It’s been a while since I’ve written, but luckily it’s not because I was trying to avoid accountability or anything. In fact, a bunch of really cool things have happened in the last 90 days!
I’ve completed a 2nd triathlon (well, it was really a duathlon – run/bike/run – because the risk of rip currents [...]
So I guess it’s a good time for me to write about my experience with weight loss. Over the past year I’ve lost 81.4 lbs. The pic of me is a before and almost after (that’s about 10 or 15 lbs ago). The after pic is at the finish line of a sprint-distance triathlon.
It’s [...]
Well, I did it. Finished my first triathlon – a sprint-distance tri: 500yd swim, 14.2mi bike, 3.1mi (5K) run. Felt pretty good throughout. My results (i.e., my Personal Best):
8th (of 9) in age group Overall 48th (of 63) Swim: 4th in age group Time – 10:07 Transition 1 – 3:37 [...]
In this article I expressed my exasperation with Pinterest, the visual, social bookmarking site that’s experienced explosive growth in recent months. Perhaps because of my gender and/or online habits, I just wasn’t getting it.
Well, I received a ton of feedback (thank you, everyone!), so here’s three things that I found helped make the [...]
I found this on a LinkedIn group and loved it so much that I thought I would borrow it. I can’t wait to see your responses!
Here’s the challenge: Without using “I” or “me” or the name of your company, explain what you do in 7 words.
Let’s hear ‘em!

I’ve been training for a triathlon for several weeks. My mantra has been “faster, longer, harder” (that’s what she said) – I’ve kept pushing to cover more distance, ride/swim/run for a longer amount of time, and work to get more power out of myself to incrementally improve. And it’s worked pretty well so far, I [...]
What's the deal?!
This would be more in the “Chris Boivin doesn’t know” category.
I have a Pinterest account. I’ve pinned a few things and scanned a few boards. I follow a few boards related to some things I’m interested in, but still I maybe go there once every 1-2 weeks tops. I truly [...]
LinkedIn came a little late to the party with their news feed. The Facebook-style, personalized news feed didn’t show up on LinkedIn until about 8 months ago (years after Twitter and Facebook were letting users push updates ad infinitum). This may have been for good reason, as LinkedIn is a different type of social [...]
… or at least they enhance my running experience and I think they’d be good for you, too!
I’m still a novice runner; I actually don’t even truly “run”, I am still doing jogging/walking intervals. Today I ran a 5K route with a jog 6 minutes/walk 1 minute interval. And I have to say, I [...]
In the revitalized Riverside neighborhood at Park Street and King Street, there is a lot of consternation about current and potential parking problems. There are many thriving restaurants in the area, led by the success of Kickbacks Gastropub (go there if you haven’t – it’s an awesome place: delicious food, tons of different beers and [...]
