Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

I have lost 90 pounds. This more than any thing else is my greatest accomplishment. After my collegiate running career I sadly stopped running and kept eating all the way to 265 pounds. After a lot of soul-searching and even more running I am now 175, the same weight I was in college. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep running. I simply run for greater health. I enjoy the struggle for self improvement. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to amass enough race t-shirts to make blankets for every bed in the house, as well as finally run a marathon. (Oct 15th SoJo Marathon)

Today I found out that I am too old for the Warrant Officership that I have been working on over the last year. I considered not doing a workout today, but I’m glad I did. I ended up taking out a lot of my frustration in the workout. I’m sure anyone that looked at me at the gym thought I was just a bit too intense, but that all OK with me. Tomorrow will be a new day with new choices to make.

Today I “ran” for 30 min. I put it in quotes because It was not running in a traditional sense. I keep about 9 min pace with a very quick turnover and raised my knees to about waist high, and brought my heals to my but every stride. I took a lot of steps, but had a very short stride. This was extremely tiring. I probably looked ridiculous doing it, but its an over exaggeration of the changes that I’m trying to make in my form.

I caught up on my blogging for the last week. I realized that I haven’t been keeping up because I don’t find these workouts inspiring. I don’t like doing them. I know that is will help me be a better runner, but that doesn't change the fact that I would just rather be running!
