Alburtis-to-Green Lane 50 Mile Loop
After finally getting my bike back from Cycles BiKyle, I decided to take a nice, hilly ride and test out their work. The ride follows most of the Quad Country Metric ride by Suburban Cyclists and just under 4000 feet of climbing. One of the things that I realized on this ride is that after …

A Good Start…
Diet Last week I decided to start using the TheDailyPlate on LiveStrong.com since I was not getting anywhere losing weight and I have had good success with this tool in the past.

And We’re Off…Kind Of
Finally, the holidays are over and we are quickly into the new year. I am off to a bit of a sluggish start in 2012. I was hoping to be down a few lbs. by now, strength training with regularity, and working on my running speedwork. Instead I am up 10 lbs and strength training …
