Weigh in this week: 277 pounds (down 5 from last week!)

On Wednesday, I got a mille on each of the two ten minute runs. On Friday, I was able to get 2.5 miles in 25 minutes. If I can keep up those averages, I would run a 31:30 minute 5k. I would be happy with that!

I find that when I run, I start off pretty well for the first lap. The biggest desire to give up takes place somewhere in the first mile or so. After that, the legs become a little numb and your ability to keep going resorts to your breathing. The longer you run, you find your head is heavy and hard to keep up. In the last two laps, I was able to push a little harder after lagging in the middle laps so that I could finish strong.

The Biggest Loser is a great game for Wii! It's like doing the show, except there's no money involved :P

NEXT WEEK: Three days of 25 minute runs. It's going to be a blast!
