I did it! 5 work-outs before my 10-year high school reunion!!
I'm a little disappointed that work got in the way. I really think I could have fit in a little bit more had it not been for work (working late hours, early morning conference calls). Saturday morning, I was cycling away on the exercise bike at my parents' house while listening to a release status call! Oh well, I'm happy that I achieved my weekly goal! =)

Holy Moly, it's been a month...

After moving to my new job (I got promoted to management in mid-May), there has been no time for anything anymore! 60 to 70-hr work weeks leave less time for family and friends, and even less time for working out. It's been a month since my last run... a month!!! When work is busy and stress is high, usually the weight comes off on its own (albeit in a very unhealthy way), but lately I've been feeling as though I've let myself go because in the short spurts of leisure time that I can find to spend with family and friends, I try to compact in there as much merriment and relaxation as possible; this includes food, drink, and plenty of unburnt calories. As a result, I'm soft and and flabby! (.... Oh, but that juicy ribeye, fries, garlic bread sopping with butter, and cold beer I had at Mitchell's dad's house was so good...) I need to get my flabby bootie into gear!

Week of 6/29 - 7/5
Thursday, 7/3
3.02 miles - 39:15 minutes
Average page: 13:00 min/mile

Saturday, 7/5
Town Lake, 4.5 mile trail - Ran for 40 minutes, then ran/walked the rest of the way for approximately 15 minutes, yielding a total time of around 55 minutes.
Average pace: ~ 12:13 min/mile
