Day 16, 17, 18, 19 – 9/25/07 – 9/29/07

OK!!! Way behind here in posting anything. I’ve been swamped with work, church, family, etc. Freaky weather this week. 92 on Wednesday and 90 on Thursday. Air quality was real bad. On top of that we’re working with a new product that kills the lungs. It’s basically human waste reenigneered into a topdressing that you put on lawns. I know, it’s disgusting but it works.

Anyway, here’s the update…

• Day 16 – Up @ 4:30AM so to have time to meet with Pastor friend.
  • Ran .8 and walked .2.
  • Total time: 10 min.
  • Very encouraged about this progress. If I can run a 10 minute mile in the next few weeks I will be stoked.
• Day 17 - Did not wake up into I had too. Took the day off (run/walk) due to the ridiculous work day/temp. conditions. Felt good to rest the legs. Worked like a mule all day in the hot sun with the humanure. LOL!!!

• Day 18 - Had no problem getting up and actually wanted to get outside. Unfortunately, my time came in at 11 minutes as I was sucking air even walking. Sadly, I’ve had a sinus cold for the last few days so this has set me back a bit.
  • Anyway, ran the .8 and walked .2.

• Day 19 – Spent the morning sleeping in (6AM). Then went out to breakfast with the guys from church and ate the Hungryman!!! Idiot!!??!!

All in all, it was a pretty productive week. Total weight loss has been 6lbs and hopefully we can crank it up this week by way of diet and pushing myself further with the walk/run. Early AM temps should be around 50 degrees so I’m looking forward to walking less and running more.
