Excuses..

The April Showers brought May Flowers.. which bothered by allergies.. so I couldn't run. (Wait.. I don't have allergies!!!) Then, June Gloom set in.. so I couldn't run. Truth be told.. work projects got crazy, and I just felt burnt out.

Stepped on the scale today with much fear... 236.6
NOT BAD! Ok.. I'll take that.

Went for an "easy" 4-mile lunch run-walk in the hot sun... gasping, walking, crawling.
VERY BAD! Walked the last whole mile (slowly). Looks like back to square one.

Only 67 more days until the Disneyland Half-Marathon!!

Now, I'm just going out with the goal to just finish my first half-marathon strong (without getting picked up by the Minnie Mouse golf cart for going too slow). I'll probably run/walk the whole thing, and then focus on the Long Beach Half-Marathon in mid-October

On another positive.. I got my new Concept2 Rower. Looks sweet!!
Setting it up in the garage for cross-training. Will post pics and progress on that hopefully tonight!

  1. It's so good to see you posting again, Doc! Welcome back!

    Your plan sounds reasonable and totally doable.

    Congratulations on getting the rower! I can't wait to hear all about it.

  2. Nice Doc! Was just thinking about you the other day.

    Kudos on the rower. I've been using mine once a week for cross training. Let me know if you need any rowing resources!
