5K Results

Well... As you know I was hoping to hit 200 by Fathers Day... Well it didnt quite happen. I did how ever manage to break 200 this last week, so I am very happy about that. As you know my 5K was today. Keva was suppose to run it with me, but she ended up being sick, so I was on my own. I have to say, running in a race is alot different then just running on your own. My goal was to run it in under 30min and I was hoping for around 25min. I ended up running it in 27min 26sec. I took second in my age division and walked away with a silver medal, so I was very happy about that. I really think next time I can do better. It is hard to pace yourself when you are running with other people. I think I tried to hard to make it a race against other people instead of a race against the clock. I will for sure be running another 5K! It was a blast and very rewarding. So where do I go from here? I have been throwing around this question for some time. Right now I think my plan is to continue to cut till the feast. I will continue my running and weightlifting, but I will be focusing on weight loss. After the Feast I will begin a clean bulk and try to spend the winter putting on max muscle. I am very happy with my progress up to this point and I plan to continue on the same path!

Stay Positive!!!

Well,

Here I am on Thursday, 2 days away from the weekend.. As you may recall in my past entry I was shooting for 200 by the weekend. Did I (Will I) make it?? Well as of this morning I was 201.5. 1.5 to go. Do I think I will make it? Probably not. I have to say this week I have been in an incredible foul mood. I really dont know why. It could be diet, it could be exhaustion, it could me I mental. I really dont know. I think I wanted to hit 200 really bad and I was upset that it might not happen. But as I came to my senses and started doing some thinking, I realized that I was hurting my self and not helping my self. I think it is alot easier to reach a goal with a positive attitude then with a negative attitude. So what if I dont reach my goal of 200 by the weekend! What is it going to change? NOTHING! I have started refelecting on where I have come as well as where I am going. In 3 years I have gone from 255 to 201.5 in 5 months I have gone from 235 to 201.5. In 3 years I have gone from Walking only when necessary, to signing up for a 5K run FOR FUN!!. In 5 months I have gone from running a mile in a little over 10min to running 5 miles in 44mins. I am not saying all this to brag or say LOOK AT ME, but rather to reflect on what my potential truly is. So what if I dont hit my goal this week. I will hit it, and then set a new goal. I just need to remain positive through it all!
