Ouch eeeek, ouch!

to whomever is reading this:

Today I actually got off my butt and went for a job. I jogged for 2 miles. It took me 21 minutes. Thats a long 10.5 minutes per mile. It's been a very busy week. My 2nd child was born on Tuesday Sept 22nd. I'm a very happy father of two boys.

As you know It's been a little while since I have really pushed myself in my workouts. But today I had enough. I can tell that I'm gaining some of the wieght that I have lost. Quick reminder. June 1st, I weighed in at 219 lbs. That was day one of my weight loss competition. The last time I weighed in was on Sept 21st. I was 198.6. That's a loss of 20.4 lbs. But get this. It has been 32 days since I have been running! Thats over a month. That is way to long.

I only went out for 2 miles and I really felt it. My legs were heavier I started feeling side aches. It wasn't good. But I feel great that I finished it. I have been in the competition so far for 118 days. My main goal is to to get to 180 lbs. I'm guessing that I weigh about 200 lbs right now.

My short term goal is in the next 16 days ( the next time i wiegh in) to be at 197 lbs. This will put be back on track back to my lowest weight since the competition.

I'm going to start doing this 10k training plan. Here is a link to the 8 week plan of 10k training.

I don't have a 10k that I'm going to run. I just wanted a plan that I can stick to that has consistent cardio. So far this is my plan.

hope to be posting soon about my new plan!

signing off for now,
