1st & 2nd Run

Friday November 12^th 2010

Weight: 345

Man, this day started early. I believe Mike was at my house at 6 or 630. I totally did not want to get up, especially to go for a run. After getting dressed and eating a banana we were off. The run/walk was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, we took it pretty easy. During the run we talked about goal setting and where I want to be in life. On the goal setting side of the house, I am slowly coming up with that answer. “Where do I want to be in life (pertaining to Health)? That’s a good question, I’ve really never thought realistically about this question. You get a total in your head, but you never plan on how to get to that number. So I have some work to do. I need to figure out my goals and where I would like to be (specifically).

Well, enough of the mind stuff, lets get to the physical. The run was not to bad, but there was a hill or two where mike decided to give me a pep talk up the hills, but you know what, I so wanted to stop and chop him in his throat, but I am glad he pushed me up the hills, because it showed that I can not things as long as I put my head down and keep pushing. It’s always a mental game. There were so many times my legs were burning and scream for me to stop, but my little Jimmy the Cricket (aka Mike), continued to say “You can do it”; Don’t stop!”. We finally finished our run/jog/walk. My stats or below:

Distance 3.40 miles

Time 54:14

Pace 15’54’’ per mile

Woke up early again, and Mike and I went for a pretty quick easy run. Just to loosen up the tight muscles. The start of the run was hard, since every muscle in my legs were hurting. I pushed through the pain and everything started to feel much better. There was not much to report today. We finished our run and did some stretching. Stats are below:

Distance 1.78 miles

Time 29:07

Pace 16’16” per mile

I had a little slip up today. The wife and I went to Burger King for dinner. I guess I need to step up an start cooking dinner, when the wife does not feel like cooking.
