2 days off to rest wound up being 9 months

Wow-Time really does fly when your having fun.I was really into training and took a couple of days off to rest and here it is 9 months later .Damn, how did that happen? I am really serious now.Was around a scale the other day and stepped on just to see and what a kick to the crotch that was! I've really got to do something about it so here we are again.Went for a run/walk this evening and apart from my back stiffening up and forcing me to walk I think I did rather well. I plan on heading out bright and early tomorrow morning and then it is into the everyday mode.This time will have results.I intend to post after ever successful event.That way I can motivate myself into doing 2 things.Let the games begin !!!!

A Hot Dog & A Shake !!

Another Great Week of training !!I have run the past 10 days straight and nothing to complain about.I have been up & running the past 2 morning as it has been hell hot here and not getting any better. I am now going to take the next 2 days off and just rest then I am back at it again on Monday.Feeling really good and I even took it a few feet further today. Just felt the energy was there and I felt good so why not push it a little so I just kept running.Really felt strong at the end so all of this is starting to pay off.Really great weekend planned so CHEERS !!!

What A Long Strange Trip It's Been..

It's been 14 days since my last posting-Really? Seems longer but Oh well.Still out there hitting the pavement and I am feeling better and stronger.Have a pretty good route marked out and I am following the schedule pretty good so I am seeing results and I should be ready to do the Huntington Beach Half in February.I was just thinking on staying with my current regiment then going to "2 A Days" in October.I Have to start working on getting up in the morning .That seems to be my weakness.Other than that I am fine.Until Tomorrow...

It's Easy Taking It Day By Day..

Another great training day ! Feels like it is getting easier every time that I go out.I am feeling stronger about my running as well.I am still out for 40 minutes but I am running a lot more and it really feels good.Back pain is gone ( but not forgotten) and I am starting to notice a little change ( not much but so).I have even gotten out of bed for a few early morning sessions ( which I hope to partake in tomorrow ) and then perhaps an afternoon session as well then I take the weekend off to evaluate my progress.Until tomorrow morning.

Boom Boom Out Go The Lights....

I did it.What I have been stressing over since I have started my training program.Every time I start a program I do this but now I guess that I have it out of the way I can stop obsessing about it.What I am talking about is I fell.I was into my running portion of my training and I was just going along and I caught my left toe on an uneven portion of the sidewalk and "down goes Frazier" I was out.Skinned my left knee and chewed up my palms but I sat there for a moment and then just jumped up and continued on and it was fine.Just feel stupid about it but whats done is done so just go.Get out there and rack up some miles.I'll feel better about it .......

Work,Work,Work....

Working towards that goal is hard. I took 3 days off and what a difference.Yesterday was awesome.Added a couple of blocks to my route and even with that it only took me 36 minutes.Today same route but it took 40 minutes,so go figure.Anyway felt really slow and rusty today but still went out and put in the miles.Not going to stop- ever !! I figure that I took enough time off getting out of shape that I can not stop again -EVER !I feel good though and the program seems to be working for me so I am going to follow this through and see what happens.Hopefully tomorrow will be as good or even better than today.

It's A Beautiful Day....

What A great workout today !Just got back from a great 40 minute workout session and it
went well.I never felt better and I did a little more than my usual route and ran a bit further today as I just had 2 days off. What a difference a couple of days rest will do for your total workout. I really feel good !! Just hope that I can get another wo in tomorrow .Let's keep this ball rolling..
