A Journey of Miles & Pounds

This morning was my second morning going to the gym before work. yesterday I did a .3 mile warmup on the elliptical and then a 2 mile hills run on the treadmill. This morning I did the 2 mile hills run again and then used weights for 15 minutes or so.

I also signed up for a weights class starting next Tuesday. It will be 8 - 1 hour sessions, 2 times a week. The course “teaches proper form and fundamentals while providing an excellent workout.” I am really psyched about it and will also start incorporating swimming for my cross training on the same nights as the weights class. It seems like it would be the perfect cool down from the weights.

Zion Ultra - 100 Mile race in the beautiful desert terrain of Utah. A friend competed this year and beat his personal record for a sub 24 time with 23:30. Amazing.

For a laugh I will also share that my friend lost a bet to another runner and the consequences are him having to go vegan for a month. Maybe he should have asked the runner about his race history and PR’s? The guy ended up coming in 2nd place with an under 18 hour time! Never pick a fight with someone that has an actual chance of winning an ultra marathon.

Tax season is over & I took a 3 day weekend to eat all the foods. Getting back on track and will be posting about my own running again soon. Not that any of you care, but you know, I care.

Let’s start with some full disclosure. Low weight prior to tax season was 182, as of Sunday I was at 189. So, not too bad for a full tax season of treating my body awful and only running twice. That’s where I am working from so let’s get healthy!
