December 30 - Today is my 27th Birthday! Last night I purchased a new car, a 2010 Honda Fit. It is 'fitting' for this journey of fitness that my car also be oriented to my effort.
I have been feeling so crappy about myself for not working out as I need to do. And alas today I was blessed to be let out of work at 2:00pm so I had no excuse to not run. I couldn't claim I was too busy, too tired, too full from eating, migrainey, or anything even remotely acceptable as a reason to not run. So when I got home I changed and got on with the journey.
The Baltic Sea - First 1.0 miles in 12:09 118cals, kept going and completed the 1.5 miles in 17:37 172cals.
I did 10 kettlebell throws per arm of the 15lb kettlebells.
Listowel, Ireland - This course is starting to become infamous as the 'just a little bit more but not the whole thing' course. I targeted to do 1.0-1.5 miles and end it. But once I got going I urged myself on to do 2.0 miles. And then once I was there I urged myself on to do the last 0.5 miles. And so in 26:54 I completed 2.5 miles 289cals. My split times were: 1.0/11:35; 1.5/16:28; 2.0/21:37. I ran at 5.0, 5.5, 5.8 and even 6.0mph.
Most Motivating Song heard during the workout: Chris Cagle "My Love Goes On and On"; it has a good driving beat for a fast run.
New Miles: 4.0
Total Miles: 31.5
Miles Remaining: 1469.5
Weight: 145.2
