It has been a long time. Many things have changed since June. Let's see... the biggest news is that I will be a dad come April. We are very excited about the new edition (it will be a boy) and we cannot be happier; however, we did get rid of my last Versaclimber partly to make room in the spare bedroom for the baby, and partly because I wanted to use the money for other things. I am keeping my eyes open for a commercial VC to purchase. In other news, I have been working as a dentist in the San Joaquin Valley for 3 months now. The commute from San Jose to Manteca, CA is a pain, but I am making it happen. I have been very active with the cardio since I finished dental school this past June. I try to do an hour of cardio on my workout days and my lifting has been strong. I am alternating between an exercise bike and running outdoors and I have really been enjoying that. I feel better than I have in years since I am getting my heart the workouts it used to get many years ago when I used to wrestle and run track. It feels good just to get out there and lift something heavy and run around some. I have been using a heart rate monitor watch for almost a year and it is fantastic. It is a Garmin 305 GPS and heart rate monitor. I use it on most days that I run. It keeps track of my progress, average heart rate, distance ran, pace per mile, calories, and a bunch of other stuff that I never looked into. For anyone that has not used one, these watches are really great because you can set up a race against yourself to keep you on pace. For example,: let's say that you run a routine route several times, each time you record the route with your watch, it is saved in the watch's memory and the next time you run that same route, you have the option of pacing yourself against the best time that you have ran/biked in the past on that same route. It essentially works as a virtual trainer and it is really cool.
