5 MILES

This weekend I ran the farthest I have every run, 5 miles!! Greg livingwithfaith.blogspot.com and I are still in training for the big Nashville half marathon and we ran together on Sunday afternoon, if was slow but we got it done. I am still very sore, but have a great sense of accomplishment. I ate pretty well this weekend, but could have done better.

I have purchased the bike that will take me to my first triathlon and to a new world of fitness this spring. I had no intention on buying a bike until I got to my goal weight, but I went to Gearhead to just look, and there is was a shiny new Allez Elite, it is a 2005 model, and was marked down $400 buck so I could not pass it up. My loving wife has agreed to hold me to my original plan of not getting a new bike till I reach my weight goal by not allowing me to ride it till I get to the goal. I am kind of glad, because I want it to be a big deal, so I will look at it everyday in my garage for inspiration. If I can figure out how to post a picture or a link I will show you all.

It is going to be great spring and summer of fitness. I am more excited about the coming months with family and vacation and all that comes with spring and summer than I have been since the summer Kim and I got married. I know it has much to do with the blessings that God has given us with our friends and church family, but it also has a lot to do with this being a summer of excitment about my physical condition.

Pushing on towards the goal!!
