The Marathon Generation

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 10:09:00 -0700

If you're a middle-ager, it's increasingly likely that you or one of your friends will run a marathon. Folks in the 40-plus group are pretty much taking over the sport, accounting for a surprising 43% of all marathoners in the U.S. in 2004--up from 26% in 1980. - Dan Kadlec, Time Magazine, June 26, 2006

BURNING 20 | 31 | Palm Coast

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 03:47:00 -0700

I'm on vacation this week for the holiday and checking in from Palm Coast, Florida. The entire family is enjoying the downtime and the spectacular views on the beach. Outside of a mean case of chafing from my long run, and the tourists crush in St. Augustine - everything is just peachy! Musical interludes provided by artist Nino Moschella with his cool song Moved On.

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 03:11:00 -0700

We had the good fortune of watching the awesome launch of the Discovery Space Shuttle from the beach at Hammock Dunes which is about 60 miles north of The Kennedy Space Center on the east coast of Florida. We all wish the crew a speedy journey to the edge of space and a safe trip home without incident. Happy Independence Day!

The Burning 20 podcast. 20 Minutes, 20 Weeks, 20 Pounds... A humorous account from podcaster Adam Tinkoff, keeping his 2006 resolution to burn 20 pounds in 20 weeks. This is a diary style podcast of a guy who tried to burn off 20 pounds (that's 9.07 kg for the rest of us). And succeeded. He is a regular guy/geek who did his own research on what was the right food and exercise for his body. While the details may not be right for every one, the process is. This podcast is an interesting human experiment because it kept him honest, as he was accountable to his audience.

The Fat Cat of El Raval, Barcelona

Big Cat of El Raval
Originally uploaded by tinkoff.

I'm back from Barcelona and slowly recovering from my massive case of jetlag crossing from California to Spain and then back to Florida over two weeks. Unfortunately the scale and complexity of the conference I was producing kept me from properly producing a show - but fortunately I had plenty of time on those long haul flights to think about the future and what's to become of it now that I've reached the 20 week mark. I'll be recording later this week to summarize my adventure not only over the past two weeks but also over the past twenty - it's been a great ride, and the payoff has been amazing. I hope you are all having a great transition into the swampy heat of summer - and for those of you lucky enough to live in the Southern Hemisphere, enjoy the snow!

The Miracle Ball Method

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 10:16:00 -0700

After a week of hard training I somehow tweaked my lower back. It's more of an annoyance than a problem - but something I should take notice of. To my surprise the only thing that seems to be working for relief from the pain is this amazing little thing called The Miracle Ball Method. This deceivingly simple yet thoroughly effective set of poly-vinyl balls allow you to put just the right amount of pliable pressure on the sore area of the lower back and somehow allows your body to adjust itself to the pain. My guess is that this minature balance ball hits all the right pressure points to alleviate stress but who really knows or cares for that matter. It works and that's all that's important when you have a sore back! It's not a drug and it doesn't stink like menthol - and it's only $12. How can you not love this thing! The Miracle Mall Method is highly recommended by B20 for a holistic, non-evasive, non-addicting way to deal with muscle pain. Check it out from my links on this site!

I was dreading the DMV today...

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 09:03:00 -0800

I had to renew my driver's license today and it's something I generally don't think about too much but when I do, I realize that this little photo in my wallet will represent me for many years to come and in the state of Florida that equals six. I've had plenty of bad license and passport photos before where I looked more like Uncle Fester from The Munsters than my actual self - so I was prepared for the very worst. Outside of the airport, who would see it? At my age I'm rarely asked for an ID anymore.

Well today my friends let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised! I finally managed a good photo on my license and I can even detect the evidence of a neck. Six years ago that would have been a challenge because there used to be no difference between where my shoulders ended and my head began. Unfortunately I've been cursed with the genes of a gin joint bouncer.

I walked out of the DMV with a big smile and proudly shared my new photo with my wife. She was busy complaining about how her hair looked all dipity doo and she was stuck with it for another six years - it was a humid day. I wonder what my picture will be like six years from now. Only time will tell.

iTunes issues - is the show cutting off?

Sun, 19 Feb 2006 11:17:00 -0800

I've been informed by some of our listeners that B20 Show 9 (the Scott Smith interview) cuts off towards the end.

If you are having a problem I suggest downloading the show (right click, 'save target as') directly from the link below. It's funny how technology is destined to be harder than it needs to be.

Catastophic Failure! Another Sad Mac...

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 07:31:00 -0800

Where's my BURNING TWENTY you might be asking... Well I'll tell you.
With much sadness and a bucket of frustration I must announce that my main production machine, a 2 year old (just out of warranty) Apple iBook G4 had a catastrophic failure and it's logic board and hard drive are completely toast. To my surprise I found out from Apple that replacing the logic board on this machine costs 90% as much as buying a new one. Frustrating? Just a little... and I'm not alone. I found a website that documents the problem and shares stories of other people that are having the same problem with this iBook.

