Another one bites the dust!

Another Saturday completed. Another week completed. It feels good. My running is better. Although my time doesn't show it, my physical recovery time has increased and I don't ache everywhere after I run. Still having issues with that pesky Achilles tendon, but other than that my body is starting to deal with the strain. I'll continue to do strengthening exercises until the end of June, and at that point I'll focus on the cardiovascular. I have gotten back down to 285 which is 6 lbs less than where I started and I am really excited about that because less weight will make running easier.

I'm excited about the change of venue, that golf course was getting more and more tempting. Another Saturday and I would have been playing hooky. Although I will miss Chick fila...mmmmm mmmmmm!

By the by, I have been investigating running shirts for the group and I think we need to confirm colors and styles, I am going to try and have a couple of samples if not this weekend definitely when I return from vacation. I'd like to have something by the beginning of August, I think it will help motivate.
