...progress...
...my room is soooo nice and comfy...
...well, the 5k has come and gone...i'm signing up for more, so soon these won't be as big a deal. i think what's really holding me back right now in my running is my weight. am i fat? no...do i need to lose some weight? yes...it's just one of those things. my endurance is building nicely, but the speed and stride i'd like to attain could largely be attributed to how heavy i am.
don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about my progress at all! i was talking to renee the other day about this. i have this health tracker thing through my health insurance (i won't get into the details) but everytime i exercise i log it into this system. i was looking up what i've done since i started running and it really put things into perspective. i started running in March, so timewise i've been at it for about 2 and a half months...but in that time, i've only run 26 times...which doesn't really seem like a lot...but in those 26 runs, i've gone from only being able to barely make it half a mile, to and incredible 5 miles the other night.
progression. while it's not progress in the exact area i'd like it to be. if i can concentrate on some serious weight loss (much as i don't want to, i'm gonna have to seriously work on my diet) i think i'll be in a much better place. today, i also start my actual workout regime as well.
aside from running things aren't too bad. i did flub up on my finances this pay period (i thought i had an extra $100 that i actually don't) so that sucks. but payday is only five days away, so it'll be rough but i'll make it. i'm going to chicago for a couple days near the end of june. i'm very excited about this. haven't been to chicago in probably 20 years...
i'm seriously considering the notion of having a huge yard sale in early July...like a 3-day thing. a real one. i'm talking about advertising it and everything...i need to clear out a bunch of crap in my basement and a lot of junk that has just been piling up in this place over the last 10 years...that and i might be moving at the end of this lease, so cleaning things up would be a good idea. and who knows, maybe i'll make some money out of it.
i think that's about it for now...more soon...