So what does this mean to BURNING TWENTY? I've lost most of my show data (and all my music and photos). Fortunately I do have backups, but I have completely lost a couple months of data including all the production pieces for this show. Not to worry though - it may take a few days to put all the piecesback together, but the challenge is still on target and the show will continue. I just need a few days to locate all the parts and move them over to another computer (not a Mac)! I've been a Mac advocate since the early 80s - but now I think I've about reached my limit of patience with this technology. With great sadness I'll be leaving this operating system as platform of choice to produce this show. I simply can't afford to take another chance on a $1,500 box that may or may not work.

I've been around long enough to know that when it comes down to PCs catastrophic failure is inevitable - no matter what platform your running. So if you take away one thing from this post let it be this. Back up your data unless you can afford to loose it. This is no joke my friends. As the old saying goes, a file saved is a file saved... Onward...

A Virtual Trainer Is Kicking My Butt...

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 12:33:00 -0800

Mike Monroe
is my new nemisis, well maybe that's too strong a word - but my body absolutley hates the 2nd workout on this month's
PUSH.TV
Custom DVD. Somehow it's my minds job to remind my body that this is a GOOD thing. Just when you thought it was getting easy he switches things up on you. Some of the core positions (especially the side-bridges with open legs) are absolute KILLERS. This is good stuff. The background music is a little cheesy - but the positions are solid gold. Thanks Mike!

Here's a great interview featuring Mr. Monroe that I found on the BBC website. Enjoy the pain!

Breakfast of Champions

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 07:02:00 -0800

Did you eat breakfast this morning? I certainly did - and it was absolutely perfect. This omlette was made with 4 egg whites, Galaxy Veggie Shreds cheese substitute (soy based) and Hannah Bruschetta. Took all of ten minutes to make. What a great way to start the day! Don't forget to eat that first meal, it's the foundation of your day. Yum...

Remember, I serve all my meals on salad plates to trick my mind into thinking there's more food than there really is. I love playing with my own mind. Remember kids, don't run with scissors...

Office Munchies and the Test of Restraint

Sun, 15 Jan 2006 10:08:00 -0800

I was never conscious of this before, but my office in Stamford was a formidable mindfield of donuts and candy and it took great skill to navigate through our vast cubicle farm without falling into this temptation. My first instinct was to grab a handful of goodies and pop em into my big mouth and go happily on my way to the copy machine -- but then I thought twice... Maybe talking a walk around the parking lot is a better alternative...

So, if you find yourself in this situation at the office in front of a warm box of donuts or an endless bowl of candy. Think about how awesome you'll feel when you get into that pair of jeans you havn't been able to squeeze into since high-school. Think about how much energy you now have because you are exercising and eating good fuel for your body. Think about all those great comments you've been hearing from your friends, family and even people who don't even know you. Is it really worth breaking the commitment you made? No way. Office munchies and the gremlins that push them will test your skill in keeping your word - but it's all worth it in the end (and on your end). Keep Burning!

The Carefully Balanced Meal

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 09:51:00 -0800

Here's how you eat if you're following the Body for LIFE program. 3 balanced portions; Teriyaki Grilled Salmon (protein), Carrots & Celery sauteed in olive oil (veggies), and organic brown rice (carbs). This was easy for me to pull together (about 45 minutes) and absolutely yummy!

Dieter's Tip: smaller plates make your portions look larger and (hopefully) fool the mind into thinking that there's more food than there really is. :-)

My New Favorite Power Shake

Thu, 29 Dec 2005 11:46:00 -0800

Eating six healthy mini-meals is central to the Eating For Life diet program. The book suggest Protein Shakes (which can taste yucky by themselves) as the in-between meal. My tastes change like the phases of the moon, so here's my latest favorite frothy concoction.

TINKOFF's APPLE SNAP POWER SHAKE!

Total Calories: 360 (this is a meal replacement)
8 oz. Mott's Plus Light Apple Juice (60 cals)
2 Scoops Vanilla Whey Powder (180 cals)
10 Almonds (80 cals)
1 tbs. Psylium Husk Fiber Powder (40 cals)
1 tsp. Cinnamon Powder
8 oz. Crushed Ice

Throw everything in a high speed blender for 3 minutes until frothy. Add more juice if the mixture is too thick. Pour in glass, pop in a straw, and enjoy this tasty treat!

Welcome to BURNING TWENTY

Thu, 01 Dec 2005 04:33:00 -0800

I'm finally home (for a few months) from my insane travel intinerary and as a result of my bad habits of eating, drinking & sitting behind a laptop, I've decided to make a New Year's Resolution for 2006 to get back to my former weight and all-around level of fitness. To document this challenge, I'll be podcasting my painfull (and often funny) experience of re-introducing myself to the discipline of regular exercise and a healthy diet. As you'd expect, each show will highlight my success and failure as well as a weekly weigh-in to keep myself accountable to this commitment.

- Will I hit a wall? - Will I fail? - Will I excede my expectations?

You'll have to give it a listen to find out!

Keep your ears open for my new show appearing this January on an iPod near you - and expect a few teasers late this December. Remember... Do not try this at home without consulting your physician, shaman or witch doctor and absolutely no wagering will be encouraged.

20 Weeks, 20 Pounds!
