This is a Real Bitch!

February 23, 2010

When I first started this renewed effort at getting my health back, I had visions of grandeur…I realized that it would be hard work, but I figured that the weight would fall off.  I also thought that this blog would be a great thing to publicly commit myself so that I couldn’t slip backwards.  Well, [...]

4.5 Miles

February 17, 2010

Am posting from the office, I just got in from the American River Bike Trail.  I didn’t realize how close it is to the office, probably about 1/4 of a mile.  Got out and did a 2 mile loop and headed back.  Almost 60 minutes on the button.  It feels great to be ‘that guy’ who changes at [...]

Consistently Inconsistent!

February 17, 2010

I realized this morning that I haven’t posted for a couple of days…man I got out of whack last week while I was gone.  Weighed in on Monday and dropped another 3 pounds.  Not what I wanted, however, after last week, I was glad that I posted a loss….I am finding the food thing tough [...]

Back on Track

February 14, 2010

Got back from the trip to the Coast late Thursday; spent the week on hikes and long hours watching kids…thought I was in better shape to handle the trip.  When I got home Thursday, I was whipped.  Broke a sweat at a Father/Daughter dance with the most beautiful girl…best thing of the night (other than [...]

10K Super Bowl Run and Point Bonita

February 7, 2010

My training partner and I participated in the Super Bowl run today.  It was a 10K around Sac State and the American River Bike Trail.   He hit a wall at about 4 miles today so we slowed things down.  Up until then we were on a 14:00 minute pace, probably why he hit a wall.  [...]

Yoga Girl and a Crazy Week

February 5, 2010

Last night was Yoga at work night.  I didn’t know what to expect and was very suprised.  Yes Virginia, Yoga can kick your ass and at the same time make you feel pretty damn good afterwards.  When we were finished I coudn’t believe that I had a soakin mop on the top of my head.  [...]

Mental games
I have been watching the Biggest Loser and I am fascinated with the show this season.  Not because of the weight loss and the hoopla behind it; in my mind the show has begun to focus on the root cause of the issue for each of the contestants.  Sure it is dramatized, contestants blowing [...]

Finally a Great Tuesday Night

February 2, 2010

Tuesday nights with the training group has been rough.  The last 4 weeks have been messed up.  Sore knees, cold water, and just plain cold have hampered my efforts.  I got to redeem myself tonight.  Saturdays are about distance and Tuesday nights are about speed and increasing pace.  The order of the night was a [...]

8 Miles Felt Great; Tonight UGH!

January 30, 2010

Paid particular attention to prep for this morning’s 8 mile jaunt.  Ate well yesterday, had some brown rice pasta at dinner last night and even carried some energy gummies during the walk/run.  I am surprised, the 8 miles was not really that difficult…well at least while I was doing it.  Alex, my training partner, had a [...]
