Went to Canada Today

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Normally I do a morning run with a evening gym workout.  But I had to go to Canada so I did a four plus

Time 49:02

Pretty slow but within parameters.

Anyway tomorrow I will run the park.  Let’s see how I do, taking it easy though since I got the official 5k on Sunday.

Weight: 250.0

Trying to get body into rythm

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Talk about tired.  I took an ambien to try and get my body to follow a normal sleep cycle.

This morning I felt like it did not complete its goal.

I may take it again tonight.  Anyway, today is a rest day.   So I did a nice easy run.

One lap timed out to 15:39.42 pretty sad.

Finally, today is the 11 month mark.  Interesting.

Weight: 249.6

Paying for insomnia

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Yesterday I could not make it.  I had to go home early from work and I slept.

Thus I missed my gym workout.

But I did make some of it up today, after burning about 740 calories on the treadmill and over 300 on the elliptical, I decided to use the dumbells and work my chest.

Not a full workout like what I would have had at the gym but enough.

I jumped on the scale at work and wow, was at 245

Too bad, this is the official weight

Weight: 250.8

Insomnia sucks

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Couldn’t sleep last night, I know today is going to be a rough one but I know I have a presentation to do today.

At least I got out and ran,

Time: 25:19.61

Then got gym workout tonight.   I should be exhausted by tonight.

Weight: 250.8

Wow, thought I did better

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Well, ran a 5k, based on the feel of the run I swear I thought I broke my record.  To my surprise I did not.

Pretty bummed.

Time: 37:35

Well, may next time.  But the rest was badly needed.  My psyche may have taken a hit, but my my physical being needed healing.

At least I proved my weight was an anomoly yesterday.

Weight: 252.2

So Tired Today

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

I don’t know why I was so lethargic today.  I slept well.

Anyway, after church took a nap and went to party and got home late.

Could only to some quick pushups and situps .

Weight is no surprise, I would say it is an anomaly.    It will go down.  It was right after dinner.

Weight: 259.0

Sometimes… Nothing

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Just did pushups and situps today.  Had a nice long run planned, but sometimes stuff happens, and it stays private.

Weight: 254.2

Definately Experiencing Burnout

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I don’t know if its the air quality, tired, lazy, or fear of the long running, but I certainly am not running at peak performance.

I did a 2 lap this morning and came in at 27:02.62, within parameters but I wish I could have done better.   Maybe I really should have taken time yesterday to truly rest instead of attempting a fast run.

Anyway I pulled up the Army Physical Fitness Test yesterday while I was on the bus

I think I will make it a goal to be able to pass that test.

Weight: 249.4

Air… need air

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Alright, today was supposed to be a light day, but I wanted to see what my legs could do for speed (vs distance) so after work I tried to run as fast as I could for 1 lap (which is a little more than a mile), I thought I would’ve done better then I did but I had a hard time breathing.  Worse than usual.  Cause after the run I was coughing up some gunk.

I think if I had full lung capacity I would have done better than what I did.  Maybe even crack 10 minutes.  Anyway my time was 10:53.78.  Not disappointing but I thought I could do better, like studying hard for an exam but just got the wrong questions asked during the exam and scored a B+ vs a solid A.

Weight: 251.0

Thinking I could go faster

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Still dread my workouts.  I wonder when this dread will stop because it sure hurts my desire.

Anyway, did pretty good regardless.  I ran a 5k in decent time.

Time: 36:41

5 seconds short of beating the record.

Tomorrow is a rest day, normally I take an easy run.  I think for my one lap, I am going to push… hard.

Interesting number for the weight.  I think this is the first time I hit it on the nose.

Weight: 250.0
