blog entries.  The last two nights I have stair walked and moved shelf-loads of books and other household gear so carpet layers to do their thing and refurbish the apartment. The stairs were good for workout, but nowhere near as effective as pounding the road. This weekend I am away with the kids to a water theme park. Hope the weathers good…the only exercise will be swimming. Well, this is my hundreth entry…I must acknowledge VTdad for the ongoing support and the mysterious people who visit but leave no words, no name, just a statistic…..many thanks to you all.

only a 35min run tonight and no gym…got kids, must keep an eye on them. I will devise a home workout using the old dumb bells tomorrow and if really necessary I will walk up and down the stairs for an hour.

Pizza night did not hold me back from a 45 minute run. The run tonight felt better than last night, with less weight in the legs.No gym tonight.The next 7 days will be a challenge as I am alone with the kids and will need to figure out how to keep them supervised without missing exercise. I love pizza… 

Thats Samoan for 50…the amount of minutes I ran tonight at max steady state. Felt it in my legs, mycalves felt fat and heavy…ran for 40 last night maybe a rest day tomorrow. We will see… No gym tonight, I had dinner with wife and kids at a Mongolian restaurant before the wife heads to NY. Drank a gallon of corn soup, ate some meat and veg and a slice of chocolate cake. Thats why I ran lima sefulu minute.

I ran 35 mins and did a chest workout last night. I couldn’t post because of connection problems.Will head out later tonight for a 40min+ effort and probably shoulder workout…more later.

did my chin-ups and rows for the back and then ran through the city streets as it was raining. I only managed 30 minutes on the raod as I have not run since the 21 Jan. I was in Guam the past fortnight, too hot to run during the day and you take your life into your hands running along the roads at night. Great place though…biggest K-mart in the world..although the real highlight is the people, landscape and culture. Plenty of US Air force and Navy there too. Everyone kept asking me if I was military…"hell no!" I said. "I’m Samoan".
