I have been getting serious about running and fitness for a little over a year now... I decided to post all things related to my goals, nutrition, workouts, and accomplishments on this blog as a tool to help me gauge my progress. Here it goes!
Past accomplishments:
17:15 PR, 2-mile portion of PT test, May 2007 (I have run 16's in training, but never for record)
54:53 10k PR, Destin FL, March 2007 (appx 9:00 mile pace)
Goals:
Army 10 miler goal (October): 1:30 or 90 minutes (appx a 9:00-mile pace)
10k goal: 52:30 (appx 8:45 pace)
5k goal: 26:00 (appx 8:30 pace)
2mile PT test goal: Break 17 mins (appx 8:20 pace)
1 mile goal: 7:30
Plan of action will follow. Rough outline: Run twice a day for a 30 days (mixing speed, distance, hill work), add strength training (alternating lower and upper every other day), custom-tailor nutritional needs, and gauge progress.
30 days beginning today, May 9, 2007.

I have been working really hard on my biceps lately. I got a real workout last night. I got the biggest, heaviest fork I could find in the kitchen drawer (4.20 ozs....I actually weighed the thing) and lifted it many times up to my mouth! I was using spaghetti as an extra weight upon the fork too! I was using extra muscles by twirling the spaghetti upon the fork before I lifted that heavy thing up to my mouth! THEN, I worked on my shoulders and rotator cuffs! First, I dug into some rock-hard ice-cream to get it out of the container, then put it into a cup. I used a heavy spoon to stir it and stir it (to make it soft) and used those biceps AGAIN to lift the stuff up to my mouth! Before long, I will have the most BUFF arms!
Haha! That sounds like a pleasant way to work those arms... especially the ice-cream digging part!
