A Few Seconds Faster
Today's Run: 3.0
Run Time: 27:28 (9:10 minutes per mile)
Total Miles to Date: 603.2
Thoughts on the Run:
Closing out my third week true to the program. I was tired again this morning so I grabbed some extra sleep and ran in the evening instead. It was a treadmill run and I'm glad because then I could at least run in the 97 degree basement instead of the 101 degree outdoors. I also shaved just a few seconds from the run time ... enough to get from a 9:11 minute mile to a 9:10 minute mile. Hey, it's progress and I'll take it!
Not much else to report on. A busy schedule as always but very excited for my daughter and how her little venture is taking off.
I found this fellow blogger to have a very inspirational entry about the mental aspects of weight loss. Great work!
As much as I'm NOT a fan of low carb, the picture in this blog entry leaves little doubt that it can be an effective technique ... in fact, that entry is written by friend Jimmy Moore who has a very popular book about low carbs called Livin' La Vida Low Carb. I always like to share other views ... it's a great read so check it out when you have a moment.
It would probably be pointless to try to follow it, but AskMen.com was kind enough to post one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding routines. At least they had the sense to mention "one size doesn't fit all" but they failed to mention much of his career he was partaking in a certain set of special chemicals that would make it far easier for him to, ah, recover from said routines than the average person.
That's it for now. Until next time,
