Since last week Monday I did not run even one mile. I have a very good reason but it has nothing to do with running, or being lazy. Either way it is personal and I will not post it here. I am dying to get running again, it’s driving me nuts. I think tomorrow I [...]

Today was W8D1 for me, 2.75 miles. Today was also the day my son goes in for surgery so I pushed it a bit. I ran 3.0 miles in 34:28. At 2.70 miles I increased the incline to 9 and slowed down to about a 12:50 pace. I did this for .05 mile. Whoa! I [...]

Yesterday I ran my third day of 2.5 miles making a total of 7.5 miles for the week. Not bad but soon I hope to run that in one day. Progress, slow and steady. My knee is hurting today but I am sure that will go away. I did W7 in three consecutive days, I [...]

As usual I took the weekend off from running and happened to get sick at the same time. Everyone suggests you shouldn’t run if you have a chest cold but it’s okay if you have a head cold. I kinda had both so when Monday came around I didn’t run. Not like I could have [...]
A Word On Weight loss…
Posted in Road 2 Healthy, tagged eating, fit, Weight on September 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I guess I should say something about my weight loss progress. I was a major goal of mine in the beginning but has quickly lost importance. I still want to lose weight and my goal is to be about 145 to 150. I figure this is a good weight for me since I know I [...]

Yesterday I successfully ran 2.25 miles all at one time. Yes it is amazing but I’m not done yet. My goal with the C25K plan is a full three mile (5K). Once I have accomplished that it will be on to five miles (8k), then on and on. My speed is okay for now, for [...]
Nicotine Free!

Today I forgot to put a patch on. Trying to get the boys moving in the morning and out the door to catch the bus it slipped my mind. I didn’t think about it until the ride to work, I then immediately wanted a cig. Soon I forgot about it and went about my day. [...]

Posted in C25K, tagged C25K, running on September 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I noticed I have been working out with my heart rate in the low 170’s. Everyone is telling me I am running too fast and I need to slow down. So today I did. I ran the Week 6 Day 1, an interval run with 1/2 mile run, 1/4 mile walk, 3/4 mile run, another [...]
W1 D1 – Road to 100 Crunches -And Rock Solid ABS!
Posted in 100 Push-ups / Crunches, tagged crunches, fitness, sit-ups on September 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I think I mentioned that I was going to transfer over the ideas of the 100 push-ups plan to a 100 crunches plan. Today was Week 1 Day 1 of my seven week journey to rock solid abs. Or at least great abs covered by some belly (which in time will go away – to [...]
