three days in a row running for 30 minutes. that's pretty damn spiffy if I do say so myself. Don't think I'm going to make the backlog without starving myself today. But you live and learn. The data will help me to plan the next 2 weeks too. off to meetingville now

made it the whole half hour again today. Still more of a battle than I'd like. At some point it won't seem as long as it does. Hell, one day I might even enjoy it.

Ran for 30 minutes today. That is the goal time. I'm going to keep the 12 min/mile pace for a while though. It seems to be working pretty well for me. Did weights too. I had to cut the circuit short. I got to the gym later than I would have liked and did not want to be late for work. Still got some work to do before Friday though

Did weights and running today. Made it too miles. Ran for 24 minutes. I think I'm going to try and get the run time up to 30 minutes this week. Also think I hit the brats a bit hard yesterday at the party. Hopefully I'll still be able to make it to 228 by friday.

Well I was "slow out the gate" as they say this week. But it was definitely as strong finish. Slowing the treadmill down to 5.0 for a 12 minute mile really seems to have made a difference. I think for this sprint I will keep it at that pace. and perhaps step it up a in one of the next sprints. Hmm possibly that could define "done" for one of them. I am pleased that Halfway through the sprint I'm halfway to what I defined as done. Yay me!

Run was good today. It was over before I even knew it. I Think I'm going to se the alarm back to the regular time for tomorrow and try to run a bit extra. My heel feels better too after a little extra stretching. Next week I plan to add the weights back in before I go too long without them.

Seems like I may have had one too many taco's last night at dinner. No worries though. I still had a good workout today and I'll keep chugging along. I have 5 lbs. to go I guess.

So heres my idea. Since I seem to be railing at really getting back on track with the workouts. At least back on track with seeing any results. I am going to try and apply some of the scrum techniques from my working world. For now I will be running my workouts as two week sprints. The blog will take the place of my daily stand up and every other friday can be a showcase/retrospective. To start the backlog will consist of pounds i want to lose for that sprint. I think if I can settle into a routine I will add some stories that will involve what activities I do. For the current sprint my plan is to lose 4 pounds. Since I was 232 yesterday I only have 3 more to go.

I think part of what got me off track w when I switched jobs was the fact that I stopped taking time every morning to record what I had done and what my weight was. That allowed me to stop thinking about what I was doing and what I needed to work on. If I know that I will need to stop by here everyday and publish what I've done there is a greater chance that I will carry through with it.

Just not feeling it this morning. Try and do better tomorrow

Not sure what the deal is. I think part of it is the weights adding some bulk but still I'd like to see the weight go down a bit.
