Post vacation

Well I have managed to ruin nearly everything i've done up to this point. I didnt make any effort during my time on vacation.

I am feeling really down about this lack of determination. I feel like im going to have to start all over.

I haven't run since June 10th and its now the 25th. Ive missed 15 days. and at minimum 7 running opportunities.

Day 13

Day 13
up 5 lbs

Not sure where the weight gain came from guess Its from not dieting.

Anyway. I increased my pace considerably last night. dropped nearly 10 minutes off my time.

Small blogging change

I think Im going to quit poisting on days off. There really is no point in blogging that I didnt run. I may even go back and remove posts that have no significant purpose .

Day 9

Day 9, No run

Well I dint run tonight. I intended to run at 9pm like normal but we had 2 softball games and I ate supper late which pushed my run back to about 10 pm. Unfortunately I had to patch servers for work last night at about 10 pm so I thought I would run when I got done but server patching took longer then expected, and I wasn't about to go run at 12:45 pm.

I'm really disappointed too. I'm starting to feel like I'm missing it. I'm actually enjoying these runs.

Now I'm going to have to run 2 nights in a row again to synchronize my schedule. Muscle pain is nearly gone.

Day 7

Day 7, Run
278 lbs.

The run is getting easier. We are getting all the way around the track without to much trouble now.
I'm still having pretty intense cramping in my lower calf; however I did figure out how to stretch it. The past several attempts to stretch the muscle have not seemed like they were beneficial.

I think a 2-3 more time and Ill be able to run nearly the whole course without walking. I'm really pretty amazed that I'm progressing so quickly.

Day 6

Day 6, No run
278 lbs.

Weight is holding steady. Im not running today to avoid stressing those muscles to much. Monday night I will continue the planned run.

Day 5

Day 5, Run/Powerwalk mix
278 lbs

Well the Run was about a 1/3 of a mile of running, the rest power walking. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't do more running, but my calves were still sore despite the intense stretching I did before running.

Well I wasn't going to let another day go by.

Day 4

Day 4, No run
278 lbs

Well I'm not off to a good start yet. I was still having pretty sore calves yet this evening. Ive tried to rub out the soreness and stretch them out to no avail. It seems like it just won't go away.

Regardless of this I'm going to run tomorrow I might even do a power walk in the afternoon and then a run this evening. I think what I may have done is run 2 nights in a row. Well I have learned my lesson. I guess I was just too excited.

Ill report tomorrow with my success!
