Headed to Gwangju

WOD: (AM) Run / (PM) Run

I think my Nike+ sensor is going out.  My first run went fine but my second run kept loosing my pace and cutting out.  I know I did a lot more than 2.49 miles.  Oh well, as long as I'm putting in the time.  I will have to pick up a couple more sensors that way I don't have to keep switching the one I have between my two pairs of Nike's.  Anyways, we are down here in KJ for the night which is good because Daegu is a mess right now with the exercise going on and all the people thinking we are an operational base.  Lots of stupid questions being thrown our way right now.  Not too much longer.  I'm ready to come home now.  Until next time...

Workout of the Day (WOD):  (AM) Run / (PM) Run

Starting next week (1 APR), I'm 6 months out from my PT test.  That means time to put on the PT cap and get serious about my fitness.  I was contemplating trying to run LV marathon this year.  I think I'll push that until next November.  I NEED to build some healthy habits and prove to myself I can be consistent with my weight loss.  And by that I mean getting in the 220's or lower and staying there FOR GOOD.  I need to do that before I even consider running 26.2 miles.  This is my "lifestyle change" plan.  I don't want to call it a goal because goals can be accomplished and then discarded.  I need this to be consistent and continue through out the rest of my life.

With that said, I will start to plan out my weeks now.  I hope that this will help keep me on target through out the week.  Also from here on out I WILL NOT keep crap food in my apartment.  ONLY HEALTHY CHOICES!  If it's not here I can't eat it.  Sounds easy but it's not.  To help me with my Push Ups & Sit Ups, starting April 1st, everyday I will be doing what I call BUILD UPS.  I will take the day of the week and times it by 2 (1 APRx2= 2 Push Ups & 2 Sit Ups, and so forth building up to 30 or 31 days of the month which will equal 60 or 62 each).  That should help.  To give me a goal, since I'm not running LV this year.  I want to run a sub 10 mile and a half for my PT test.  I ran a 10:24 this last time.  Time to work on speed.  Word of the Day:  COMMITMENT!!!

Since I spent the night in Suwon I didn't have a scale BUT I'm sure it wasn't pretty because of our little trip to Outback Steakhouse.  I am getting a little trend going which I'm glad I switched to running twice a day.  It really gives my legs a break in between runs and I feel more refreshed.  I think next week I want to add in some weights which was the main reason I switched to two 30 minute sessions.  We will see how it goes.  Until next time...

Hanging out in Suwon for the night.  These trips will become super scarce from here on out.  Thank you Sequestration!!!  We didn't need money to function anyways.  Glad we support and defend our government & it's too bad we don't get that same support and defense.  So sad!

I haven't ran for the past couple of days.  I could make excuses as to why I didn't run BUT the simple fact is I DIDN'T RUN.  It's that easy.  Today's run was super tough.  I don't know why (could be the Anthrax shot from yesterday, another excuse) but I'm sore and it took everything in me to get out there today.  Simple triumph for the day, is I GOT OUT THERE.  Until next time...

Another beautiful day here in Daegu.  This weather trend it supposed to continue (as of right now) into the weekend.  It's supposed to warm up each day until Sunday I believe.  It should be a good running week for me.  Or should I say I don't have any excuses not to get out and pound the pavement.  Not too much going on right now.  I'm taking this opportunity to study for my next stripe.  My test date is the 29th of March.  I at least have to put in some kind of effort cause you never know what will happen.  Until next time...

Another week is here and it's supposed to be an amazing weather week.  Today was a little chilly but it was still a high of 54° and windy BUT I'll take it.  It beats running inside in that stuffy cardio room.  Believe it or not, this weekend is supposed to be in the mid-70's.  I mean that's just a forecast but if it holds true someone might have a sunburn from a long run on Saturday.  I guess we'll see what happens.  Under 100 days left as of Saturday.  I will adjust my actual date when I get a fly day but it shouldn't be any later than 10 June so that puts me at 98 days left.  My goal is to be in the 230's by the time I come home.  Totally achievable!  JUST RUN!!!

My weight is going the wrong way at the moment.  Only I can get it headed in the right direction.  I just need to find the motivation once again.  That's been hard since returning to Korea.  I can't do anything about that.  I just need to get my head on straight and focus on November and my HOPEFULLY first marathon.  I need to be in the 230's to run that race, if not lighter.  I got off my butt and went for a run today.  I should of went yesterday BUT that's in the past and I can't do anything about that.  I will make up for it tomorrow, Sunday, since that's supposed to be my rest day.  It was pretty chilly today for my run.  The temperature dropped once again.  It was around 41° for my run this evening.  I'm sure it would have been a little warmer if I went earlier.  I will have to keep that in mind for tomorrow.

GET BACK ON TRACK!!!
