Furey places first in 5K

This week’s column is all about numbers. First was the number eight.  That is how many days of school I have left before I can really start focusing on my final push toward my weight loss goal of 75 pounds by June 28. The second numbers are 5,000 and two.  The 5000 is for 5K, while two is for the...

Furey: 'Finding time to work out is very difficult'

This past week was one of the busiest I have had during the FIT Challenge. When the week started I originally did not think I was going to have time to see my trainer Ken Cutcher or visit Anytime Fitness in Norwalk.  Luckily I was able to get to the gym once and walk/run a couple times during the...

Furey: 'No one cares who wins'

At the urging of a coworker I decided to run the Huron Lighthouse 5K on Saturday.  My friends Wendy and Bill came along with me and at 9 a.m. we hit the course. It was a very windy race, but I am very happy with how my race went.  Wendy and Bill are much better runners than me, but they stuck with...

Furey won't let Boston tragedy stop him from running

What a difference a week makes! After being disappointed April 14 in my attempt to run a sub-30 minute 5K, I took the week off from running to rest my hamstring.  I even went to Fisher-Titus Medical Center to have the Physical Therapy department look at it.  Unfortunately, there was no pain while I...

Furey falls short of his 5K goal

I didn’t achieve my goal of running a 5K under 31 minutes.  Disappointed - yes.  Surprised - no. We write our columns on Sunday mornings and submit by them by noon. At the time of my writing last week I was confident that I would do it. Then I went out and ran sprints at the Whitney Field track. I...

Furey runs 3.7 miles without walking

I spent this past week on Spring Break, and that meant I had extra time to be in the gym! My personal trainer Ken Cutcher  and I worked out a few times during the week, and I attended one of his TRX  classes. I did workouts that included super sets, and got in as much cardiovascular work as I could...
