As many of you know, I have a reasonably silly sense of humor. It is that very sense of humor that led me to commission the lovely (and lovely) artist Shauna Bauer to paint this year’s Hell Walk 3 poster. I told her exactly what I wanted, and she faithfully...

On May 25 of this year, I will start Hell Walking for the third year in a row. The new wrinkle this year, of course, is that other folks will be joining me. While everyone who competes in Hell Walk 3 will receive money for their charity just for participating,...

Well…I didn’t make it. Not even that close actually, which is a bit of a bummer. In the final summation, I just didn’t have enough time and — frankly — I wasted some of the time that I had. The final results for the week were: Calories Burned – 7766...

It was a reasonably good day, but I had hoped to get soooo much more done. As is often the case, there just wasn’t enough time. Woke up early (but should have woken up earlier), but then had to miss my evening workout because, simply put, a friend needed me...

Today ended up being a pretty blah of a day. Was exhausted from yesterday so I slept in this morning. Then attended a work event in the evening, so I only had a little time to get in some exercise tonight. Which leaves me with a big Friday (just set...

Today was exactly the kind of day I was worried I might have this week — spending 14 hours at the office while still trying to get in enough exercise to keep my 10,000 calorie goal in sight. I didn’t exactly blow it away today, but I did do a...

Hello Hell Walk Nation! The Hell Walk 3 10,000 continues! Today, I had to move over to the bike because the last few days of breaking in my new sneakers has left a growing blister on my left foot. It’s not terrible, but I figured it was better to not...

All things considered, I thought I had a really good day. Been staying on the east side of town for the last week taking care of a friend’s boisterous dog. While fun, the extra driving has taken a bite out of my morning training time and the same happened this...

As I mentioned last Friday, the next 7 days are going to be totally directed towards one goal — burning 10,000 calories in one week (wherein I will, hopefully, make up for some of the training time that I have lost recently). Today started off pretty well. Got in a...

As those of you who have been keeping up with Hell Walk 3 already know, this has been a TOUGH 2013 in terms of getting any training done. Either I’m sick with the flu, I’m working long hours or both. Don’t get me wrong — I LOVE my job and...
