Dunk or Die Trying: Post Op
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/03/post-op.html
Friday, March 14, 2008. I'm no doubt a fool to resume the strenuous work of shaping up for the dunk, but then I was a fool to begin that pursuit in the first place, so why stop now? Come April I'll be sprinting up hills, doing knee-up jumps and, of course, warm up the Super Cat, Gil, I'm coming back. I must tell you have much fun it is reading about other peoples dreams and ambitions. I am 45 yrs old, and although dunking has never been my dream, vertical jump training sure is.

Dunk or Die Trying: Growing Up
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/02/growing-up.html
Sunday, February 3, 2008. Let me give a big fat "no" to that one. For me, boyishness is so ten years ago. Or maybe seven or eight. I don't remember exactly when, but I do remember making a conscious decision to . well, for want of a better term, act my age. So don't confuse my quest to dunk with some Peter Pan-ish desire to be young forever. I want to live forever, sure, but, I promise, I'll always act my age. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dunk or Die Trying: The Journey Begins
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/01/journey-begins.html
Monday, January 21, 2008. I want to dunk. A basketball. Through an honest-to-goodness, regulation-height, 10-feet-off-the-ground basketball hoop. “Okay,” one might say, “go ahead and do it. What’s the big goddamn deal? I’m white, I’m 6-foot-1, I’ve never done this before, and, oh yeah, I’m 51. Years old. And now we are getting to the reason why I wanted to do this in the first place. 8221;) and the ridiculously young second wife (“I’m her age! So, what would this thing be? LeBron James.Dr. J. You can say...

Dunk or Die Trying: Mrs. Mike
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/01/mrs-mike.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Now here’s a side of the story you won’t get from Mike. Because it’s from Mrs. Mike. Like many wives, I have a long history of asking my husband, “What do you want for your birthday? I thought for a while it might be the sight of a bunch of sweating women splayed open as only they can be on a adductor/abductor machine. But I was wrong. I realize now that the main reason Mike worked out so hard for so long was because the workouts kept him connected to who he really is. MikeR...

Dunk or Die Trying: The Twisted Tale of the Adjustable Hoop
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/01/twisted-tale-of-adjustable-hoop.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. The Twisted Tale of the Adjustable Hoop. I've talked about how difficult the Dunk Dreams workouts are, but . do they work? Do they actually help you jump higher? Well, there was a moment when I was convinced I'd wasted my time. I was ready to demand a refund. I spent days, especially in the first six weeks, when, after working out, walking was a painful chore. The muscles in my legs were screaming in revolt. "You're 50, goddammit. Why can't you just take up golf? But I was getti...

Dunk or Die Trying: Un Age Certin
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/01/un-age-certin.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. I began my quest to dunk largely to escape the reality of my advancing age. That was my plan. But as the saying goes, if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. Indeed, throughout this journey, circumstances have thrown my age back in my face like a baboon hurling its feces. It was unspoken but quite clear- the 33 years I'd spent on the planet before J.C. was even born. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dunk or Die Trying. The Twisted Tale of the Adjustable Hoop.

Dunk or Die Trying: Hank
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/02/hank.html
Monday, February 4, 2008. I believe it is my son Hank's goal to obliterate his old man. He will not rest until he has left me with nothing, nothing I can point to and say, "This is my domain. I excel at this beyond all those who call themselves Teverbaugh." And, yes, in the privacy of my own home, I do talk like that occasionally. Finally, I write comedy for a living. And my son . well, the little bastard has a wonderful sense of humor. I think we all see where this going. God help me. Dunk or Die Trying.

Dunk or Die Trying: Area 51
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/02/area-51.html
Saturday, February 9, 2008. Which brings me to the next advantage. The trainer will often use your age as a bludgeon against the youngsters. "What do you mean you can't do 30 squats? Mike did them, and HE'S FIFTY! Your performance becomes the low bar that the youngsters dare not trip over. There is no greater shame than being beaten by The Antique. And then, of course, there's the Shit Hat. February 10, 2008 at 2:21 AM. February 10, 2008 at 4:58 PM. February 11, 2008 at 11:47 PM. Dunk or Die Trying.

Dunk or Die Trying: You Want to Do What?
http://dunkordietrying.blogspot.com/2008/01/you-want-to-do-what.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2008. You Want to Do What? In attempting to do something like this at my age, it helps to have a wife who is understanding and patient. While we’re at it, let’s throw in beautiful, and now we have an accurate description of my lovely wife, Linda. This is her. See what I’m talking about, fellas? Then again, maybe she just wants to meet Oprah. Please stay in touch.I'd love to hear what you're doing versus what I'm doing. January 24, 2008 at 11:08 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
