I have been surfing and doing Martial Arts over 25yrs now. I mix in many other sports, just not consistently.
I've decided to make strength training my primary focus now..

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

yes, it was cameron crowe. you can ask another question if you want, but he followed a specific rock band that is quite well known. they're even referenced several times in the film.

I guess this one is somewhat topical.... It's actually the Hartford Courant (people often leave copies in the bathroom at work, I learned this little tid bit last week)...
Approximately what percent of men snore in the U.S.? (or women - either number will do).

In one word - I am an Unquenchable Optimistic!!
Im a phd student and have been traineoing for the past 8 months! I am in love with HIIT, dark chocolate, green tea and falling in love with more through this site!
I took a break from fitness for the past 2 months and now starting fresh to reach my goal.
I am doing my first walk marathon ( Avon walk for breast cancer- total 39 miles) this fall and have begun training for it. I am actively fundraising for this event. Please take a look at my page : -

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
This famous monument was erected in Bodium, Turkey, by Queen Artemisia in memory of her husband, King Mausolus of Caria in Asia Minor, who died in 353 B.C. Some remains of the structure are in the British Museum. This shrine is the source of the modern word “mausoleum,” which is a large above-ground tomb.
apart from this and the pyramids, every thing else was detroyed...

I'm trying to get back into running as a way of staying healthy and getting fit. I've got two races this year--A 10K in May and a 10 Miler in October.
My training includes 3 days of running, 2 days of cross-training and 2 days of weight lifting. I'm trying to eat a little better as well. More veggies, good protein and whole grains.

The Hanging Gardens
The Pyramids
The Colossus
The Temple of Artemis
The Statue of Zeus
The Lighthouse (of somewhere)
A mausoleum--of someone.
Heh. A little light on the details, but I think that's all of them.
Oh and I thought the pyramids were the only ones standing--is the mausoleum still around?
Also I read that they think the Hanging Gardens may never have existed (there's no first hand account of them--just second hand.)
