Well, I don’t really know where to start. I have not kept up with the blogging as well as I should have, but I will try to update more often.
Monday 11/15 – I was still getting over the bug I had, so I was not feeling up to doing a workout of any kind. Also, while I was done with the stomach bug, I think I pulled something in my back. Awesome, huh? Once one thing is over something else pops up. Well, they didn’t say this would be easy!
Tuesday 11/16 – Back was still tight. Did some light stretching to try and loosing up some, but other then that I took it easy. Probably should have gone for a walk or something. Feel like I wasted a good day.
Wednesday 11/17 – In the AM I did some light stretching and then I tried to do some yoga in the PM with the wife. Have you ever witnessed a 345 lb man do yoga? It’s not the prettiest thing in the world, but I got to admit I am pretty graceful. Um take that back, my downward dog is not something to be admired. On a good note, the yoga did kind of help my back. It was not as tight the next day.
Thursday 11/18 – Mike texted me on Wednesday to see if I wanted to go for a run this evening, I reluctantly said yes. I totally did not want to go for a run. Heck, I did not want to do anything remotely resembling exercise. It’s funny how things change. I use to love working out, but I guess then I was working towards a more tangible goal. I worked out to be better every Friday night. Now, I work out to be better in life in general and I guess I just can’t see the big picture. The journey just seems too long, but I am going to stick to this path and see where it takes. I want to be that person who likes to exercise and get moving as much as possible. I guess I am going to have to chop this journey into smaller pieces and mike mini-milestones.
Anyways, let’s get back on topic. So, I went to Mike’s house and surprising I was early. Mike was not even home yet. I guess my mind was thinking “if I had to do it, I might as well get it over with”. I was ready to go when I got to his house, but once he got home and dressed to go run, I totally was not feeling it. But you can not go to someone’s house to go run and then tell them you do not feel like running. So, off we went. It was not a terrible running/walk, but it just did not feel like the first time, but I figure every day will not be a good day, just keep you head down and push through it. Even though I did not feel like running, I did log my best mile. There’s the silver lining. It was an uneventful run. We ran, walked, and talked.
Distance: 2.67 miles
Time: 40:48
Pace 15’32’’
Total Distance for the week: 8.95 miles
Best Mile: 15’38’’
I am tired, sore and my lower back hurts. Hopefully Next week I will have fewer problems next week. All in all I feel the week went well. I did not push myself to hard, but I could have done a few more days of walking, yoga, or P90X. So, next week I will try to do more.
