Was it really just back in May when I declared my fitness goals for 2014?
I mean in one way, it seems like just yesterday and so I’m surprised it’s been over 5 months since I posted anything. In another way … holy cr%$, it’s already almost November?
The scale doesn’t lie, and it’s apparent that I’ve not been keeping up with my exercise routine … that readout keeps taunting me as it’s touched 180 at least once and not dropping below 172 like I was wanting. And with no 5Ks having been completed yet this year, my last ditch fall back plan is in full effect. I MUST RUN THE 5K TURKEY TROT!
Having just gotten back from last weekend’s funeral and separately celebrating a nephew’s first birthday, the march is on to turkey day! Travel or not, I can do this. Since Google Analytics tells me no one is watching this blog anymore anyway, I hope you don’t mind if I start keeping a daily training log to hopefully motivate me (and worst case shame me) into getting ready to run the entire 5K this coming Thanksgiving Day.
For today, Oct 27th, travel or not I was able to clock in 38 minutes on the treadmill for 2.37 miles total. Heart rate stayed high even with the slower pace, but I jumped back into my C25K training with W5D1 and made a pretty good run (no pun intended) at it.
Here’s to another update tomorrow!
