Review – SPIbelt Running / Sport belt, Large Pocket Version

This posting will be a somewhat short review, because I want to post about something that is small and relatively simple but works quite well and serves its purposes just perfectly. When I run I like having my phone with me (as well as when I bike, and walk, and…

Bored on the Treadmill, Indoor Bike Trainer, Exercise Bike, Elliptical, or Rowing Machine? Get a Chromecast!

  If you’re like me you might become bored to death of running on the treadmill, indoor bike trainer, exercise bike, rowing machine, and elliptical. I especially find myself not able to finish very many miles on the treadmill (a Sole F63 – review here) during the indoor months –…

What about those people who can’t find time to exercise?  I hear it all the time: “I don’t have time to exercise.” “I would if I could find the time.” “I have kids and a job, there’s just no time to workout.” “My job keeps me pretty busy and then…

Running & Biking in Cold Weather

Last winter (2011/2012) was a fairly mild one.  I biked and I also ran as much as I was able to, through almost the entire winter.  Of course, despite a milder winter I still had to really bundle up. So this year I plan on, and am doing, the same…
