Affiliate Fitness

by Scott Jangro on 18 July 2007

When I quit my day job almost three years ago now to become a full-time affiliate, up near the top of the “pros” list was having time to get back into shape. While I’ve gone through some phases of fitness, the norm has more been sleepless nights working and too much coffee.

This first week of getting back into shape wraps up today with another 6 mile run. The ones after a day of rest are always the best. And a nice cool drizzly day for it as well.

Here’s how things have shaped up so far. Not only have I logged some good miles, but I’ve actually been more productive for it.

  • 7/12 – 6 miles. One blog post.
  • 7/13 – 6 miles. Two blog posts.
  • 7/14 – rest.
  • 7/15 – 6 miles. One blog post. One BUMPzee feature idea (TBD).
  • 7/16 – 6 miles. One blog post (which has been getting stumbled like crazy), and one hopefully killer Costumzee feature (TBD).
  • 7/17 – rest
  • 7/18 – 6 miles. Two blog posts, this one and one still in my head.

Much thanks to those of you who have given me encouragement. Including Jonathan (get a blog man, and I’ll throw you a link), Connie in a Facebook post, John Cronin who is apparently quite a runner himself, and Matt Reid who has put his entire physical well-being squarely on my head. Pressure!

  • Interesting! I guess it doesn't matter how or when you work out as long as you do and you get all of your work done. Working from home doesn't help matters much when it comes to keeping the weight off.

    thanks!

    Bathroom line? wouldn't we just go on your lawn?
  • Hey Scott,

    Well done! I live about 6 houses from the start of the Boston Marathon. Drop me a line if you decide to run it, I'll save a parking spot and a number for the bathroom line.

    30 miles in a week ....impressive stuff indeed. Putting me to shame!

    Did about 6 today myself (not blogged yet). For once this 'summer' it wasn't raining over here in the UK.

    Keep it up.
