Continue reading →: Pull-ups, Body Recomposition and Weight LossLast year, I weighed myself and was shocked to see 166 pounds on the scale. How did I let myself go so far? I couldn’t even do a single pull-up, which meant my strength-to-weight ratio was terribly off. My pull-up failure, coupled with my burgeoning waistline and the impending arrival…

I rode this during Week 8 of the 2007 LKHC season, ascending the 3.66 mile, 1759 foot climb in 38:34. Based on my my performance last week at Montebello Road, I knew that I could beat that time;…

I had been doing some serious running (and to a lesser extent biking and swimming) over the past two months, coupled with changes in my diet,…

Continue reading →: Running, Half Marathons and Weight LossWhen I was a freshman in high school, I ran the San Dieguito Half Marathon. I have only a few memories from the race.

At the Re/code launch party last night, Orange Photography, had a slo-mo photography booth set up. Rae, Felix, and I put on our best Odd Job impressions at several hundreds of frames per second. They had a Canon 24-70mm lens attached to what looked like a Sony NEX-FS700U videocamera.

Continue reading →: New Balance Minimus HI-REZ ShoesFor the past several years, my running shoes of choice have been the Puma H Streets. These are a favorite of the POSE running crowd, although they were never meant to be used as running shoes. Today, they are harder to find in my size (women’s size 10, since I…
