2015: My Physical Goals
While last year went pretty well for me reading wise, my physical life was a bit of a disappointment. I ran, but not with the regularity, or speed, I would have liked. This year is going to be different. This year is all about consistency… and maybe a little speed. My goals are simple: 2,000…

Friday Inspiration: The Dawn Wall
Yesterday Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgenson did what was considered impossible – they free climbed Yosemite’s Dawn Wall. Unlike most achievements in climbing, this one is actually getting some serious mainstream press attention, including numerous articles in the New York Times. It should. What Caldwell and Jorgenson did isn’t just an incredible physical feat, its…

2015: My Reading Goals
As I wrote earlier this week, 2014 was a banner year for my reading life. I read more books than I have ever read in a single year and I finished one of my long-term reading objectives – to read all the plays of Shakespeare. I suck at running, but on this reading shit, I’m…

2014: My Physical Year
While 2014 was a great year for my reading, it was less than stellar year for exercise. Being the father of an infant does occasionally allow me to read late into the night, but its has made finding the time to exercise more difficult. In 2013 I spent a fair amount of time rock climbing…

2014: My Year in Books
I’m still not really sure how this happened, but in 2014, I read 52 books. I’ve tracked every book I’ve read for the last 26 years, and 52 books is a record. I’m sadly proud of this. A couple of things certainly helped. First, I finished a long-term goal of reading the complete works of…
