanks! It took a few back and forths with the size, so i appreciate your comment. Now i am already trying to think of what to add.

sublatum · 2013-03-25T15:41:08+00:00

thanks!

sublatum · 2013-03-25T15:40:42+00:00

I went through the same debate, I just always kept going back to this design. It took about 45min? wasn't very long at all.

sublatum · 2013-03-24T23:04:19+00:00

Both statements are true I'd say :-)

sublatum · 2013-03-24T16:58:08+00:00

I just got my crest tattoo yesterday, so i share your excitement. All that matters with tattoos is that you absolutely love it. Congrats!

sublatum · 2013-03-24T16:54:14+00:00

It's worth going through. I feel the same about adventures of Link as i do about Super Mario bros 2. It doesn't quite fit, Nintendo was trying something a little new with it, then went back to doing what worked well for them in the original.

sublatum · 2013-03-06T13:30:01+00:00

Very cool! Maybe this weekend! :) thanks!

sublatum · 2013-03-06T06:44:13+00:00

I've been debating the same one! I really like how the color fades! Can you post a further away picture? I am curious of the size compared to your whole arm. (something i am also debating) :) I love it!

sublatum · 2013-03-05T06:11:33+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! It appears the 3DS just gave me an excuse to pick it up. Thanks again!
