The down side to getting old

Posted 12-20-2009 at 09:27 AM by Jeff

Is there really an up side?

Anyway - I've been working out like a man possessed lately - lots of cardio work at least 5 days a week, and just started mixing in weights.

And then my right knee came a-calling. In my right knee I have a medial meniscus that looks like a pumpkin about two weeks after Halloween: misshapen and ugly. It's been in various stages of decay since I was about 18, but it hadn't been bothering me for at least two years. Until yesterday.

Chucking the Heart Rate Monitor

Posted 12-05-2009 at 03:16 PM by Jeff

Call it a mid-life crisis. Call it a grand cardiovascular experiment. Call it a middle-age guy growing tired of waiting until next year before he finally gets off his ass and starts making himself trim and healthy.

If you don't already know from having read my posts, stress is my main trigger for PVCs (and now PAT / PSVT). Stress had been piling on since about October, and when late January came around I was just about non-functional.

When I went in to have it connected for the first time, I was very nervous. As the nurse was explaining...

Whew!

Posted 04-21-2009 at 11:11 PM by Jeff

I've been putting in some late nights working to get this site's theme set and coded and all the little add-ons ready to go. It felt like it was an overwhelming task

just a few weeks ago, but now it looks like there's far more work behind me than ahead of me.
