Garmin FR60 sport watch w/wirelss sync TIP
First, let me explain why i purchased this item. I had HRM on my Christmas list. My dad, being the super dude that he is, bought me a Garmin HRM chest strap with a wireless transmitter. He wasn't aware that it needed a Garmin device to pair it with. So, i went on Amazon and found a great deal. I ended up buying the FR60…

Sarcasm in the forums....
While the majority of us are intelligent enough to discern sarcasm in comments and posts, are we forgetting how naive some people can be? It's highly possible that someone may take something that was meant as a joke, as truth or fact. We should help them instead of tearing them down and belittling them. I, for one, am…

Anyone else grown their own food....?
This will be the second season for Twelve Hands Urban Gardens (located conveniently in my own backyard). Last year it measured over 1600 sq. feet and may possibly be larger this year.

Super brief background: I used to run track in high school (many, many years ago), but i was never a distance runner.

Newbie has more ?s....
So, i'm not new at lifting. I've been lifting for about a year off and on, but started a heavier lifting program in October. I lost the trainer i had through my employer (they laid him off), so i got interested in NROL because i felt i was lacking direction. i like that i don't have to think about what my workouts are…

I'm want to continue…
