PT Count Down: 180 Days

WOD: (AM) Run, Build Ups / (PM) Run

Well the soreness continues and I continue to power through smartly.  Not overdoing it so I hurt myself or wear myself out.  I'm on pace as of now to hit a 40 mile week.  I haven't did that for a while now.  We'll see how the last three days go.  I decided besides my "rest" day Sunday, I needed a mid week "rest" day of sorts.  So on Wednesday's I will just run.  No weights or CrossFit.  We will see how that goes.  The gym is almost moved over to the temporary building and it will be good to have it open again.  The exercise ends this weekend and everyone will go home and I'll have it all to myself again.  Hooray!!!  (64 DAYS TO GO!!!)

PT Count Down: 181 Days

WOD: (AM) Run, Build Ups / (PM) Run

Well it's Tuesday which means only running today.  That is good since after my light session of CrossFit my quads are killing me today.  That is unbelieveable since I only did 45 squats and ran a little under 3 extra miles yesterday.  Anyways, I'm paying for it today but it will pass and I will get stronger and more fit.  It will just take a little time.  (65 DAYS TO GO!!!)

6 Months Out

WOD: (AM) Run, Build Ups / (PM) Run, CrossFit

Well here we are again.  Except I am 6 months out from my next PT test and I need another 90.  So today begins that loooooong journey to that goal.  Short term goal is to be below 250 lbs. by the time I come home in June.  That gives me around 66 days to get that goal accomplished.  If I stay focused AND focus on what I'm shoveling into my mouth that should be an easy goal to hit.  I got my first taste of CrossFit today and I'm going to ease into it slowly.  I hope I can fall in love with it because it looks awesome and very challenging.  (66 DAYS TO GO!!!)

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...

Ok, It's 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!!!

No Weigh In

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!
