My wife is showing me up.. But I am ok with that.
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
I keep pretending like I am going to do more, but it just doesn’t happen.
My routine is broken and I don’t know how to fix it.
I am beginning to wonder if I should give up on some things so I can free up some space in my life.
I set out to get into shape, and [...] -
Walking is therapeutic.

I took a nice mile long walk yesterday. It helps me think. Now If only I could think directly on to this page, there might be more posts and less 3 month blank spots.

I knew I would fail.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep it up. Exercise is just too time consuming, and too low on the list of priorities.
What next? maybe I need to go for a run….
I walked yesterday about a mile.

down with the sickness

Tonight was the disgraced walk of shame back to the treadmill. It was standing there looking at me with a scowl, as if to say “I told you so: I knew you couldn’t hack it.”
But persistence is what it takes to overcome, and a two week absence is a tough thing to explain. But with [...] -

Today was really hard to get out of bed and run. The temp outside was 30 degrees.

I got a lot of stuff done this weekend at my in-laws but I also ate a ton, and sat on the couch the whole time. This morning run [...] -

For some strange reason, after working 12 hours on Saturday I went to bed thinking “oh I have one more day to exercise before I miss my weekly goal”
My wife reminded me on Sunday that Sunday is the 1st day of the week. That painful fact led me to realize I had missed my goal [...] -

Mia and I worked out side by side tonight. After first putting the “big girl’ bed in Maura’s room and moving the newly acquired treadmill and elliptical machine into the spare room; Mia and I got our exercise.
The treadmill makes running in the rain totally out of the “must do to survive this challenge” and [...] -
Just in the nick of time.

Saturday night, 8 o’clock is about as late as I want to go for a last minute run.
So much for getting more than two runs in this week. The good news is that between the two runs I put in almost three laps worth of a run.
and as I hoped, stepped it up one more [...]
