Fitness Rocks Podcast 110 - Is Obesity a Health Risk, or Not?
http://fitnessrocks.org/ 2008/ 08/ 29/ fitness-rocks-p...The answer to the question posed in the title is a resounding yes, but a recent article in the Archives of Internal Medicine was evidently misinterpreted by some people who thought the study suggested that the risk of obesity was not as great as previously thought. I read the article and found the data abundantly clear that the health risks of obesity are very real, and quite substantial. In order to insure that my personal bias was not affecting my interpretation of the article I asked the lead author to talk to us on Fitness Rocks, and she agreed. Dr.

August 29-Sept 7: Running & Cycling in Alabama, Florida, & Texas
http://bobspersonalblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/august-29-sept-...Yep, I have been traveling a bit. The family and I went to Seagrove Beach, Florida for Labor Day. It was a very relaxing good time. Our five year old son fully appreciates the beach and doing things together now. It was awesome to spend time with him. He just finished mastering riding his bicycle without training wheels and we did a 3.2 mile ride with him. He did great. We swam, played games, and found shells. Despite Gustav's threatening arrival, we had great weather until Monday, September 1, 2008 when the beach basically disappeared.I spend nearly all of the work week in Dallas, Texas with colleagues from all around the world. I met some really smart people with gregarious personalities that were heavily into technology, a situation made for me. We are working on some exciting stuff touching on social networking, cloud computing, and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Definitely, cool.I listened to these podcasts:This American Life: #362: Got You PeggedThis show is about how our perceptions of folks is sometimes wrong and how that impacts our interactions and our lives. A good listen with a strong human touch, as usual.Phedippidations: Running for the BasesSteve talks about baseball and how important running is within it. A good entertaining listen during a run.Fitness Rocks 110: Is Overweight or Obesity a Health RiskGood data and discussion, but the conclusions are somewhat obvious.Despite traveling a bit, I didn't listen to many podcasts. I am in the middle of reading some architectural treatises on object orientation; Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John M. Vlissides; and Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide by Amy Shuen. That plus 60-70+ hour work weeks just ain't leaving any time.DataSeptember 7, 2008: Birmingham, ALBrownell-Shades CreekRunningDistance: 13.1 MilesTime: 2:07:21Heart Rate: 138Pace: 9:42Weather: OvercastTemperature-66°Humidity-94%RouteSeptember 6, 2008: Birmingham, ALOak Mountain State ParkCyclingDistance: 23.85 MilesTime: 1:19:41Heart Rate: 136Speed: 17.96Weather: RainingTemperature-74°Humidity-91%RouteSeptember 5, 2008: Dallas, TXNear the DFW airportRunningDistance: 6.14 MilesTime: 56:54Heart Rate: 142Pace: 9:16Weather: ClearTemperature-69°Humidity-81%RouteSeptember 3, 2008: Dallas, TXNear the DFW airportRunningDistance: 6 MilesTime: 56:32Heart Rate: 141Pace: 9:24Weather: OvercastTemperature-73°Humidity-87%RouteAugust 31, 2008: Seagrove Beach, FLSeagrove to Seaside BeachesRunningDistance: 13 MilesTime: 2:02:04Heart Rate: 145Pace: 9:23Weather: Partly cloudyTemperature-77°Humidity-89%Route August 29, 2008: Birmingham, ALNeighborhoodRunningDistance: 6.21 MilesTime: 58:10Heart Rate: 143Pace: 9:21Weather: ClearTemperature-70°Humidity-90%
