Exercise to Ski

I didn't run tonight but I have offset that deficit by skiing tomorrow. I am sure I will get more than enough of a workout to make up for missing my run.

Next , I will be writing from the Hospital Room.

Run Run Run

I ran the loop in 12:08 last night. I tried for two laps the night before but decided to wait until next week to add a mile. I started running with my wife who is much faster, and she wore me out.

Running Update

I ran three out of 5ive days last week. My other two times were over 12 minute miles.

I ran last night. Did the mile in 12:12. Kind of rainy.

I'm going to attempt two miles tonight. We shall see how I do.

215ish!

The First Run of the Season

Ran last night. One Mile! 11 minutes, 33 seconds. 219 pounds

I was amazed that I made a mile my first time out of the gate. I haven't been able to go that far on a treadmill. I really need to keep this up.

216

I am finally getting serious about working out. I got out of bed at 5 this morning and made my way down to the gym. I started slow, spending 20 minutes on the Eliptical Cross Country machine and ten minutes on the treadmill. I actually ran half a mile, which I think is pretty good for a first day back in training.

The scale presented me with a pleasant surprise as shown in the heading of this entry. That is a nearly 5 pound loss over last week.

That is a Damn Fine Start.

New Year, New Weight Loss Plan

I weighed in this morning and the scale at the Club said 218.5 pounds. I will weigh myself tomorrow (or perhaps tonight) on the new scale at home and see how close they match.

In the meantime, my lovely wife and I have made a bet to lose 15 pounds by April First. The Loser owes the Winner $50.00. If we both lose the poundage, then we get to take the money and go gain the weight back at a dinner somewhere.

Phat in the New Year...Still!

The scale at the Club this morning said 220 pounds. The last time I tried the new one at home it said 217 point something.

Either way, I'm still over-weight.

And on the right side of the dirt.

So I have that going for me.
