		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seriously been falling down on the job with this blog. At first I took a bit of a mental vacation and then a physical one. My lengthy hiatus from blogging is the result of a number of factors: workout inconveniences, an injury, and a new focus on mind training as well as body. Of [...]]]></description>

But I wanted to direct anyone who hasn&#8217;t completely given up on me to this phenomenal story in the New York Times: The Last Iron Man. This article reduced me to tears in my cubicle.

		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple of weeks I&#8217;ve been indulging in some hard core geekdom and my &#8220;nerd file&#8221;, filled with research papers is getting fatter and fatter. Horrifyingly enough, it makes me yearn to go back to college for a&#8212;gasp&#8212;4th degree. Because, you know, the perfect compliment to an English BA, a creative writing masters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that most fitness experts will tell you that long-haul cardio is generally a waste of time, I often put in one or two hour+ sessions a week. My body seems to like repetitive motion, a lot. After an hour on the eliptical, the stationary bicycle, or the treadmill,  the spastic muscles in [...]]]></description>

I keep waiting for the back pain to come back, or for my calves to feel like they&#8217;re in a vice. Or to fall on my face [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m still going through my contemplative quiet time&#8212;yeah, I know, ME quiet? Something must be out of sync in the universe. I have about three volume settings: not-so loud, let-me-make-sure-everybody-noticed-me loud, and yeah-just-try-to-ignore-me-I-dare-you loud. This is particularly true if I&#8217;ve got a bee in my bonnet about something&#8212;and clearly I&#8217;ve got a swarm going [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve abandoned these drafts not because I haven&#8217;t had anything to say, but because I&#8217;ve had a hard time saying something cohesive and coherent. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

It was victory post about how well I&#8217;m doing and how proud I am of my progress thus far.But it&#8217;s being pre-empted by a moron I met on my way home.

		<description><![CDATA[So the first year of this project&#8211;which is about to come to an end&#8211;was all about me. For good or ill it was an exercise in navel-gazing, self-study, and self-scrutiny. It was a year spent isolating and building muscles, learning new skills, and relearning old ones&#8212;including how to walk in a more efficient and less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to say: apparently I&#8217;ve still got it, I&#8217;m still kicking it. According to my osteopath and PTE, the pain I was experiencing was likely a direct result of increased range of motion in both hips. Boo-ya! Normal standing posture&#8212;no lordosis, or increased curvature of the lumbar spine&#8212;for the first time ever! [...]]]></description>
