Some kinda record
It's been how long since my last blog post? I guess it's about time I got back to it. Not that anybody really cares one way or the other.
Oh, I started a running program. A while back, I started being really conscious about my food intake. Not that I don't eat the same food any more. I just don't eat quite as much. Well, I ended up losing about 15 lbs. between August and now. Actually, I lost it between August and about 1 month ago and I've leveled off. I could stand to lose about 20 more, so I figured I'd work in some physical exertion and drop the rest.
I hate running. Oh, I did plenty of it in high school when I was on the cross-country team. I just thought the long distance was tedious. Now it's 20-some years later and I'm coming back to it. I found a good program designed to ease people like me back into it and I think it's working. I actually look forward to doing it and I feel guilty if I miss. I'd like to run a couple of 5k's this coming year and maybe move up to 10k in the future. We'll see. For the immediate future, I just want the cardio-vascular endurance to ride a couple days of RAGBRAI in July. I did a single day last summer (70 miles) and it almost did me in. We'll see how it goes.
