8 MILES 2-21-2009

Ouch! The feet did fine as did the legs but I had my new, unwashed, TNT shirt on and inspite of the Glide to prevent chafing I still had raw nipples. Had to take off my shirt to preserve sanity and probably grossed out a few people. Good thing I run at the back of the pack!
Weight went up in spite of burning thru 1300 calories on the run. Lesson learned. Smaller portions and less I earned it mentality. Weight at 225.

Valentines Day Run

Down the coast from Encinitas a distance of three miles and back. An absolutely glorious morning and the lungs were trying to get stronger. No problems this week but it's time to get back on a diet focus on the goal of weight and 5 hours. I can't carry this weight and pull it off. Perhaps protein shakes?? Valentines Day goodies got me. Back to 227lbs. Bad boy!

Week 2

Well it's Winter and we just missed a rain storm by minutes Saturday morning! I got in six miles and hit a low of 221 lbs before heading to Mimi's Cafe to refuel with a few team members. It's still difficult and I don't feel as if I've found my groove yet. The training program will get me there.
Hey here's a picture of me stretching as I wait to cross Carlsbad Blvd. with some fellow runners.
My mentor took this shot. What timing!!
