Crossfit OnRamp Day 8, Wednesday morning, and nothing is terribly sore to start out with. I’m excited, a workout where I’m coming in “relatively” fresh! The warm-up we began with seemed pretty reasonable. Three consecutive sets of: 20 jumping...

Monday morning, time for on-ramp workout day 7. Before I get into that, though, a precursor about the weekend should probably be in order. If you’ve read my post about Day 6, I was feeling reasonably OK when I left the gym. And that evening. But that night...

Start of day 6 (Friday morning) and I’m beginning in pretty bad shape. My back just ached the entire day before, it hurt so much I had trouble sleeping at night, and this morning it’s worse, if that’s even possible. So I started stretching about an...

Following Monday’s workout, I found myself a bit sore on Tuesday, with some pretty sore legs by Wednesday. Despite the soreness, I was excited to see how the second day would go. I got up early, got a banana in me for a bit of fuel (still taking it easy on...

So after a couple years of sitting on my rear-end writing and chasing little ones, coupled with a wife who’s a great cook, I’ve fallen WAY out of shape, and my weekly volleyball match isn’t nearly enough exercise. So I finally bit the bullet and...

It’s been a crazy couple months, but last night I finished up the flipped class videos covering the entire AP Physics C: Mechanics curriculum. My goal was to try and target all the major points of the course requirements in roughly 6 hours worth of videos,...

It’s been several months of planning, thinking, dreaming, taking notes, etc., but I recently finished my outline for my first novel, “Entanglement.” Entanglement is a Sci-Fi novel set in the near future about a man whose wife and daughter are taken...
