Running Totals for 24 Sep 09

Ok, now that my sciatic nerve has went on vacation and I don't walk around like an old man I better get my runs in while I can. I am a little bit behind the power curve so I have a lot to ground to cover so to speak. I need to buckle down and get running and lose the weight I have put on again. But now I have my head screwed back on once again and it is time to get back to work. Tonight I ran 7.05 miles, burned 1348 calories, and I ran for 73 minutes. I don't need to look back at what I haven't did in the time that I've been home, I just need to look forward and see what I can accomplish from this day forward. Until next time...

Running Totals for 11 Sep 09

Just a quick note to tell everyone Happy Patriot Day (I think that is what they are calling it) and to let everyone know I haven't given up on my blog. Since I ran on Monday I have been trying to get my legs back to normal. I swear, going from the treadmill to the street is like night and day. My legs have killed the last three days. It's like starting all over again. Anyways, I got a chance to try out my new Forerunner 405 and I think that once I figure everything out with the watch it will be perfect. I ran with last night and it worked like a charm. It was kinda neat to see and the data that it kicks out in regards to my run. I ran 5.22 miles, burned 848 calories, and I ran for 49 minutes. The hills of Okinawa are trying to kill me at the moment but I am sure as long as I keep with it and do a few sissy (treadmill) runs during the week I should be fine. I guess we will see. Anyways Happy Running. Until next time...

Weigh In Day & Running Totals for 7 Sep 09

Well I haven't run for 11 days and I could feel it tonight during my run. Plus I have eaten like garbage since I have been home especially today and that about killed me during my run tonight. Anyways it's time to get back on track now and get back to work. I am back up to 238 lbs. and it is time to get into the 220's and I think I have Heather on board this time (not like Kuwait where she was out to fatten me back up)!!! Anyways I ran 5.14 miles, burned 927 calories, and I ran for48 minutes. It was the first time that I ran the "loop" here in Oki and I am very happy about that. There is a MONSTER hill that I have been trying to run up since I arrived here and have yet to do it. So that made me happy tonight. I forgot how much the road kills your legs when you haven't ran on it for a long time. My legs will have to adjust to that. Well I am happy to be back home and running again. I love and miss you all in the good ole' USA. Until next time...

A picture from Manas

Since everyone says I don't post enough pictures here is one from Manas, Kyrgyzstan, while I am waiting to leave. This is in front of the chapel which looks like a regular building from the front but it is actually a tent with a fancy front. Go figure. Not too much longer and I will be outta here on my way back to Oki. Hooray!!
