TOTFIT's Total Fitness Page

My latest passion these days is Ubuntu Linux. I have just about fully converted from using Micorosoft at all to using this Linux Distro exclusivly as my operating system of choice. I really love this package enough to try and get involved and support its distribution and enhancements in the future. Ubuntu is an African word for "Humanity to others". This is a totally free package that includes operation system and software for daily computer tasks. I highly recommend it.

Well, the new year is moving right along. Been sick for a week, but better now. While I was planning on running a half marathon, I must change the plan for now. Wife will be out of town the planned weekend leaving me with the four year old. Oh well, may not really have been a good idea anyway. Work is up and down. Not sure that I want to be doing quality assurance for concrete from now on. Well, we will see what happens.

Yep, that's right, 13.1 miles. Decided to do the half at the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN. The run will be end of April so I should have plenty of time to prepare. I am not going to try and smoke it, just finish it. Off to a decent start this year running so far. I am just going to slowly build up for the run. Ran four days last week, just 12.5 miles total, but that is the way I want to start. I may only run three days a week for the rest of this month to make sure I am starting to get a good base down and avoid injury. Main thing is to do this for the long haul.

Well, to begin a new year with a fresh perspective and a clear head! Happy New Years to all and a wish for new wonders to fill your worlds. I would hope that we will finally come to some peace in the middle east and learn to keep our meddling hands out of it. I hope to reach a level of fitness that I haven't had since the 90's. While I am fit I could still find room for improvement. I hope that I can find more spiritual clues in my life and the connectedness of all. Above all, I hope to eat healthy foods that are lower on the food chain and consume less materially than in past. Above all I hope to live simply so that others might simply live and give back to my fellow man more than I receive. Happy New Year from the Fowlers.
