Back to the Core

With all my swimming/biking/running lately I have neglected my core workouts that I had been very diligent on when deployed. Granted, when deployed I only had a stationary bike and no pool, and there were no distractions either. But, I am going to be working on ensuring my core stays strong as that helps everything else. My runs lately have been tough, and I know that much of that is due to the heat that has descended upon here, but nonetheless, I know if my cores is strong, the rest of my events will be that much better. I didn't want to do the same routine I had been doing, as I got bored with that, but this month's Runner's World magazine (they have tons of online resources too) has a good 15 minute core workout in it's section about Marathon training for "busy people." It only requires a stability ball, which I have, a chair, and a wall. So, I'm going to do it for a while and then change things up. I tend to get stuck into routines and probably need to vary things up more. I want to incorporate my bands into my core workout too--gotta keep my good guns nice and strong!

Today's police classes were BORING. It was another day of "death by powerpoint" and someone reading me slides. Y'all already know how I feel about that, so I won't beat that dead horse--though that's what I felt like I had happen to me today.

I know the reader's of this blog are from various backgrounds, opinions, and ideas. You know, just from my "about me" blurb and some of my postings that I am a committed Christian. I personally do not like the concept of "religion" as I find it stuffy and works based, Christianity is about a personal relationship, a changed life, and really a pursuit towards eternity. Anyhow, I wanted to occassionally throw out some sites I frequent and appreciate the content. I don't always agree with them 100% at all, but I do get some good insight and ponder some questions and various Christian opinions on issues of the day, especially for the single Christian, and yeah, that's still me.
