Feeling Good...

For the time, it seems this blog will be about me eating better and getting into some semblance of shape.  I ran again this morning.  It was a good run.  It was a short run.  The running goal is multi-faceted.  I am trying to get in shape, so that's reason #1.  #2 is more of a real life acheivement.  The Detroit Marathon is in October.  No, I am not planning on running the marathon, or even the half marathon...at least, not yet.  What I do want to do is run the 5k.  I should have no problem getting to that point over the summer.  The trick will be to keep my training up once school starts.  Which leads to my #3 goal: to build a habit out of running and eating well that will work itself into my schoolwork.  I have tried this many times, however, this one feels different.  I probably said that last time, too.  But this time feels less 'forced' and has more of that 'hey, it's time' feel to it.

Week #1 Accomplishments:
Ran 4 times: 1 mile each time but each one felt better than the previous.
I had about as much pop over the course of this week as I used to have in one day.
Had fast food: 3 times

Week #2 Goals:
Continue to run the 1 mile course.  I want to be sure my body is aware that this is going to keep up.
No pop, at all.
No fast food.
Drink 2 liters of water a day.

Long Term Goals:
End of June: Running 2 miles
End of July: Running 3 miles
End of August: Running 4 miles
September-Dec: Maintain and add weightlifting and core work. I get my gym membership back in late August

Ok...breakfast and shower!

Hi-Keeba!
