I succumbed to peer pressure today and bought a Wii. It’s still in it’s box and it smells very new. The release of both Mariokart and Wii Fit was what tipped the scale. Wii numbers and mingling will no doubt follow. ]]> http://boakes.org/wii/feed/ http://boakes.org/altitude-walker/ http://boakes.org/altitude-walker/#comments Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:40:54 +0000 Rich andy walker everest xtreme everest sponsor charity friends of the earth hypoxia http://boakes.org/altitude-walker/ Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2007/walks/toy' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65

His name was Andy and he was a rather impetuous boy: a life ruled by impulse and extremes, as [...]]]> http://boakes.org/altitude-walker/feed/ http://boakes.org/rick-moeller-cycle-blog/ http://boakes.org/rick-moeller-cycle-blog/#comments Wed, 21 Jun 2006 22:01:12 +0000 Rich rick moeller cycle cycling cyclists petaluma san francisco http://boakes.org/rick-moeller-cycle-blog Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2006/moeller-cycle/rick' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
We just got a message from Ann, tipping us off about Rick Moeller’s new cycling blog. Anyone who’s met Rick will know that he’s not one to dwell on the irrelevant things in life unless there’s good humor [sic] to be had therein, so it should be an enjoyable as well as insightful periodical.

I have a lot of time for the products of Japanese shoe company Asics; I wore out two pairs of their shoes when training for the London Marathon and they managed to keep my feet in fairly good shape throughout.

This week’s first session was again primarily focused on fitness, and again that part of the session wasn’t particularly difficult for us. After the group warmup, 30 seconds of running, and a couple (literally only a couple) of pressups, we went into the now familiar 180 and 90 degree turns (to left and to right).
