Ate a lot this weekend

Weight 221.  Did 4 miles on Sat, but ate like a herd of buffalo.  Gained some weight. Will try to get back on schedule...will do 5 miles this morning, not for time, but for mileage accumulation.

Ran today!

Weight 220. Finally, I did some running today...I only got 4hrs of sleep last night, but I was able to crank out a nice 3 mile run in 27:08.  I did the last half mile in 4:00. It felt very good. I am thinking about using Thursday runs as my "timed trials" at this 3 mile distance.  This way I can guage my overall conditioning...Last year I had gotten to the point where I was able to do it in about 25:00.  My goal is to be able to run it in 22:00 by the end of August and 21:00 by mid October (2 weeks prior to the Marine Corps Marathon).

Weight 220: I haven't run in a few days...I can't seem to find the time, plus the weather hasn't been cooperating...okay, I know, I know, I need to get past the excuses and go for it.  There was a time when I would go out no matter what...I remember running in the rain, while I had bronchitis...that is a little extreme, but I wonder if i can tap into that determination again? 

Did not run on the weekend

Weight 221. Okay, okay, so I had all these grandiose plans to run over the weekend, but I didn't run...life happens. But, I DID mow, and as far as I am concerend that is like 6 miles of power walking...hey it takes me an hour and a half, I sweat like crazy, and my heart rate is very elevated during the whole time. So it counts for something...that is my story and I am sticking to it!! {okay, okay, I will run today}

Ran today

Weight 223. Well, I did 3 miles on Tuesday, and 3 miles on Thursday...maybeI will do another 3 on Saturday, followed by 5 on Sunday. I am still not in the condition I was in this time last year, but if I can keep running, I figure I will be back to what I was within a month. In any event, I am behind my own training plan...hopefully I will be able to catch up without hurting myself.

225 pounds. Mowed the lawn yesterday took 1.5 hours...didn't run this morning, will run tomorrow...need to sign up for Marine Corps Marathon to be run in October 31.

Weight: 219.5 pounds. I had planned on running/walking 10 miles today (with a completion goal of 1:50:00, or about 11 min per mile), but it is too cold outside with wind chills in the single digits. this could derail my preparation for the Norfolk Half marathon in 4 weeks...I needed these 10 miles to build my endurance...oh well, maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
