My 7 week shred with Hybrid Gym is officially over, and I ended up dropping from 33% body fat to 27% body fat, a 20% decrease! 🥳 While it started with a 2 week elimination diet followed by 1 week of Nutrition Kitchen meals, there was a 1 week break of nonstop indulgence for Lunar …
Trade Sweat for Swag at the Nike Fuel Box Vending Machine
I am a happy, proud Nike+ Fuelband owner, even if only for a few months. Accuracy issues aside, I’ve found that being able to track my daily activity to be a huge motivator to get off my ass and get moving. Just being able to see “GOAL” flash across my wrist after an intense workout at the gym or …
NYRR Brooklyn Half Marathon 2014 – Race Day Essentials, Personal Records, and Plenty of Eats
I’ve been quite busy of lately thanks to loads of running as part of New York Road Runners’ 9+1 marathon program, and of course, lots of subsequent eating. A few weeks ago, I ran and set personal records for my 10K and 5K respectively during NYRR’s UAE 10K and 4 Mile Japan Run. But those …

Resolutions, Restaurant Week, and Rugged Maniac
I’m afraid I’ve neglected this guy for a little too long, but with the New Year comes New Year’s resolutions, and one of mine is to follow through with everything I start. That includes my new workout regimen, cleaning my room, and of course, updating this blog. Not that I totally meant to ignore this. …
I Survived Warrior Dash and had a Damn Good Time Doing So
Let me tell you, Warrior Dash was not easy. Even the journey to Windham Mountain in upstate NY was riddled with difficulty, like our car breaking down 15 minutes from the race site (luckily we were saved by a friendly fellow Warrior Dash participant – thank you “Utica”). In the end, we made it to …
How to Train for Warrior Dash (sort of)
First off, apologies for the huge delay in posts. From all the packing, moving out of my St. Marks apartment (sadface), unpacking, and getting my life (aka stuff) back in order, I’ve just been too busy/lazy to update this. But now I’m temporarily back in my house in the dirty Jerz until I move back …
