Well after my last 10K I decided to kick up my training for future races by working at least 2 to 3 days a week on hills/sprints. I need to get my time for all my races down and since 90% of the races I am in have hills why not start there. Over all it was really a good time for me since I am still having issues with weight. Plus I noticed that my cardiovascular system is doing rather well. Even after my sprints up hill I still wasn’t having any issues with breathing. So my goal is to be able to do a 10K with hills (same course I did last night) in 50min or less. pretty optimistic but I am up for the challenge. Wish me luck.

Well after a few months of running I actually did it I competed in my first 10K. Like Lisa Sabin says I usually set up a few goals that I try to keep. For this race I had just 3 goals.
1. Run the whole way
2. Don’t finish last.
3. Finish under 60 Min.
Well I did 2 of the 3 so I am pretty happy. To explain why I didn’t hit my 3rd goal of finishing under 60 min is cause I never train with hills so when I hit this MONSTER of a hill it totally kicked my butt. I did run up the whole thing but after that I think my grandma and her walker could of passed me up. So in short I need to work on running up hills. I figured if I wrote it maybe Ill want to do it. Well I only have 2 more 5K’s before my half marathon so it is time that I get out there and hit some hills and lower my run time. Again thanks to all who sent me messages of encouragement it means a lot to me.

Well after 2 days of rest and thinking about why my 5K time went up I went to the gym and decided to keep a close watch on my time. I am happy to report the on Monday my 3.2 mile time was 30:38 (or something like that) and yesterday I ran the same distance in 27.34. I guess a couple of days rest really does do a body good. (or maybe it was the 14hrs or yard work the day before) either way I am really excited about running my 10K race this weekend so wish me luck.

So when I started running today I felt great thought my stride was good my breathing felt great so I decided not to look at my watch cause I honestly thought I was running that fast. I was hoping that I would come in with a 25 to 28 5K time but when I crossed the finish line I had run a 30:34. 
Not real happy with that time dont know what I was doing wrong. Oh well I dont need to run to hard this week since I have a 10K this saturday. Well wish me luck on the 10K this is my first one all I am looking for is lower time than an hour and to finish not in last place. Have a good week all!

I am so happy that my body is holding out with being 255lbs and able to run 5 miles with out stopping. Since this was the 3rd day in a row with running it was a little off pace plus I got my butt kicked by the wind. Still had a lot of fun with it though. I have to keep an eye on what I eat but I think my weight is finally starting to move. I am trying right now to keep my runs set to Mon & Fri 3 Miles and Tues-Thur 5 Miles or more. Ill save my really long runs for the weekends that I don’t have any races. I have a 10K next Saturday so I know that this week I will keep my running to a nice pace but nothing that is gonna kill me. Till next time.

This was a blast! Got to run with my wife for the first mile and then her back was hurting too bad so she stopped and went over to do weight training so I just decided to keep up the pace we were running (cause she is faster then me) and ended up running a pretty good 5 mile time ,in my book. I love to run with my wife she is so motivating. (and HOT)

Just needed to go on an easy run so I went over to the gym and ran 40 laps around the track. wasn’t too bad. I remember a day where I aspired to run 4 miles now I consider 4 miles an easy day. I love this stuff.

Well I did it I finished my second 5K. I would love to say that it was easy but over half of it was into a very strong blistering cold wind and it was not a gentle wind either. Plus this is my first time running a race to where half/most of the race was uphill too. I would like to think that I did pretty good since both of those conditions I have never trained for and I still dropped about a min off my total time. Now for the next few weeks I get to train for my 10K coming up on the 26th of April. That one also has a couple of nice hills in there but I now know that I need to work on my hill strength. Thanks to everyone for all the words of encouragement.
