I’ve got the doldrums, but I’m shaking them off. One of the things it’s too easy to do when it comes to my morning workouts is to roll the other way and hit the snooze button until it’s too late to actually work out. Having some peer pressure is helping me do that, as well as some upcoming goals.
I’m not perfect, though. I spent the four days starting on American Thanksgiving and ending on Sunday by oversleeping, not getting up before 7 any of those days, and staying up as late as 2 am working on a computer. The word discipline didn’t apply.
Still, having some goals in sight–three organized runs before the end of February–is helping me to get a little focused.
Now, where are my running shoes….

My training has been sporadic at best. Some things have been great–running in the morning has really helped me get in workouts that I had otherwise been missing, and I get to do it with a friend too. Others, like this lingering cough that wakes me up some nights, have been less than great. That […]

A few years ago, one of the ministers who served at Kane’ohe Higashi Hongwanji said during the week of American Thanksgiving that really, every day was for giving thanks. So that said, this week I give thanks: to my family; to my health and that of those around me; to my readers and followers; to […]

I’m still coughing. This cold has lingered a long longer than I hoped it would. In fact, I spent almost the entire time I was off from work from Thanksgiving through the Sunday after recovering from my cold and sleeping way longer hours than usual–in fact, I had already been sleeping earlier, sometimes before 8 […]

Not taking a break from exercising or diet but am taking one from blogging, so expect posts to be sporadic until next week. Hope you all have a great day!

I still hate running, but I’m doing it anyway. The peer pressure of having someone to meet up with has definitely worked, I’m doing a couple of relatively hard runs during the work week in the morning and showering at work (one of the side benefits–I love showering). I have entries for a 5K, an […]

My body weight has come back to the high 180s, much more acceptable than the low 190s I was just a couple of weeks ago. The big issue was that I was overeating, and not eating the foods that I was making myself. I was getting way too used to eating out and not as […]

I’m regaining lost ground. My weight which had gone over 190 is now back in the high 180s and I’m hoping back to my baseline 185 soon. Part of that is hard work–getting those 7:15 am runs in last week, as well as making sure I continued on the bike. Part of that was also […]

It’s the end of the season, so that means it’s time for me to take stock of what’s going on with my fitness equipment and figure out what to do. As usual I’ve gone through a small box of tubes–ten in all, so I’ll be ordering some of those. My front headlamp also is dead […]

I slipped again. After a pretty nice week in terms of working out and diet, I encountered illness and stayed up way too late on Saturday night. In the process, I went out for a bite to eat and the only places open anywhere close to me were Jack in the Box and Denny‘s. And […]
