Carbon Credits | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/carbon-credits
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. February 26, 2008. An earlier post mentions carbon credits. I’d like to dive a bit deeper. The basic idea is to buy credits to offset carbon dioxide emissions. As part of my new bike green initiative, I plan to buy carbon credits to offset the carbon footprint of my riding and general everyday life. I know what you’re thinking:. A quick trip to Google identified four potential candidates:. More research is in store over the next few days. In the meantime, ...

Pain, Agony and Birthday Suffering | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/pain-agony-and-birthday-suffering
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. May 19, 2008. Pain, Agony and Birthday Suffering. Sunday was bitter sweet. On one hand, May 18 marked my 29. Birthday the last of my roaring twenties. On the other, it was judgment day for the Colfax half marathon. I spent last week trying to talk myself out of running. The reasons piled up. I didn’t train enough. It was my birthday. The weatherman forecasted a beautiful day. I didn’t train enough. I’d rather go camping for the weekend. It started at 6:00 am.

Pod Fix | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/pod-fix
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. January 3, 2010. My last post focused on frustration with my Insulet Omnipod. A snippet of the post read:. Each time I switch out the pod my glucose control plummets and my numbers skyrocket above the 300 range. It only happens for the first six hours after switching out the pod, which happens every three days. It’s truly frustrating. There are a lot of fellow ‘Podders there and often useful tips and discussions. On January 4, 2010. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Up and Running | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/up-and-running
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. June 13, 2008. Was indeed a wake up call. It restarted my fitness push. It sparked a resurrection in riding. Surprisingly, it also sparked more running. The simple truth is that it’s much easier to get a good work out by foot than by pedal. Second, 30 minutes on a brisk run pushes me hard, especially if I try to cut time off my regular three mile route. Thirty minutes on the bike just leaves me warmed up for more, which I often don’t have time to do. You are c...

Thoughts of Oil Efficiency | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/thoughts-of-oil-efficiency
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. June 13, 2008. Thoughts of Oil Efficiency. Some might remember my earlier research on carbon offset credits. My wife and I push ourselves to reduce our carbon footprint. Added to this is a new push to reduce the footprint carbon has on our budget. Rising oil prices are starting to hurt. Today, I calculated my average monthly spend on gas for the Jeep Liberty. At $4 a gallon, it now reaches $165 a month. That doesn’t tickle. More and more Honda Civics. Update e...

Resolutions | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/resolutions
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. January 17, 2008. Last night marked day two on the trainer. Forty-nine more minutes passed going nowhere. That’s 49 minutes of stationary thinking. Since it’s January, my thoughts naturally drifted to 2008 resolutions. I resolve to ride 2008 miles in 2008. What exactly does that mean? It means an average of 168 miles a month. It means riding a combination of my stationary trainer, road bike, mountain bike and neighborhood commuter. Expect more on this later.

Frustration | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2009/12/24/frustration
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. December 24, 2009. It’s Christmas Eve and frustration is setting in with diabetes control. The Omnipod has been a part of my life for close to a month. Overall, my blood glucose controls have improved especially in the mornings. Sure it’s bulky and somewhat uncomfortable. The same holds true for the Medtronic models. That’s not the problem. Sorry the rant; just needed to vent steam. Laquo; The Hiatus Ends. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The Hiatus Ends | Kick The Gong
https://kickthegong.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/the-hiatus-ends
About Kick The Gong. Posted by: Site Writer. December 18, 2009. Hiatus may be underselling the last 20 months. Life threw in a new job (in the green energy field), new house, new car ( Honda Civic Hybrid. For reoccurring readers), and a host of other news. Basically a prosthetic pancreas that attaches to my skin and controlled via remote. Expect more to come. Laquo; Thoughts of Oil Efficiency. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
