I'm Still Here...

Yes, I'm still here. And yes, It's been over 3 weeks since my last post, but if you follow me on Twitter you know that I'm still chugging along.

On the fun side...two days after my last post the family headed to Walt Disney World. We were there for a week and other than the record heat (mid 90s w/ 100+ heat index) we had a great time. Speaking of WDW, I'm actually sitting in my room at Pop Century as I write this post. I'm here to do the last ever Tower of Terror 13k tomorrow (Sat) night.

On the training/running front, I'm still progressing right along. I need to work on consistency, but other than that I'm happy with my progress at the moment. In fact, last Sunday I did my longest run ever (the 2009 WDW 1/2 doesn't count as a run)... 7 mi in 1:53:11 (inc warm-up and cool down) with the following splits...
15:26
15:46
15:54
15:17
15:54
15:21

Not too bad and right on the pace I was shooting for.

My last run was Wednesday where I did 3mi in 48:58 with the following splits...
14:49
14:25

I set out on the run to do two sub 15:00 miles. This gives me some confidence that a sub 45 min 5k is in my near future.

The weight is still going in the right direction. Yesterday, I am down to 310.5. I'm now just 6.5 pounds pounds from my "low" point of 304 at the end of 2007.

There much more that I want to post, but will save it for an upcoming post. I will try to post something on Sunday about the race.

Till Next Time...KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!
