Walking

So over the last three weeks, Cheryl and I have been workout warriors. I am now up to running about 3 miles a day at about 4.9-5.0mph. So, I take about 35-45 minutes depending on my speed and the number of interruptions. This may not seem like much, but considering that I was essentially starting from nothing. I feel pretty good about it.

I think this success makes my half-marathon in May a lot more realistic.

Check out the w8loss competition blog [w8losscompetition.wordpress.com]. It's awesome. Chapman v. Lichtenberg 2011.

Cheryl and I have started the new year off with a workout bang. Cheryl has already done 3 hours of walking in two plus days and I have run, well not very far...but I did actually run.

In setting up the w8loss competition, I was trying to find a motivation that would actually get me to work out, and frankly, I could not come up with anything compelling enough. Any ideas? I think public humiliation is probably most effective, but honestly, I can't even come up with a reason that someone might publicly humiliate me.

I wore a sweater vest today to work. It was too keep me warm and instead it just made me look like a dork.
