Fun with numbers: 5k edition

Fun with numbers: 5k edition

I was thrilled to complete my New Year’s resolution, even if it did come down to the wire due to the weather and a bit of procrastination. The goal of doing one 5k per month was a bit outside my comfort zone, as I’m not a particularly accomplished long distance runner to say the least. Still, there is always a bit of extra pride in setting a goal and seeing it through to the end. I’m not sure if…

Resolution fulfilled: Twelve months, twelve 5k races in 2021

Resolution fulfilled: Twelve months, twelve 5k races in 2021

12 months of 5k races in 2021 New Years Resolutions can be hit or miss. Whether you’re aiming for small changes or a major life overhaul, it can be a bit daunting once you’ve identified something you’d like to accomplish. Me? I’ve never given much thought to resolutions as such. Sure, when the new year comes around, I think about something I might like to do. But much like the inspiration of…

Fun with numbers: Fitness edition

Fun with numbers: Fitness edition

I’m writing up part II of My Three-Year Fitness Journey, but here is a fun graph charting my weight ups and downs over the past three years. Fortunately, it’s been mostly (good) downs! Three years of charting my weight As you can see, I started out around 220 pounds, though that was after six weeks of dieting, so I was likely much bigger than that. The last recorded weight I had was in 2016,…

My three-year fitness journey (Part I): Taking control

My three-year fitness journey (Part I): Taking control

In August 2018, I was at the soccer fields with my daughter, while the Seattle Sounders went through a normal training session. I was finishing some interviews while she enjoyed the playground at the park nearby, and she decided she wanted to check out the soccer fields. “Any chance to get her more interested in soccer, I should take,” I thought (Spoiler: it hasn’t really worked). So we made our…

Three-year Keto anniversary

Wow it’s been three years since I started Keto. Lots of ups and downs, but never regretted it. Well maybe regretted starting just before Thanksgiving back in 2018, but aside from that it’s been a very rewarding journey. More in a full-length story later! Happy Thanksgiving! Three years of Keto and feeling good!

My day at the races

My day at the races

Covid-19 continues to be a pain in the ass, but I made my way out to Tukwila to participate in a life 5k on Sunday, my first in-person 5k in over two years. As part of a (poorly thought out) New Years Resolution, I decided I would make it a goal to complete one 5k race per month, with a 10k in December to top it off. I’ve so far managed to keep up with the resolution thus far, so with yesterday’s…

Two years Keto

Yesterday (12/28) marked two years since I first weighed myself, so I consider that the start of my Keto journey. I’d started the diet about a month prior in November 2018, but didn’t weigh myself at the start for fear of discouraging myself (as an aside: Weigh yourself or at least take pictures/measurements. It’s my number one regret, aside from not starting Keto earlier, ‘natch). A bit of…

NASL seeks Summary Judgment against US Soccer, MLS in Antitrust lawsuit

It should be noted that NASL is suing the defendants on…

Nature walking

Not much legal news out right now, so I’ve been trying to get out and explore the wonders of the Pacific Northwest. This week I completed my most grueling hike yet: a 26-mile hike with a 3200 elevation gain.

Our crew.

We started with an 8-mile hike to Waptus Lake, hung out for about an hour, then made our way for the remaining 5 miles to Spade Lake. The last bit was some of the most…

My Fitness Journey on Keto: One Year Later

My Fitness Journey on Keto: One Year Later

So almost exactly one year ago, I reached what for me was a pretty important life milestone. Since 2013, I’d been steadily gaining weight until summer 2018 when I reached highs (or lows) heretofore unforeseen by me in my then-44 years of life. I’d ballooned up to around 230 pounds, and began experiencing a myriad of issues associated with being obese, including asthma, foot issues, snoring and a…

My (so-called) Quarantine Life

My (so-called) Quarantine Life

So…how’s everyone doing out there?

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything here. Part of that is just a dearth of legal news that I haven’t covered elsewhere (coughTwittercough). Or, just a lack of legal news generally. Basically, the only drama that we’ve seen is related to the US Women’s National Team lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation. To be clear: There was A LOT of drama…
