Steaming seven

It is HOT out side. I planned to get up early and run before it got too bad but I slept instead. Well, the old body did need some rest as I hit the gym pretty hard this week and my muscles are sore. I gout out about 9 am when the temps were around 75. It was HOT and HUMID. I ran shirtless. Frankly I don’t care anymore if people are offended by the flab. It’s life and I’m working on it. Seven miles of sweat later I’m glad I got my lazy butt out the door.

I am down almost 16 pounds since the beginning of May. I should be further along but life gets in the way. At least I’m moving in the right direction.

An easy 5?

I am really looking forward to the 4th of July 10K race tomorrow at MSUM. I thought I would get out for a nice easy 5 miles today. But as you can see, the oppressive heat and humidity has reared it’s ugly head. I did get 5.4 miles done but it was a very very sweaty 5. My pace slowed throughout but I finished with a 9:44 average.

I snapped a photo when I got back. I ran shirtless today. I am happy that I finally feel comfortable enough to run without a shirt. I know I ain’t pretty, but I’m working on my body. The slobs passing me in their pickups, chewing on their big macs, yapping on their cell phones and laughing at ME can just go to hell. I don’t care any more. If you don’t like what you see, don’t look.
