had a nice little run this morning
sub-15 splits throughout - around 12 minutes for the first mile
and since i didn't weigh in yesterday, i did this morning - 224.6 - so i'm still less than 7 pounds from my first goal weight
not going to be easy, but i may hit it before the end of 2010 after all
a personal journey toward fitness for life
A Brief Explanation
Here's the short story. I've neglected my health for nearly a decade. I'm using this Weblog to document my efforts toward better fitness. Here's the opening post, which pretty much explains it all. I've taken as my motto the words of Dr. George Sheehan. "First, be a good animal."

Progress (Or Not)
i've actually gained a couple pounds since the last log here - inactivity because of health stuff (and snacking, because i am weak and lack character)
stress test tomorrow morning - labs on friday - if everything turns out okay, i'll get back in the swing of things
i did get a nice run in this morning - first mile was a little over 12 minutes
prolly won't make goal by next week at this point, but will keep at it until i do
slow, but sure

lost weekend
this has nothing to do with the movie of that title
weekends are the time i usually get an extra leisurely run (or two) in
unfortunately, this weekend i had a miserable sinus cold, and on top of that i started experiencing some very strange heart palpitations on saturday - they continued on through the weekend
at this point, i'm actually afraid to get out and run until i get in to see my doctor - who knows how long it will take to get an appointment
it's depressing that this is threatening to derail my efforts to lose those last 6 pounds before thanksgiving
i am going to do my best to get a long walk in today at least, and will try to observe my points limit this week as well - may not be blogging much until there's something new to report

struggling this week
election activities and a general funk in their wake have sidelined me most of the week
felt good to get out and run this morning
coffee and a banana so far - will grab some toast and tomato juice in a bit - going very light today and tomorrow
