March 24, 2008

Ive been sick lately. I think I caught that flu that has been going around. Anyways, because of that I haven't pushed myself to work out to the extreme that I had been. I thought it would be best to let my body and immune system rest so that I can continue training at my fullest.

Also because of this I have been forced to withdraw from the 5k I was planning on running in 5 days. I still feel that I am able to run the full thing, but I would not be as competitive as I wanted to be. I still intend on running a 5k in the very near future.

I will being full training tomorrow once again.

Call me lazy and you would be right. I have been lazy when it comes to posting everything I do and eat. I have not been lazy in keeping to a diet and working out however. In fact I'm on my way to working out right now. And as of tomorrow I will once again list everything I eat and do.

I've also begun training for a 5k to be completed at the end of this month. This will not only help me begin phase II of my training but also restore some competition into my routine.

I've been lazy and out of town here and there. I haven't been working out as much as I should, and I haven't been watching my diet as closely.

But I have recently been able to borrow a pair of shoulder pads and a helmet...so my passion is kinda renewed. I feel like It's me against the world in this battle, I need some more motivation from someone.
