Mon/Tue/Thurs

1 mile, 1.1 mile, 1.33 miles.

Ain't makin' a thousand this way, but also my whole body hurts.

Back in the saddle again

4.1 miles today in the morning, right after they opened up the YMCA.  Good to be back in the swing of things.

Summarized catch-up post

Have been 1.25, 1.00, and 1.01 miles since posting last.  Whew, life is complicated and terrible.  Count me out for those days as "eaten by zombies, apologetically."

PS not giving up on this!

Skip day: sick as a dog

Bleah, sick as a dog with massive headache and dragginess all day long.

Have a big job assignment tomorrow to do, so I'm planning ahead to get to the gym early.

Monday: Zombie hordes outrun again

Made it to the YMCA a little more than an hour before they shut down.  Still managed to go over 3 miles at a decent clip.  After a shower, I'm feeling pretty good.

Also, per my sister Amy, Combos are not food, so I need to stop eating those.

Weekend - awesome day, decent day (reflections on the zombie apocalypse)

Great stuff.  Got on the treadmill and went a ways, stopped for a short water/pee break, then got back on.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I got more than 5 miles away from the zombie hordes.

Went to a different YMCA today, so the rules for child care were a little stricter.  Also first day of my feet hurting some.  Unsurprised due to Saturday's zombiegeddon blowout.

Well, not every day's going to be awesome.  Played poker on the internet instead.

Late Tuesday

Just made it to the Y about 40 minutes before they closed.  I read some Time and Business Week on the treadmill, then stared into space and thought about the disassociation between body and mind in modernity, which probably deserves a full post sometime in the future.

I felt good and probably could have gone longer, were they not closing down.  I high-tailed it out before the really aggressive closing announcements could start.

Other than that, I am sleeping terribly and my arms are sore.  I did do a bunch of Daria-carrying, so that may be it.

Is this day 2 or day 4?

It was a tough weekend where I was massively busy (I threw a birthday party for my middle daughter and went board gaming on Saturday, and went to IKEA on Sunday).

Today I hit the treadmill right after dropping off the kids at school.  I managed to go a little over 50 minutes, and I felt pretty good about the whole experience.

I weighed myself afterward: 206 lbs.  Damn and blast, but also totally expected after a week where I gorged up till my birthday.  Other disconcerting note: my front bounces when I am power-walking.  Two ways, even: man-boobs up and down, protruding nerdbelly side to side.

I also converted my YMCA membership to a city-wide one, which opens up Sundays as an option at YMCA locations with Sunday child-care.

First post: whose fat is this, anyway?

On October 13th, 2010, I turned 36.  Today I got up and went to my YMCA and walked 1.03 miles on the treadmill.  I neglected to weigh myself, but four days ago, I weighed in at 202.  I ate/gorged at Subway twice in the interim.

How did today's session make me feel: Horrible.  I like to read on the treadmill, and I forgot to look at my book stack.  The YMCA has a lending shelf and nothing looked good.  I ended up skimming a murder mystery.  The bitter half-black crazy Greek guy stabbed his half-sister antiquarian with the dagger, in the museum.  It sucked, and I hated it.  


Why I went today: In a thousand miles, I will feel better.


Why I stopped: time constraints.


Could I have gone farther if time permitted: Yes.

I have a couple of Covert Bailey titles on my bookshelf.  Good, inspirational, mostly decent advice.
