training

Well happy memorial day to all and I just wanted to say that today was a great day for me. Even though i wasnt able to run in the ridge run 5K today I still went out on a run of my own. I was able to run for an hour straight for about 6 miles. I couldnt belive it I kinda felt like forest gump and i just started running and didnt want to stop. The working out has been going well too. I feel like all the pieces are comming together. I have even been looking into the idea of trying to run in the Chicago triathalon next year. I love my new lifestyle and even though this all started with a goal to swim accross lake geneva and we all kindda went off track a little but im thinking if i can train and finish the chicago tri then my next goal would be to do the bigfoot beach tri in lake geneva. Well to all my comrades good luck and i hope to hear from you guys and see how everone is doing.

the next phase begins

Well I am down to 195 now and I am soooo happy. I feel great and I am super proud of myself. Now that I am done with school I can begin the next phase and that is going to the gym to work on my body and overall physical ability. I have lost the weight but havent had much time to go to the gym so I get to start that and hopefully I will be able to get myself into the shape I want to be in. my first 5k is coming up and then hopefully to bigger and better things for next year.
