Starting over again...

I think I've lost the same 10 pounds about 10 times. Lost enough weight to have won the biggest loser if it weren't the same poundage over and over. When I read my journal from years past, it is always the same. I don't know if there is much I can do to overcome it. Perhaps the best way to overcome would be to remain injury and illness free for a full year. I have dealt with an injury earlier this year which limited my running and then just when I really needed to get busy with exercise, I was hit with a summer cold and lost 2 weeks of valuable training time. My time spent working in Cullman has cut my workouts. I will have to find some balance to get that time back. So right now I have gone back to my diet. I have run two days this week and if all goes well, I'll get some training done all week.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
