run a 5k (read all 2 entries…)
Not happening 8 months ago

Early in my training I pulled something in my back. Tough luck. There’s no way I’m going to meet this goal this time, but I still wanna do this!

Maybe by the time summer rolls around I’ll be ready…



excercise every day (read all 8 entries…)
that was close 9 months ago

I almost didn’t go today.

My gym closes at 10:30, and I got home from work at 8:30. I figured I’d head to the gym around 9:00.

9 o’clock came and went, and I was moping around the house feeling bad about myself. Maybe I wasn’t capable of losing weight. After all, I’d been working out three whole days with not a single pound to show for it. In fact, I’d gained a couple pounds. Sure, it’s probably muscle, but it’s discouraging when you’re overweight.

But I mustered up some energy around 9:50 and hopped in the car. Only got a 15 minute cardio workout after stretching, but hey, it was better than nothing.

And whaddya’ know? I lost a pound!

I know this kind of change is gradual, but it’s good to get some statistical reinforcement.

I will keep you all aprised of future progress.



run a 5k (read all 2 entries…)
the goal is 3 months 9 months ago

3 months from now I hope to be able to run a 5k.

the first stab at running didn’t go so well. well, it didn’t go badly, just… not well.

I attempted (and succeeded) to alternate jogging and walking around a track at my local gym. 60 seconds of running, 90 seconds of walking. I made it through all 10 sets that I wanted to do, but at the end, it got hard. Real hard. Really had to push myself.

Anyway, I’ll keep that up for a couple weeks and then move on to some harder stuff (I hope).
