Captains log 4182013

Thursday, oh how nice it is to have a day off from work.  You see I work a 21 day schedule where I work every Wednesday.  So I start on a Wednesday, work 8 days through the next Wednesday, get Thursday Friday off, then work 7 days through the next Friday and get 4 days off and head back to work on Wednesday.  So essentially I get a 2 day weekend (Thurs Fri) every 21 days and get a 4 day weekend (Sat Sun Mon Tues) every 21 days.

Today I used the first of 5 planned PT sessions.  I did not really learn anything new from the session but it is nice to have some coaching.  I have been doing everything on my own for so long that I found it nice to have someone tell me to do what I know I should be doing but dont usually:P  Needless to say, I am going to be sore, or I am sore now.. I am going to drink a lot of water and make sure I flush my body of all the lactic acid.  I did walk for about 3/5 of a mil up a hill on treadmill for a warm up before the session so I did get a good solid workout in!

8 days until Vampire run.  I am pretty psych'd.  That and wife and I signed up to be volunteers at the Tough Mudder this year with the anticipation that next year we are doing it.  Also today we discussed doing the Run Disney half in Orlando next January (in fact all the Run Disney events look fun here).  I think I should be able to train for that and it would be a great way to spend time with the wife. Goals people!  I can already get 5.5 to 6 miles done in an hour, running for two hours and some change seems like a good goal.  After this 10k training program we will see where I stand.

Weighed myself today: 243 (I saw 242, but I am rounding up the tenths).  Clothes are fitting better.

Update: Just did this for wife and I...  yep yep yep....
