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 happy to be inspiring others

I had a great past week! The week started well with nice running weather.  I had a great warm-up run near my gym.  After the run, my personal trainer Ken Cutcher and I had a great workout at Anytime Fitness.  We did a lot of lifting and core exercises. Tuesday I was featured in the Norwalk...

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...

Furey adopts his trainer's motto: No excuses!

Last Monday I wrote about the week after my birthday being one the best I have had in a long time. I had lost a lot of weight, my exercises went well and I won the FIT Challenge Challenge at Anytime Fitness. This Monday is a bit different. While it was not a bad week, it certainly was a let down...

Furey seeks donations for his Warrior Dash

My busy schedule is making this FIT Challenge more difficult, and past this week was no different. Every night I had something going on, from attending meetings to working on my master's degree. I traveled to Columbus for a conference and had to help sort and pass out Girl Scout cookies. All these...

Furey disappointed in first FIT Challenge

 Saturday was an exciting day for all of the FIT Challenge contestants. We had our first FIT Challenge physical challenge at Bodi n  Balance in Port Clinton.   As a normally-competitive person, I began to get a bit nervous and excited the night before. Many thoughts ran through my head as I tried...
