Getting dark… waking up later… need to run faster

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

As the year moves on and summer turns into fall, there is less daylight.

So I am faced with a challenge, I have less light when running in the morning.  I may have to run with a reflective vest and flashlight.  My 1 mile route is decently lit and I have run it in the dark at night.

Or I can run faster during the daylight.

We still have not reached fall equinox, so there still is light.

On another note… I am running 2 miles not just run1 walk 1.  I have not committed to it being the norm yet.  Maybe in September or when I crack 270 on a steady basis.

Speaking of weight…

Weight: 276.4

Taking a break

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

I’m more than a little burned out and I need some rest.  The previous night I only had 2 hours of sleep and I know it is affecting my work.

Its also raining.

Starting to sound like I am coming up with excuses, but once again life happens.  Also I am still going to the gym after work.

Weight: 276.8

Survived another weekend

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Not sure if this is a trend and I will have to look back at the history.  But it sure does seem like I gain weight on the weekends.

It could be that Friday’s is a triple workout and the scale is skewed a bit.

Anyway, I am still running below 280.

Let’s see what happens during the course of the week.

Weight: 277.8

Last day in Canada

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

I ran a 1+1 but I have to note that I did hike up some bridge called Capilano Suspension Bridge.  Was 30.00 Canadian to enter.  kind of Pricey.

Anyway, this has been a real disruptive trip.  I don’t know what my weight will be.   We’ll see tomorrow.

I did a dumb thing today

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

So I am still in Canada, this time I ran the same route as yesterday but added another 4 miles.

You can say I ran a 1+5.

So I went 6 miles.  The dumb thing is that I did not hydrate before my run.  Pretty dumb thing .

Anyway no weight today… but hopefully I am losing.

Had a busy day

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

This is a pretty late post.  I kind of wanted to get it in before calling it a day.

It was a busy day though, went to church, got new shoes, and celebrated a birthday with a friend.

I would like to elaborate on the shoes though.  I went to this special shoe store that helped me get right fitting shoes.

Watch tomorrows post.

My run today was interesting because it was at covington.  I was waiting for my wife to buy herself some stuff so I decided to mark a mile off with our minivan and ran that route.

Oh yeah as for today’s weight, this was already late in the day, no workout and no morning bathroom yet.

Weight: 287.8
