back in the game

I have gotten out of shape in the last 2 years. I'm slowly working my way back. I started a new weight loss challenge at work. I'm over 200lbs right now. I will get below 200lbs.

I have worked out a few times this month. But I'm starting today with logging my first workout.

Today I just ran 2 miles in 21:40 min. I first warmed up with some light jump roping.

next month I will be playing 12 hours of basketball to raise money for a hospital in Cambodia. I'm hoping to drop some weight before that and get into better shape.

that's all I got for now.

I'm back

stay tuned...

17 miles ouch!

I ran 17 miles on Sunday. Man It was pretty tough. But I was prepared as far as having enough water and snacks. One of my good friends came out to run with me. He joined me a little after halfway. He brought his 3 year old daughter and ran with her in the jogger. Towards the end of the run my legs felt so heavy! I walked a little bit towards the end. but that was the longest run I have ever done. It took me exactly 4 hours.

I'm going to down to 11 miles for my next long run on Sunday.
Looking forward to the big race.

thanks,
Chuck

One month to go

I haven't posted in a while. But Io have been running. Last Sunday I ran 15 miles. The Sunday before that I ran 14 for my long run. I'm shooting for 17 miles tomorrow. I have exactly a month left before the marathon. I'm looking forward to it.
