I missed the last 2 days because of life got in the way.. I just finished a Keno X workout so that brings my total of workout this year to 72.. In the last 10 days I have worked out 8 times.. I don't think that is bad..
I added a new page to my other blog.. It is favorite links. It has on it all of my online presences.
I am so tired of this weather.. We had a great weekend upper 50's. It
was a little chilly but the sun was out and it felt great.. Now look.. I
have a bicycle ride on Saturday that I will probably not be going on
now.. Spin class here I come..
I have 59 workouts this year out of 92 days that is 65% of the days..
Not great but I have been definitely doing better at either getting to
the gym or at least doing some sort of workout. I got my bicycle out on
Saturday and did 16 miles. It was very cold, the bright sun was
deceiving.. I was almost in an accident... I am not sure who's fault it
would be... Mine or the deer.. Yes I said DEER.. I was on the
multipurpose path (no, not called bicycle path) I was looking in my
mirror on my helmet seeing if the child behind me was going to take down
her mom by pulling on her. I was looking for about 5 seconds.. I looked
up and 5 feet in front of me and just crossed over the path was a huge
deer.. If I was watching I would have been scared out of my mind.. I
wonder if the deer had insurance?
Here is the skit that we did at the winter campout for the Adventure Princess program. I was lucky enough to be filming this instead of being the one that was at the end of the skit..
I have been stepping it up with my workouts lately.. I did a P90X
Polymetrics on Saturday with Morgan and my hamstrings are killing me.
There were about a billion lunges.. Ok maybe not a billion but I sure it
was a million.. I only have 18 days until my first scheduled bicycle
ride. I am planning on taking my mountain bike.
Saturday, 4/12. THINK SPRING. Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A free tour
with three rolling routes from which to choose: 15-mile trail ride or
25/35-mile road ride through the park. Hot soup and chili provided,

Dr.; Twinsburg, OH 44087. (216) 337-1051.
It is that time again. The Tour De Cure is coming and I am once again asking for people to sponsor me.. I am going to do the 100K Challenge ride again. Last year I ended up walking 2 of the hills and riding up all the others... I am not going to walk any this year!!! So I am committed to getting in more miles/spin classes in then I did last year. Keep up to date with my progress at http://web.mac.com/razab9394/Randy/My_Active_World/My_Active_World.html?27ff2a58 .
Now to your part, Diabetes is a growing epidemic in the United States. I see the children at my daughters elementary school and so many of them are at increased risk for diabetes by being overweight. Not only do we need to find a cure but until then we need to get awareness of the dangers of being a overweight and not being active. I am sure you have heard of Juvenile Diabetes, this is not what I am talking about, I am talking about "Adult Onset Diabetes" (Type2) in children. Parents don't think that they will become a Diabetic because of their unhealthy living let alone their elementary school child.
I know that everyone is concerned with the economy at this time . Did you stop by Starbuck's today? Planning on going out to eat tonight, this weekend? I am not asking for your paycheck, mortgage payment or even your car payment. All I am asking is for you not to go out one night and donate that money to fight diabetes . Here is the link to do just that http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC270418030?pg=personal&fr_id=5027&fr_id=5027&px=1739696 . My Daughter Morgan (9 Years old) is also riding the TDC , here is her link http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC270418030?pg=personal&fr_id=5027&fr_id=5027&px=2778353
If you absolutely cannot donate money, how about time? How about being a Volunteer to help out at your local Tour De Cure ride or dust off your bicycle and join a team ?

Today is January 11th.. In the last wee I have worked out 5 times.. Not
bad. It was 4 cardio workouts using the elliptical trainer, vertical
climber, arc trainer and a spin class. One other work out was working
out with the nautilus machines. I was able to string 4 workouts in a
row.. Yea.. Talking to some at the gym this morning had a great comment
about working out.."A piece of cheesecake will always be more
comfortable then the weight bench"..
