Saturday, February 4, 2006Postponing the desert run until tomorrowMy wife had to leave early today so I am home with my son. I'm a little disappointed but me legs aren't. They are still sore. My son and I are going to go for a walk today on the route that we have been running the last couple of days. Take it a little easier. We'll still be going up some hills but...

I ran the whole time that I was going uphill but that took everything I had. I alternated walking and running coming back and we stopped at the halfway point again. The weather was nice...

It was raining today so we didn't run as far as I was planning on running today. I'm trying to up my cardio so that I can down my weight. I didn't know how much rain my son would put up with...

Yesterday, I dressed him for the weather. A warm hat, mittons, snow boots, his good coat and then I put a light blanket on him just to help as a windbreaker. He must have been feeling...

I have also gone back to walking with my son. Yesterday we didn't go very far because it was cold and his best winter coat had been left in the van which my...

My son came down with the stomach flu and the following day, so did my wife and I. Any time that I wasn't working, I was in bed. All three of us are over the flu but have all caught a cold. What's...

I think that is the root of what's going on. Yesterday, I was awake for 31 hours. I don't normally go that long without sleep but I routinely make it through the day on 2 hours of sleep. And I do...

They are all fitness and are all connected so I think it still fits within this blog. I have been feeling so burned out lately. It's probably because of my the shifts for my job. I work three swing shifts and two grave shifts.... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, October 11, 2005Short update because I'm tiredI weighed in on Sunday and have lost 2 pounds. If I can keep that up, it would be great. I could be down to 185 in 5 more weeks. From there, I'll see what I want to do. My wife lost 2 pounds too. That's a pretty good start for both of us. I don't know if I mentioned that I did take some before...

I'm here to help. If you have to request a table because you're stomach will no longer allow you to slide easily into a booth (hell let's be honest here, you can't even squish yourself...
