What is your other life? (Page 5)

I am a journalist who worked my way into development of an outdoor recreation and travel section several years ago.  I fish, ride bikes, travel and write about it.  When I decided last year to work toard triathlons this year, it all became fodder for my column.  So, my work is my play, my play is my work.  Unfortunately, my boss doesn't think fishing or triathlon training can be done on company time so it makes for a busy life.  But, the combination does make many things tax deductable as business expensives.  

 I'm the reality check. dad of two that works as nuclear med tech. Basically do stress test to determine if you have been behaving yourself or like me abusing the fatty, yummy, crunchy stuff. reality set in.  Damn I'm 40 and my two kids can be a pain in the . I want to live long enough to get even.  seriously I looked at myself and said what happen? my wife told me about this site so I'm getting my feet wet. Basically my goal is to get back to a healthier and more active life.

Cool Thread - fun to read what people do.  I'm happy to say the I'm representing the US Postal Service.   I've been a letter carrier for just over 20 years.  Good job, love my route - walking all day. 

Co-Workers as me about training and racing - i say "I don't go postal, i go fast!"

Married (11 years this April) to a very supportive, loving wife.  Together we have two beautiful princesses (6 and 3).  Oldest one is in 1st grade and the youngest one stays home with Mom until pre-school this August.  Mom is a stay at home Mom for now...former chef (Scottsdale Culinary grad).

I'm a business systems analyst / project manager for the tech subsidiary company of a large health care provider.  Fortunately, my job is fairly predictable and doesn't consume my life.

 I also teach tennis and coach soccer periodically.  Currently, also studying for my PMP exam next month.

 My day has three parts: Early morning (we're talking 4:15/4:30am) - work out/train; 7 - 3ish work; 4 - 11 Family...kids in bed by 8pm...quality time with wife for the last 3 hours...boring, I know.  But I like it...
