Whoops...sorry

I totally forgot to post yesterday. Sorry everyone.

Weigh in was uneventful...217 (apparently I'm stuck)
Running went great, though I didn't get the 6 days in I was hoping. But I did find by day 3 that I was really enjoying it and it was easier than when I started. I even shaved 30 seconds off of my 2.5 mile jog. I am holding about a 10 minute mile, which isn't lightning but functional.

This week the program actually has me stepping back a little bit.

Week 6:
Warm Up! Then jog 2* miles 4 to 6 days. (*Yes, cut back, let your body consolidate it's gains).

Yesterday my wife and I went to the track (i've been running on the street lately) and for the first 3 laps I was hurting and wondered what happened, but right about lap 4 I hit this burst of energy and finished the 2 miles strong. I felt great afterwards with energy to spare.

It is so crazy to see how my body is adjusting to running. I was pretty beat week 1 when I had to jog 1/8 of a mile...now I am jogging 2 miles with energy to spare. Awesome.

I know the weight loss will come and I am not discouraged that I'm stuck at 217. It is more funny now. But starting next week, I really start upping the running. Technically by next week I can run a 5k, so we are almost half way there.

Have a great week my friends.

ps. have you seen the 4D ultrasound pictures of our daughter Grace? You can see a lot of them on my facebook or you can go to my wife's blog at http://sarahrichter.wordpress.com/

    creepy and cool at the same time. Are you running with proper shoes? I'm a big fan of getting my shoes fitted at a running store. I didn't know I had been buying shoes that were too small!

    I have a pair of shoes that work. My wife and I plan on getting new shoes eventually. I have a friend who recommended a place in San Jose that actually videotapes your feet running so you can watch it in slow motion and see how they are landing. Then we'll know what shoes will work best.

    Just waiting for some benjamins.

    Thanks for recommendation Alyssa

    I have hit a wall too! no wait loss for a month or so now. But I realized that I havent been super careful with my food cause I feel like, "hey I'm running like 5 miles three times a week. That should be enough" but apparently not. Keep up the good work! P.S. pray I dont give up... I am finding it really hard to find time to train since the running is getting longer! Ahh I dont want to quit or loose momentum!
