A Little About Me

Hi and thanks for visiting my site. My name is Glenn and I am AGELESS at heart. :)

I have lived a diversified life. I am a former Marine and Vietnam veteran. I have worked as a software engineer, Chiropractor, college professor and now as a network field support engineer.

I enjoy sports, especially triathlon, ice hockey and college football. I am somewhat athletic as I have played ice hockey, baseball and softball. I have also completed several triathlons, half marathons and a century ride.

I am extremely interested in health and fitness, which of course includes nutrition and exercise. I want to get back into shape and participate in additional triathlons, century rides, half-marathons and maybe even marathons.

My ultimate dream goal is to be a FINISHER in an Ironman triathlon. That goal is down the road a bit, because one has to learn to walk, before you can run, right?. :)

When I Started Working Out

February 2007

How I Started

Just doing some brisk walking

Why I Love It

Still working on getting to LOVE it. LOL!

How I Stay Motivated

With encouragement and support from my friends and family

My Worst Injury

I've had several...concussion, shoulder, elbow, abdominal hernia. Although not an injury per se my greatest physical challenge was beating prostate cancer in 2008.

I Would Love To Meet

Positive, goal oriented and highly motivated people. I would especially like to meet people who are in the so-called "middle aged" bracket who have had weight control issues and overcame them to become physically fit, HOT, and changed their lifestyle, behavior patterns and mindset to maintain their gains.

I'm partial to the ladies, but guys as well are welcome and truly, age doesn't really matter to me. I can learn just as much from the young as I can from the "mature", perhaps more. :)

Goals

Main Goal

Be in better shape and physical condition by end of 2008

Short Term Goal

Be consistent with my workouts and nutrition

Long Term Goal

Be a FINISHER in an Ironman triathlon

Bodyfat Goal

15%

Weight Goal

minimum 200 pounds, less would be even better

Favorites

Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)

Love ALL bodyparts. LOL!!! But I am a leg man. :))) Abs and glutes are next.

Bodyparts (Yours)

Chest, shoulders, arms

Exercises

This is where I need some help and direction. My ultimate long term goal is to be a FINISHER in an Ironman triathlon.

Healthy Foods

This is my MAJOR area of concern. I want to learn to eat better quality food, but it has to be palatable. I'm open to ALL suggestions and help. In training for ANY athletic event I believe that nutrition is paramount, but I also want to eat in a way the will help me trim down my body fat, too. Of course, ultimately I need to eat in a manner to aid me in training and being a FINISHER in an Ironman triathlon.

Not So Healthy Foods

Starbucks, McDonalds, KFC, In-n-Out, any junk food. LOL!!!

Supplements

I need help here too. I'm not very consistent at taking vitamins or ANY supplement for that matter.

Hobbies

Riding my Harley, R/C aircraft, and building scale models...and of course, surfing the web, which I do WAY TO MUCH!!!

Magazines

I subscribe to Triathlete, Bicycling and Runner's World. Any suggestions on any other magazines would be appreciated. I don't know if I should get any of the magazines like Muscle and Fitness or Flex or Planet Muscle. Would the latter magazines be of any benefit to me for the goals I have set?

Books

Last book was The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

Workout Music

I like music with a quick or really fast beat, but I am open to suggestions as to what is best for any type of training, whether it be interval, fatburning, running for sprints or long distance running, etc. I have an IPOD Nano, so I am open to ANY suggestions.
