A Little Bit of Catch Up

It's been a while since my last post. A little to bring you up to speed on.

I ran another 5k in Springfield last week. My goals were met. I wanted to be able to run the whole race and break into the 30's on my time. I did run the whole thing and my finish time was 39:36. It was pretty cool because I got to run it with my brothers and nephews. That made it fun.

Tomorrow is my second "6 week test." I had some strength goals, 15 push-ups, 10 burpees? (I think that is right). I am not worried about those. I will do them. I set a 10 pound weight loss goal. I am a little nervous about that. I feel good about losing 7-8 but might fall a few pounds short of 10. While I have made great strides in eating and exercise I still have some habits to kick. I guess I can't expect to change 15 years of bad nutritional thinking in just 12 weeks.

Thanks for all the help and support. I am still, overall, having fun. The competitive side in me really likes setting goals and working towards them. I also think I am truly addicted to running. I know, hard for me to believe too. I didn't run yesterday and all day I could do nothing but try and think of how I can make time to get a run in. I enjoy the feeling afterward.
