Geeks Heart Running at SXSW

So I am totally flinching off of Cindy Li's Geeks Heart Bowling escapade from last year, but I think it would be cool if there was a little 5k organized for Sunday morning. I was playing with routes. It could start on 1st & Trinity, and headed south west along the river path (there may be a local name for it, I don't know) and turned around at about the bridge at Fiesta Gardens. I've never organized a run before, but it could be fun. I am hoping to have it be part of the schedule, though I know that GHB and Tantek's other child, Geeks Heart Climbing, weren't official.

On vacation..

Even though we're on vacation in Denver, I was able to do my push up schedule. I think every time we go on a trip, I bring exercise clothes and then ignore the hell out of them. This time, since we're only going to be gone a day, I decided not to bring anything, and needed to work out this morning like no ones business. My Wii Fit was calling me when I woke up, but it wasn't near. So I continued my hundred push ups regiment and stretched. Had to stretch a lot because the bed was so damn comfy after a long drive. Now I can go back to sleep.

Morning workouts are bitter sweet

On the one hand, you're excercising. On the other hand, you're awake at five in the morning. Last nights hockey was fun. I didn't score any points, but we beat the first place team. I also got to play defense, which is rare because the team captain doesn't think I have the ability. Not that he's entirely wrong, but still that's not a nice thing to say. I blocked a shot and of course the puck found its way through my pads to hit my thigh pretty hard. There's already a small lump there and it should bruise up quite nicely.
 

100 Pushups Tracking

So I am a follower, as you all may know. I have decided to jump on the program from hundredpushups.com. This site is training so people can do 100 pushups in a single rep. It's a really nice program and I think it will fit in nicely with my Wii fitness.

I started to blog about this, but decided it would be best to track from a single page. I'll still do my blog entries, for no other reason than to keep a better blog presense. But here wil be my official results page that is linked from the main site.

100 push ups.. Day 3

Today was day three of my first week of 100 Push ups training. Last nights hockey was mellow, or I just wasn't trying, so I was able to get up in the morning and not make excuses. I did my morning Wii Fit. Today I did the long run, which is just as boring as the short run, only longer. I also did the Super Hula Hoop for a while. I am pretty sure I look like a tard but I sure do enjoy the imaginary Hula Hoop. After that I did a little yoga, till I reached thirty minutes for the day. I did reach a milestone on Wii Fit. At ten hours, your little Fit-Bank turns bronze and cheers you on.

100 Pushups!

So I am a follower, as you all may know. I have decided to jump on the program from hundredpushups.com. This site is training so people can do 100 pushups in a single rep. It's a really nice program and I think it will fit in nicely with my Wii fitness. I started on Monday, and my initial test came up with 24 push-ups. Kinda sad. That puts me in the "Level 3" area. The training is a six week program, three days a week. The workout is 5 sets of push-ups, with varying repetition requirements based on your level.

Today's 5k.

Today I ran the first 5k of the year. It was a super nice day, so a run on the Albuquerque Bosque. However, the people who organized the run.. well, they weren't organized. They had a package pickup that ran for the last two days, but you had to pick up your chip this morning, before the run. So there was a big crowd at that table. Then the actual race start was across a muddy construction area, to a different road than where the chip table was. The race went around the construction, to the Montano bosque parking area, and then across the river, to the bosque trail.

more rants because I am a horrible blog type guy

So I am sitting at Crazy Crocs, drinking and it's too loud to talk so I decided to write in my blog. How big of a nerd am I?

iPhone rants

So I am sitting at Jiffy Lube writting in my site, thanks to the wonderful iPhone. I haven't tried to jailbreak it mainly because I am going to wait for what the 1.3 firmware update brings to the table. Here's a list of things I would like to see.

1. A flash plug-in. I know I tend to mock my friend Paul about how his site is all drag and drop, but flash is pretty much important to the web. I mean there are more YouTube videos embedded in other sites. And I want to be able to Scrabblous (sp) when not at home.

Site flipped

So after having this new web server for about 9 months, I have finally transfered my domain to it. I still have my old server through Primehost, and that can be viewed, and referenced trough mark-and-angie.com. So if for some reason I am storing something for you on teampoop.com, and it's missing or broken, give a looksie over there. Of course if it's missing AND broken, well then you should really consider hiring someone smart to host stuff for you.
