Today’s plan was for 3.5 miles. I felt good, but according to my pace, not as good as I have been in past runs. I am fine with that. I am still in the beginning of my training. The stats are 3.73 miles in 33.30 min with a pace of 8.58 min/mile. I just have to keep in mind to push myself that little bit harder. I think for next week I need to change my music. It seems that when I have techno playing, I slow down. When the angry music is playing, it seems as if the miles just fly by. Seems as if I need to load up the most angry music I can find. The more screaming, the faster I will go….at least that is my current plan.
Something else I will need to work on is my weight. I seem to have a hard time controlling it. I have no self control. Kelly loves to bake and I love to eat. It SEEMED like a match made in heaven. Well its not. I try to stick to a diet, then one day, I just unload all of my hunger on anything I can get my hands on. I must admit, I do feel guilty. Every night when I go to sleep, I think of what a pro athlete said to us last year at the Ironman World Champs in Hawaii. Tim Deboom said that in the beginning in his season, he goes to bed so hungry every night that he has a headache. I honestly don’t think I have ever been that hungry, but maybe its worth a shot. Eat a few small meals a day, exercise the rest, and somehow get Kelly to stop baking…

Hey Mike, Good work on the pace. And don’t push too hard. Let effort be the guide. If it feels hard, it probably is
As for dieting, there is no need to go to bed so hungry your head hurts. But yeah, to drop weight you will likely feel some hunger at least for a few days till your body starts to adjust. I pay attention to calories. I eat less than I burn, I lose weight. You’ll do it. Get some fruit.
Oh and stop blaming your wife
