The Sweetest Mile

Due to an great conversation with a beautiful woman, I was late getting to the gym. My excuse of being late could be confused with the fact I thought the gym closed at 11. So when I got there I found the guy who has a mow hawk. He signed me up for the gym so I knew he had the answer.
I asked “hey man what time does the gym close.” He rebutted “ten.” It was in a tone that stated you fat S.O.B. I told you that when you paid me money.
So I decided with the little time that I had I would hit the bike, then hit my chest workout. I went .87 on the bike and then hit a bench. After the bench I hit the fly’s. While on the fly machine in the midst of the country I could here that face of D rack and the promise I made to help with this.
I had 20 minutes and mow hawk guy and the guy who I do not think works there, but hangs out with mow hawk guy were what seemed to be in a hurry. So I decided to hit it hard jogging/slash borderline running, side note I usually walk my miles. Today was different I had Colder Weather from the Zac Brown Band playing on repeat and the aches of my calves. Long story in the midst of the running/slogging, I realized the adrenaline that real runner might feel. So today I post 1 mile, and I am more proud of my mile then the 8 I walked last week. D Rack you rock! Running we can be acquaintances now!!

I love running?????

This may be true...  I am sure everyone has had those days where they dislike (hate) absolutely everything about their life, and today was no exception for me.  But,  a couple of miles into my run I think there may have been a slightly upturned corner of the line across my face that could have been construed as not frowning.  Through all the aches, pains, injuries, and sweat running in my eyes; running is now giving me an insane sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

February 7: 4 miles

Century

It seems as though we have now, with my two miles from yesterday passed the century mark. What does that mean if we were running a relay and had a month to do so we be to Idaho Falls and back to Chubbuck. For those unfamiliar with the South East Idaho region, Idaho Falls is a major town and Chubbuck is the suburb of the greatest town known to man which is Pocatello. Which means land where God will dwell, in Shoshone. There have been major highlights to this weight loss and also a desire to be in shape. A desire to feel the burn in the calve. The desire to ponder entering in a 5k. It also has helped me realize that I can do more. So we may not be on pace and will pick it up, but it has been a great time none the less.

Monday: 2

good start

Even though we fell short of the 167 mile/month we are off to a great start.  We just need to average 175 for the remaining 11 months and we will be golden.  Plus, I hadn't logged any miles until the 11th, and we have Nate in our back pocket for an upcoming explosion of miles.  Between Robert and I we have already lost the weight equivalent of a 3 year old child. :o)

Clothes were flying everywhere.......

and again I exaggerate, but nonetheless one of my shirts was flying.  As in it is no longer in the lineup because it is toooo big.  :)  When I bought the shirt it was borderline whether or not it would fit, but now after losing a little weight it looks ridiculously big on me.  I normally wouldn't purchase anything that would be useless right away, but it was only $4, and I knew it was be a great psychological boost to "un-grow" it.

February 1: 5 miles

8 miles biked
