Monday Running

Well headed out this morning, still not feeling 100% from my little head cold that i developed last week, and not knowing how far i was going to run this morning. At first i felt that maybe i would do a quick 2.5 -3 miles. but as my feet carried me, i kept going, and soon decided to make it my longest day yet. Did about 5 miles this morning. my pace is picking up as well, b/c i did it at a speed a little more than 5mile/hour. Boy my hamstrings where talking to me as i was ending the run, they quickly realized that this was the farthest that i have been so far. You know it is a good feeling, a lot better than sleeping in or sitting on the couch that is for sure. A good friend of mine, Cerrelle, told me that she was going for a 10 mile run on saturday morning, i thought about it, that is quite a distance, 10 miles. then i was wondering how long it will be till i am running 10 miles. I do think that i just might run the 15 k at the gasparilla distant Classic. you know, i have enough time to train for it. I have three 5k's coming up next month. I am running 4.5-5 miles already several times a week. I bet that come February i will be up to it, in-fact that is going to be my goal. to be ready for the 15 k. as long as i am feeling well, that is what i am going to run. Then i think i will work on my sprint Tri, so i will be adding in a lot more biking and swimming.

So far i am down 75lbs. i have a solid 45 more pounds that i want to lose before December 15. According to my progress that should be able to happen, i just need to keep focused, I have 82 days and almost 12 weeks. At my average of 5lbs/week that will take me down 60lbs. Which will take me to my goal easily, in-fact that will take me down to lower than i weighed before heading to high-school. The key is staying focused. I appreciate all the help from my friends and ask that you keep me motivated, and keep me going.

I really can't wait to see the face of my dear friend Cerrelle, on December 15, when she sees me after i have lost 120 lbs. I have not let on to my weight loss yet at all, so neither her nor her friends have any idea, it is going to be great, seeing her face. Last time i saw her i was at my heaviest, i saw a photo of us and while looking at me, i am really disappointed in myself, that i let myself get to that point. I will not go back, i can't, i will not let myself.


See you all out there.
