A week off
OK, so I took a week off from working out. The work load at the News-Argus was a little heavier last week and I thought my editors wouldn't appreciate me taking mid-day breaks to go hang out at the Y....Published: Feb 23, 2010 5:19 PM Full Story

Snow sabotage
I'm being sabotaged. The snowstorm single-handedly ruined my training. Rather than sticking to my two pounds of beef per day regimen, I was snowed in and stuck eating only what I had in my apartment. So two days of M&Ms...Published: Feb 1, 2010 4:41 PM Full Story
