Rock Bottom Again!

Well it's official, I have lost all the endurance I built up while I was in Afghanistan. We are starting at rock bottom once again for my cardio endurance and weight. I am trading in the street running for the treadmill running until I can get a good base under my belt once again. It will be easier to get some weight off and not kill my legs in the process. After a couple of weeks of treadmill running, I will incorporate one long day of street running along with one day of speed work on the treadmill and we will go up to that point. I need to figure this out. Today I got in 4.88 miles and burned 655 calories. This was an eye opening experience for me today because I couldn't run the hills today so most of my cardio was walking. That sucks but it is my own fault and I have no one to blame but myself. I am the only one who can change me and I am doing a piss poor job so far this year. Time for a new way of thinking and time to make things more simplistic and not think about it so much. I just need to commit myself to being healthier and getting to where I want to be. It's time to get to work!! Until next time.

Don't beat yourself up to bad. You know what to do, now get out there and do it. Keep writing because it helps me. Now that the weather is starting to be nice, I think my attitude will change along with it. NO EXCUSES, JUST DO IT. love ya dad
