316.5
This Week: +5.5 lbs
July Total: 4.0 lbs
Total: 24.0 lbs
Hmmmmm...I didn't actually say it last week, but I knew the 6 pound lost was somewhat of a fluke. And, I'm 100% sure it was mostly due to dehydration. I think the real number for last Monday should have been around 3 pounds, which puts this weeks number at +2. But, even then, I believe todays number is not "real". A few weeks ago (June, 18th), I posted a gain but also said that it would come right back down...and it did. I think today's number falls into the exactly same category. Just as last weeks number was low because of dehydration, this weeks number is high because of water retention. Between my body fighting off sore muscles and fighting off some ant bites I think it's understandable. So, I won't be surprised if I'm back down to around 311 by midweek. We shall see.
So far I've received 15 sponsors. Most of whom are Trideum employees. This is a very good thing because the Trideum Corporation is matching every dollar given by Trideum employees. But for this to work I need to have more non-Trideum sponsors than Trideum sponsors. Last weekend at MagicMeets I received several verbal commitments from book authors to donate books to the wish children as the Trideum Foundation adopts each wish. Thanks to everyone who has already sponsored me and to those to come.
I'm finally getting back into the swing of things with my "running". I've been bad over the last few weeks and haven't been consistent about getting out and exercising. I am also changing my routine from the 30/30 workout to more of a "goal in mind" workout. Instead of just running 30 second segments, I'm now running till I need to recover. So far that is anywhere from 1 minute to 2 mintues per segment. I've already increased the distance covered in 30 minutes by about .2 miles. I really wanted to get out this morning and do my first 6.5K, but I'm still a little sore and tired from Saturday's workout and 5 hours of yard work. What I'm working towards right now is to really start getting ready for the Tower of Terror race in October. My plan is to get used to going the distance and then work on increasing the pace. Right now I believe I can do the 6.5K (4.04mi) in about 72 minutes. My goal is to knock at least 22 minutes off that time. I've got just over 3 months and I believe I can...no, I belive I will do it. Game on, Mike!!!
Till Next Time...Take Care!!!
