About

I'm a software developer and a recreational runner. I'm 45 and weigh about 142 pounds.

For most of my adult life I've trained my mind and not much else. Over the next five years, until I turn 50, I'm training for strength and muscle while keeping up my running. The rough target is about 150 pounds, gained slowly and mostly as muscle, without losing endurance or getting hurt.

I log my training and measurements: body weight, push-ups and pull-ups, lifts and runs. Progress shows what's been measured so far, and the journal is where I write about how it's going, including the weeks that don't go well. Anything not yet measured is left blank.

I'm not a coach, and none of this is advice. It's one person's record.

My older writing is on the old blog.
