Phase Two

With the help of a stomach virus I managed to lose 3 of the 4 lbs I picked up over vacation. However, I believe the virus left me in a weakened state so my saturday morning run suffered a little. But on a positive note my achilles tendon held up well with very little pain afterwards. I think my regiment of stretching and ice is starting to pay dividends.

The week starts the next phase of my training. The focus is now more on cardio vascular endurance and less on building strength. So now there are 3 components to my weekly goals. A training component, a weight component, and a time component. Saturday I will establish my first official time and in subsequent weeks I will have a time goal. I will also take a page from celebrity fit club, and set a weight goal every week. And I will continue to strive to complete my 5 days a week training schedule.

Time: Establish base time.
Weight: (286.4lbs) Lose 2lbs.
Training: 5 days
