  • Happy New Year from Cunningham’s Corner

    First off, I hope everyone is having a safe and happy start to the new year. In terms of my fitness goals, I have already had my first run, walk and indoor workouts for the new year. I am now training for my next virtual event, The Columbus Blue Jackets Virtual 20K starting on January…

  • My Fitness Results for 2020

    Back in January, I broke down and got an Apple Watch Series 3 to repace the Fitbit Blaze that I had used to track my steps and workouts in the past (partly because the LED screen had started to lose accuracy and was turning orange.) While My Pelotonia and the AllState Hot Chocolate 5K were…

  • My 2020 Recap (Part 2)

    Author’s Note: This is the second part of the recap of 2020 from my perspective and will cover the second half of this year (July-December). I highly recommend that you read that post before reading this post. By the time we got to July, my world had been turned on its head, granted to that…

  • Merry Christmas from Cunningham’s Corner

    I hope that everyone is having a safe and Merry Christmas, where ever you are. Getting to today was not easy, given the problems that I have faced (and for that matter, the world.) Shortly after I got home from running my Allstate Hot Chocolate 5K on Sunday, my grandmother (who just turned 80 years…

  • Allstate Hot Chocolate Virtual 5K Result

    My first 5K race (a virtual one) is now officially in the books. Earlier today I ran this race in a time of 46:22. Not bad for my first 5K, and with some more practice, that time should improve. I will be posting the stats from today’s run on the Fitness Results page shortly. In…

  • A Quick Health Update for 12/15

    Tomorrow is a big day, as I make my first attempt to run the Allstate Virtual Hot Chocolate 5K virtually, although I do have some concerns about the weather forecast (70% chance of Snow at last check) In the event I have to postpone, I will try again on Sunday, and get in a couple…

  • Virtual Hot Chocolate 5K Update

    Based on the progress that I have made so far, I now have a date to run my first attempt to run the Allstate Hot Chocolate 5K on a course in my neighborhood (as this will be a virtual 5K.) I will make my first attempt to run this on December 16. I plan to…

  • Update on Back Rehab

    Back in October, I revealed that I was diagnosed with a malformed spinal column. Since that time, I have made significant progress in terms of getting my back pain under control. After a checkup yesterday, I am now to the point where I will only need to go over once a month starting in early…

  • My Fitness Plans For This Winter

    Now that the weather has finally started to feel like fall/winter around here, I can finally get to work on my indoor workouts (with some outdoor stuff sprinkled in-weather permitting.) I have already tried some yoga workouts on the Nike Training Club app, in addition to the stretches that I do to rehab my spinal…
