Doesn’t that subject title make is sound like I’ve run alot of them? Truth this will only be my 2nd one. I ran my first one 3 years ago. I think I finished that one in 43 minutes. I half jogged / half walked it. My goal for this one is to jog the whole thing. 3.1 miles = 5k So I’m going to try out interval training, I found an easy pattern either on sparks.com or from runner’s world. I was tired when I looked it up so I’m not sure which. Basically its 3 mins low, 1 minute medium, 3 min low, 1 minute med, … repeat until you hit 27 minutes. Time to give it a try… now where did I put my running shoes?
Tomato Experiment Year 2
Ok my first backyard tomato planting was very poor. Only got 3 tomatoes from my 6 plants. I’m starting again but from seeds this time, so I’ve got over 20 plants. Hope to build an above ground garden box next weekend. Photos will be uploaded and linked then.
Tomato Experiment.
I started growing 6 tomato plants in my backyard last week. Since I just downloaded the wordpress app for android I thought I’d try to blog a bit more.
Here comes school
Ready or not next week I have to go back to work. I get 1 week of inservices, a few hours in my room and then wham… new batch of students. I can’t believe another year has come and gone. Why does time fly by so fast when you are older. I remember as a kid how slow things seemed to go.
I’m looking forward to this year, not really sure why. Maybe I’m trying to put a subconscious positive attitude/spin thingy on this year. Maybe I’ve had too much coffee and my brain cells are hoped up on caffeine. Who knows?
July 31st Exercise Update
Ok, doing this daily isn’t going to work but once a week or once every 2 weeks might be possible.
Only update is I’ve been able to run 1.5 miles twice now at a pace of 13min/mile. No signficate weight lose yet. I’m finding it hard not eating a huge dinner and the lack of late night snacks is driving me nuts… I need to buy alot more gum.
Exercise Log for July 21, 2009
It took me 30 minutes this morning to get moving and awake enough to get to the gym. Once there I did 2 miles on the treadmill with an avg of 16:20 per mile. I jogged 1/4 of the 2 miles. My goal is to eventual jog the whole 2 miles, but I am just starting and the whole not being able to breath and the racing heart rate is very annoying. Once I stop running my heart rate drops back to normal pretty fast so I know I’m just very very out of shape. I’m going to need to find a nice weight training program on the internet so I can work on my upper body strength and my hamstrings.
Stats for today (goal 200 lb and 38 in waist)
weight: 260lb
waist: 42 in
Disc 1 done
Ok, I think I’m done with disc one of the camp highlight video DVD, I’m going to need a 2nd DVD to include the Amazing Race and the messages preached by Pastor Mark Marbles of CO.
Hmm strange I’ve gone full screen not sure what keys I hit in the dark..
any ways… I’ve had a blast editing these videos.. It’s let me relive the camp experience again a few days later. I need to speak with Brandon before I try to post anything here… i know he wanted to put some of the videos up on the youth web page.
Well its late and I should be trying to think about sleep. Laters
What have I been up to
Well since school ended a month or so ago I’ve pretty much just been watching TV and playing a new MMORPG called Eve Online. I did start a new flower bed in my backyard but its pretty hot here so its on hold until cooler temperatures arrive.
Church camp was this week and I helped film all the activities. I wish camcorders where so easy to use back when I went to camp so I could watch them again. I’m glad I’m being able to help these teenagers capture this point in time.
New game eating my free time
Seems embeded ad campaigns work. I clicked on the eveonline.com ads and ended up getting an account. I’ve already been killed once and I wasn’t even trying to PvP. I’m living now in more secure space and working on being a miner. Once I can afford to lose ships I’ll check out 0.0 space. if you are looking for a new online game join me.
