I'm foot loose

Hah! Dang it felt alright. I ran. I ran like a rhino on a bed of pillows. I ran for quite a ways in my standards. Well, it's the first time in about a year that I ran and it was better than I expected. I used to run for about 200 yards and peter out due to stains in my legs and a wuss mentality. Geez, I used to hike mountains, run footballs for the FIGHTING SCOUTS, squat behind the plate for the FIGHTING SCOUTS, and carry heavy hoses into fires. This time it was almost a whole mile but I thought I could keep going but my dog kept wanting to smell the "roses". I felt, I'll do better next time and I'm pretty psyched that I will.

I've been working my legs in my weight training routine and stretching them out as I go. Having kick ass new shoes helps too. These new NB's I just got are pretty cool even though they look like moon boots. I have a general goal to someday run a marathon and I'm sure it's going to be a couple of years before I attempt such a feat and even though, where is my weight training going to take me from here. I'm just going to truck on as far as my determination will take me.

Rock on.

-10 lbs

It's finally coming off. Even though I pigged out on some Cincinnati chili dogs and a fair share of beer and margaritas over the 4th of July weekend, I managed to burn a few pounds off. I've even gone up a couple of notches on my belt. Funny thing about my belt, I've had this belt since since the early ninties and it has holes that I had to put in because it was too big when I got it (it was gift). I remember putting them in and the looked well used and now I've got the holes at the other end doing the task of keeping my britches up.

I know it hasn't been going as fast as I thought it would be but I am an older dude now the caveman instincts of the human body is trying to hoard all the fat it can to stay alive while the younger cavemen go out and hunt down a mammoth. Damned evolution. I have set some goals and hopefully I can reach them on a timebasis that I have set for myself. Baby steps.
