  • 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…

  • My 2020 Recap ( Part 1)

    Author’s Note: This is the first of a two part look back of the year 2020. This post will cover the period from January-June, I will post part two (July-December) later today. From my perspective, 2020 began with a lot of promise, turned into a nightmare, and somehow ended with me getting things back on…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • My Pelotonia 2020 Recap

    Last night, I capped off my first year of Pelotonia with the successful completion of my walking distance goal. Of the five goals that I had set out to accomplish when I started this in late July, I only completed two of them (I came up short on the fundraising, but made progress on the…

  • My Pelotonia Update for 11/15/2020

    Despite my fundraising page going offline for the year, I am happy to report that with a couple of walks today, I have (finally) made my walking distance goal of 125 miles by midnight today. This also means that first experience with Pelotonia is officially in the books. I will recap my experience in a…
