Week 5 Update

Been a while since I posted, work has been extra crazy. And it's supposed to be the 'slow' time of year. Meh.

I have not been a good boy the last few weeks, been eating out a lot with customers and corporate, and having a few drinks (empty calories). But I'm back now, and making a renewed effort.

Weighed in last night at 262, so I didn't gain much back, so that's good. And I fixed the treadmill and started running again. Man my bulk makes running less than enjoyable. I did 0.75 miles last night, about 1/2 I ran at a good clip. Going to work up to a fill mile (walk/run) this week and set that as my baseline time. Going to work to get that time down each week.



As well as weight loss, I have fitness goals as well. I would like to be under a 12-minute mile this year. I know that's not very aggressive, but I doubt I can do a 20 or even 25 minute mile right now without passing out or hurting myself. I ran a sub-6 minute mile in HS trying out for baseball (yes only once, and only by 8s, but still), and while I don't plan on being a marathon running, I would like to get back to the 8-minute single and the two-mile time of 20 minutes by the end of 2011.

I also want to be able to do 100 push-ups in three sets in one sitting. I have decided to table this goal for a bit until my fitness is a little better.

Lastly, I want to be able to do 100 crunches (right-center-left) in three sets in one sitting. I am going to work in crunches 2-3 times per while when I take days-off from running.
