So I took my first outdoor run today and it was fantastic, and fast. Its was a comedy of errors getting to it. I ran a few errands and planned to hit the canal trail for a 1 mile run. I arrived , managed to disassemble my car key chain, so I could run with just a single key, put on all my gear, and started my nike+ipod. I jumped on the trail to find it completely unplowed. I figured what the hell and tried to run through it. I made it 100 yards and realized it would not work. Back to the car I went. I got home and took to the local streets. It always feels so much better running outside. I am also much faster outside. I actually logged another personal best mile. I got home eager to upload my results to find I have yet another iPod fail. It is stuck in a locked state. Hopefully Apple will fix it since I just had it replaced a few months ago.
Oh yeah, new cozy slippers came in the mail today too!

Running
So I decided last year I would take up running. It was a necessary part of Triathlon training, but I never really trained, I just ran and walked, and that was all. I ran most of the 5K in the Tri, and then this December, I also did a stand alone 5K, which I did in about 34″ which was not bad. I walked a little, but now I am targeting a different beast, a sprint Duothon. Run 2 Miles, Ride 10 Miles and Run another 2 Miles. I intended to Run all of it. Following training guidelines, I am fully running 1 mile a day this week. Next week I will increase by 10% and continue for the upcoming weeks till I can do the 5K and the Dualthon at a full run. I am also doing , about 4 miles on the bike after my runs, so as to keep the training going in the right direction.

Tuxedo shopping
So today I came to the realisation that I have fallen off the wagon. On a good note, I have not gained any weight, but I have not lost any. I am going to re-invigorate this week I am setting a 3 lb goal for this week. I need to get going. 3 months and 2 weeks left. At a minimum I have 10 lbs to lose before the wedding, realistically I have 30 lbs to go till I am at my own “ideal” weight.
Today I had a great day with Chris. We went shopping for the grooms mans tux’s. I cannot believe we have almost finished the major wedding planning. The only thing left is arranging the limo / shuttle and to finalise the hotel for out of town guests. Its all coming together, and I am starting to get excited. 🙂

Sore Shoulders
So I downloaded a new tracking sheet for P90x Lean program and updated all of my workouts. I realized that I basically had taken a number of days out doing other exercises. In fact I ran 5K in 27 degree weather, and finished in under 35 minutes. So I decided to go back and do week 4 again, which started with what is hands down the hardest workout for me … Yoga X. It is a grueling 90 minute workout that is hell on the shoulders and core. I did that workout Sunday and here I am on Tuesday and my shoulders still hurt. I persevered yesterday and did the Core Synergistics, and tonight after I digest my dinner a bit I will go down and do Kenpo X. Alas , I just realized that I have to do the Yoga X AGAIN this week. 🙁
Tomorrow, will be a busy day…Driving to MA…. Starting a new job…..and seeing Tron.
