Sadat - Days Off Are Killing Me!

So, i have been traveling alot for work recently, and it has been getting in the way of me shaping up in the Fall. I was in Baltimore one weekend, running a Flag Football tournament in UCLA the next, and running a Soccer Championship last week in No. Pho. All of this leads to a few things, very little chances to work out, and free food, free not good for you food.

The workouts i have missed during this time have taken its toll. i am not as fast or able to endure as much as i was three weeks ago when i felt like i was really getting into it. I also dont feel like the work outs that i have been able to participate in while i was here were at a 100 percent or to my full potential just because i was so stinkin tired.

Last few workouts have felt great to get back into the swing of things. We were in the pool a few days back, but that was no good for me since i am terrible swimmer. I feel like we have been doing more things with weights which is great because I need to gain my strength back.

Today we did a 10k run. If you would have asked me 10-11 weeks ago if i can do a 10k id laugh in your face and maybe punch you. If you would have asked me today the same question, you would have gotten the same exact answer, however, today was different because i was ready to give it a try. 10 weeks ago i woulda said no, then go play xbox. well, i drew up a route for all of us to take looping around tempe town lake. it was a nice day, and there were only 3 of us. we stayed in a nice little pack and ran the whole thing together at the same pace. Made it back in roughly 55mins. I was super impressed with myself and Jose for being able to get through the whole run without issue or without stoppin. Keeping myself at a steady pace has always been difficult to me, i use to always go all out and then burn out. today, thanks to Sarah, i was able to keep it calm and on a good 10 min pace. it went very well.

1 more week to go kids then this whole things done with. I wish it was going on longer but hopefully the you call its tara was talking about will hold me over until Spring Shape Up starts up.

Weight Lost: 20 POUNDS., 10 short of my goal but i feel better.
