Day Eight, 357 To Go

January 8, 2013

The start of week two was a successful run.  Only 51 weeks left...or 357 days...not sure which sounds worse.  I'm writing this just before I go out for my run on day nine...I'm a little bit behind, as you can tell.

Honestly, it is amazing I have lasted this long...not with the running...but with the blog.  At this point, however, I see them as linked together.  I can't run without doing this blog, and I certainly can't blog without doing the run.  So, I need to get moving!

I'll blame my late start on Honey.  She wanted to have some alone time with me once the kiddies had gone to bed, so I did not deny her.  I told her I would write later...and then I found myself asleep and no blog written.  You know how it goes.

Ok...to the running...

Honey went against doctor's orders today and ran anyway.  Screw doctors.  What do they know?  They only go to school for like 30 years to be a doctor.  I'm proud of her resistance.  I'd ignore them too.  She is turning into a true runner...she is running through pain and against doctor's orders.  Just don't tell her I said so.

Take a look at our numbers:
Time: 15:00
Distance: 1.15 miles
Pace: 13:00/m
Max Pace: 10:27/m
Calories: 112
Avg HR: 91
Max HR: 112

I really need to get my heart rate up, or I won't be doing much good for diet.  Well, let's not call it a "diet" in the sense that I am fat and trying to lose lots of pounds.  I'm just trying to get back down to what I like my race weight to be.  I am about 165 right now and I would love to race at around 155.  That might be a bit too low a number, so I'll settle for 160, but 155 is six pack territory...and Honey likes that sort of thing!

So, ordering pizza last night was probably not a good idea...the mozzarella sticks were definitely not a good idea...and the garlic knots were bordering on complete and utter stupidity.  Uh, but YUM!

I think I have some leftover...perhaps a pre-run slice of pizza would be a good idea...ok, maybe not. I'll settle for the stupid f*cking apple. 

One of these years my New Year's Resolution is going to be to eat as much as I want, drink more, smoke, sit on my ass and watch TV, and get as fat/lazy/unhealthy as I can get.

Until then, though...

Run for life!!
