Harrison is Diagnosed with Leukemia
Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by Jeff Lambert.
Today Gin randomly happens to ask me the dates that Harrison was going through chemo. I don’t know how it happens but it sparked my memory of the fact that this very same day is 15 years, almost to the hour, of when Harrison was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. […]

Standing Desks – Gaining Popularity
Posted on 04. Oct, 2011 by Jeff Lambert.
Quite some time ago I posted an article on my installation of a height adjustable, stand up desk in my office. I still love it and typically start my day by standing up while working. I think my still using it daily is a great indicator that there is value in standing while working, especially considering […]

Nike Zoom Structure Triax+ Review
Posted on 11. Nov, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
I actually wrote a review on a commerce site. Don’t think I’ve done that before but know I read a lot. Anyway, decided to share it here too since they made it pretty easy to copy the content. […]

So, did Dannon read my post about Yoplait from September 10? Or maybe they just have a brain and understand making a difference is more important than […]

What’s Up with Yoplait’s Support for a Cure to Breast Cancer
Posted on 10. Sep, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
Every time Yoplait puts on their support program for the Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure campaign I just get disgusted. No, I’m not against getting rid of breast cancer, quite the opposite. What drives me nuts is […]

Run One: Trails Challenge 2010
Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
Well, I’ve kicked off my start of the East Bay Regional Park District’s (EBRPD) Trails Challenge 2010 with a short and quick five mile run in Fremont. The trail was actually 4.5 miles but I decided to get in at least five miles. There is a longer route that takes you clear to the Bay and ends up being 12.3 miles. And there also is a shorter course […]

Body Glide

God bless this product! Okay, this is a post where I won’t be shy. I’m not a light person anymore and am getting older. What does this mean? It means I’m just shy of 195 pounds and will soon be 49 years old. I’m also 6’ 2”, so, I’m not fat but I do have […]

State of the Union Address
Posted on 27. Jan, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
Gee, what shall I watch while I’m putting in five and a half miles on the treadmill? Well, I haven’t seen the news for a while, guess I’ll catch up on things. Damn! Politicians! Oh hell, I guess […]

Getting in My 20
Posted on 27. Jan, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
I’ve really been trying to get in at least 20 miles of running each week. I’ve been pretty good at it and am motivated to keep things going. Last week I was put to the test as […]

Hit $50 Worth of Donations on Plus3Network
Posted on 09. Jan, 2010 by Jeff Lambert.
Yesterday I was looking at my Plus3Network donations and saw that I could hit $50 if I did a 10 mile run. I had planned on only doing 7.5 miles but this motivated me to do the little bit extra. So, not only was I motivated to push myself a bit more but, on my behalf, a firm rewarded […]

Pondering National Health Care
Posted on 19. Nov, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
So, the other day I was thinking about National Health Care, a rarity as I prefer not to try and figure out the reasoning’s of politicians. It dawned on me that our Congress and the cost of health care have a very common thread; l […]

Plus 3 Network – You Exercise… They Donate
Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Alright, I know I keep stumbling across sites that allow you to manage your training logs. There are quite a few out there and more arriving all the time. Today, I learned of yet another site (thanks Paul), +3 Network, that works quite well at logging your training. The twist with this site is that your activities are converted into charitable donations. That’s right! […]

Trails Challenge 2009 – Regional Parks Foundation – Day Three
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Didn’t I say I was going to take Sunday off? Well, I woke up and didn’t feel bad. I actually felt quite good. Looking out the window it appeared to be a great day to run as it was totally foggy. Saturday night I had looked over the Trails Challenge trail list to see what trail I would make number five. The first I looked at was […]

So, I decided after yesterday’s great run on the wonderful trails meandering through Roberts Regional Recreation Area and Redwood Regional Park that I needed to keep things going and try and knock out another of the Trail Challenge trails. Back to the list of 20 trails and I decided […]

Trails Challenge 2009 – Regional Parks Foundation – Day One
Posted on 18. Oct, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Well, I picked up the t-shirts for the “Trails Challenge 2009” probably around early May and as of Friday morning, October 16, I hadn’t done one trail. Not good. Even though we didn’t complete the challenge, last year we did this as a family and think we got in three trails, had a good time and saw some great scenery and wildlife.
The challenge is put on by the Regional Parks Foundation with the challenge being to […]

A New Running Site
Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by Jeff Lambert.
Update – April 20, 2015: It would appear that this site is no longer operated.
While still in its infancy, maybe even a toddler, the InfiniteRunners (http://www.infiniterunners.com) site by Brian Hock is well thought out and designed. It is in Beta phase but I think he is off to a very good start and suggest you register and check it out. What I like most is […]
