Workout Notes

Today was an excellent day in terms of workouts. My diet left a little to be desired; however, I didn't have as mush chest pain GERD like symptoms today as I did yesterday. I hit the gym around 10:30 or 11:00 this morning for an intense chest and core workout. Bench, Incline Bench, Chin-ups, Pulldowns, Knee Raises and Wood-chops. It was really intense and by the end I was spent. 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps per exercise with supersets for the last four.

This evening My wife and I went out for our Tuesday run which consisted of a little over two miles in 22:48 with no stops. I was really proud of myself for not stopping and keeping up. Although, my wife was feeling a little under the weather usually she woops my ass on running and here lately she has been roasting my shit on the road by too. But not today I stayed close but it was tough.

We ran several distance races together in 2003 and 2004. Several 5K's a few half-marathons and my wife ran a full marathon. I'm disappointed at how far I allowed myself to fall but believe it or not today's 2 miles meant more to me today than any of the past 100's or evening 1000's of miles we ran in the past. Now I can't turn back. Once you can run two miles it's only a matter of time and effort to increase mileage and get in better and better shape. I can no longer walk a little then run a little.

I building stamina losing weight and gaining confidence.
