"If my mind is tense it spreads to my body. If my body is tense it spreads to my mind. Relaxing my mind relaxes my body. Relaxing my body relaxes my mind" by FitOldDog, July 11th, 2012. Hi folks, I don't know how many of you are watching the Tour de France, but I see snippets from time to time (FitOldDog doesn't like televisions in his immediate vicinity), and it always impresses me. Those guys ... Read more
Message To FitOldDog From His Ironman Coach: “You need to manage yourself OUTside of training better in order to have better training!”
Hi folks, If you decide to undertake endurance sports I strongly recommend that you find yourself an experienced coach. Chris Hauth of Advanced Ironman Protocol (AIMP) has been coaching me for some time now, and I have found him to be a man of few words. His main goal is the success of his athletes, but he doesn't do this by patting them on the back all the time, instead he points out where you are ... Read more
Generosity Of Spirit Is Important For The Endurance Athlete And For A Happy Life
Hi folks, The biggest enemy of charity or generosity is fear - someone famous said something like that, but I don't remember who (or is it whom?). I most certainly consider this statement to be true. Think about it! If you become short on money, are you more or less likely to give money away? Generally not, but this is a big mistake as a general rule. Remember the old Widow's Mite story in the ... Read more
FitOldDog Discovers The Difference Between Marketing And Sales As He Works To Find His Target Customers For A Great Aortic Surgery Recovery Guide
Hi folks, This blog has been a real boon to me, as it has brought me closer to my family of origin. For instance, my 'Bro' Trevor, was always a mystery to me, but now I understand that he sees the World in a different way. I live my life, largely, via logic circuits, whilst Trevor seems to understand how people feel. I have had a number of uncomplimentary names in my life, one of which was Genghis Khan, and I ...

A Tee Shirt’s Eye View Of The World And Talking About Things That You Shouldn’t Talk About
Hi folks, Display appears to be a constant characteristic of mating behavior in most species, probably even in bacteria on a chemical level, for all I know. In humans, such display comes in some bizarre formats. These formats vary from generation to generation, with long skirts or short skirts, tuxedos, ironmongery or Birkenstocks, and sometimes even tee-shirts. The one example of tee-shirt display that I ... Read more
United Airlines Were On Time And They Didn’t Break Our Ukelele, But They Could Work On Seat Design
Hi folks, We're back from the wedding in Hawaii, very jet lagged, but happy. All the United Airlines flights were on time and the staff were friendly and kind, and they didn't break any of our luggage. I loved the YouTube video about United Airlines breaking a Taylor guitar, because it demonstrates that the 'little guy' can fight back against major corporations, and their tendency towards indifference for their ...

Reduce Your Risk Of Premature Death By Having Your Aorta Scanned For Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Or Your Parent’s, Or Your Grandparent’s Aortas
Hi folks, Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is more common than you might think, and I suspect that the majority of AAA-induced deaths go undiagnosed, based on my experience with the thing. I found mine in the nick of time, and only because of my study of body awareness combined with a veterinary medical training. Two of my three sons had an AAA scan, which is carried out by ultrasound, takes about 15 ... Read more
What Do You Do When You See One Of Those Subtle Signs Sent By The Universe?
Hi folks, Every now and then the Universe will send you a subtle sign, and you can take note or treat it as a SEP Field (Someone Else's Problem - The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy). I suspect that your response will be conditioned by your general level of awareness combined with behavioral conditioning derived from the delicate mix of your genome with your environment, including the effects of any ...
