Found a use for my Trek 7.1 fx

After buying a new road bike and mountain bike, I figured I'd eventually try to sell my 7.1 fx. But a couple of friends' kids are always begging to take their bikes to the park and ride. So, I've...

I guess if I grew up where there were leash laws and dogs had to be contained, I'd be a lot more leery. But I've walked, rode motorcycles, biked, and driven past thousands of dogs in Southeast Texas...

I lift twice a week. One day I do squat, bench press, bent over rows, and dips. Later in the week I do squat, overhead press, deadlift, and pullups. All except deadlift are 5 sets of 5 reps (5x5). 2...

I guess I'm going to go buy a scale. I threw my last on away when I moved, because I weigh too often. I just use the one at the gym. I'll be editing this post with stats and goals in a bit.

Oh yeah. Also to be credit card debt free. This might...

Yep. Pizza is one of my downfalls. Sometimes I have to do service work at Sam's Clubs. It's so easy at lunch to just go get a big slice of pizza and a drink for like three bucks. But, now I'm...
