Hi folks, We are finally able to open our grocery store and local hangout, Johnny's Gone Fishing LLC. The inspections are complete, the Certificate of Occupancy has been approved, we are purchasing inventory, and yours truly, FitOldDog, was elected to consider where we might buy our coffee beans and other paraphernalia (cups and stuff).

It’s Worth The Trouble To Get To Know Your Psoas Muscles
Hi folks, Another great dance lesson today, in which no dancing was done or music heard. It was all about exploring and activating my core, whilst working to keep other muscle groups quiescent, and thus allowing my core to do what it does best.

Hi folks, Just came off of a great ride with a friend, who pushes ALL the time, even though he says he doesn't!

Whilst we were riding, Rory mentioned that he had learned a useful trick from me (which I learned from Victor, my bike guy). This was a simple issue of rear wheel removal and ... Read more
Computer Or Man Behind The Curtain Creating Titles In StumbleUpon And What Does It Mean For Endurance Training?
Hi folks, I love StumbleUpon (SU) because it takes me to the most amazing photos, and sometimes videos. But SU exhibits really bizarre behavior, especially when it comes to hits. 'Something' decides when lots of people like a blog post, and when no one is interested at all, but I don't know what this 'something' is, yet. In SU, I've posted material that generated 1500 hits, and an almost identical ... Read more
