Wow . . . Exactly one year ago to this day, 2 Fat Nerds went live with our first post. The concept of the blog was simple: Brian and I would randomly post our thoughts on random things like music, technology, food, and most importantly exercise. Would anyone read it? Did it matter if they [...]
A post by Brian Dollard, The O.G 2FN So a few weeks back I all but stopped working out because of an injury. I sprained my left wrist (and probably my right) and may have done the same to my left elbow. It’s incredible to find out how much a bit of pain in certain [...]
Hello hello! Here at 2 Fat Nerds, each Wednesday is a Weigh-In day, where all of the data from the previous week is collected, displayed, and analyzed. Let's dig in to the results! Weight Each week, members who have opted to have their weights publicly displayed for the world (or at least for my mom!) to [...]
Deciding which product to consume while exercising is not an easy decision. The number of products is extremely impressive, and the differences between products can be significant. Clif Bars (Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip) First, though we didn't eat this during actual exercise, I wanted to start with this product. I've eaten this many times BEFORE [...]
With the Boston Half Marathon quickly approaching, our training schedule has reached its peak. Saturday was our longest scheduled run, and we truly felt it was a make or break week for us. It was the gut-check that we needed to pass in order to feel prepared for race day. It was a cold and [...]
Work has been steady on the updated tracking system, and it is time for another teaser! Subject to change! This obviously is subject to change, but the calendar has been reworked significantly with a ton of added functionality. Also, the system is now capable of auto-calculating the Chain Game! I'll be reworking the specifics [...]
There is something downright pleasant about riding a bicycle to work. After three days of my self-propelled commute to work this week, counting Tuesday's horrible decisions, I am hooked. It feels great to be out in the open air so early in the morning. Movement gets your blood circulating, wakes you up, gives you a little bit of [...]

Weight Each week, members who have opted to have their weights publicly displayed for the world (or at least for my mom!) to [...]
Here is my tale of woe! It all started off with good intentions. Yesterday I made an appointment for my car inspection (which happens to be a couple weeks overdue) for this morning. My plan was to get up and get the car there by 8:00 a.m., walk the few short blocks to work, and [...]
Well, I finally got the ten-mile run done. It was a week delayed, but it can now be crossed off the list. That is a long friggen time to run. On Saturday I woke up around 8:00 a.m. knowing that it would be relatively cool out and the best time to go run. I also [...]
