Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
I have officially made it my first two run week for well over a month. I even pushed myself to three miles and it felt really good. I am not at the office today so I was able to make the trip to the gym with my wife. She is always a great motivator and I love it when we are able to go to the gym together. Once we get there we both do our own ...

I needed that
by

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
Lately I have been apathetic about running, or maybe the definition for pathetic would be a better overall synopses. The last time I ran, long long ago, my shoulder hurt for a few days following. I used that as an excuse to not get out and run for the rest of the week. The weeks following I continued to use that excuse and added to it the ex...

I don't want to look

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
Right now my running log is kinda like my 401k..... I don't want to look at it. Lately my running log has been very similar to my 401k. I have not wanted to look at either of them. Both of them have nothing good to show. If I looked at either one of them I will just get depressed.But, looking on the bright side, like my 401k, my running log w...

I have just this past weekend experienced just one of the many benefits to losing weight and endeavoring to live a healthier lifestyle. I have been horribly under insured as far as life insurance is concerned for many years. During the years I occasionally looked into fixing this issue, but I was terribly disappointed and discouraged at the rat...

Slow Going

The going is still slow. I have had very little opportunity to run lately with the continued pain in my shoulder. Don't count me out, because the day will come when this affliction is healed and you all will be needing to watch your back once again. :) Tim Wilson - blog.262quest.com

I have taken to reading.... for Smart People

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
Since I have not been able to run much lately I decided I needed something to do with my time. If you know me at all you know that is not true. Time is a more precious commodity than nearly anything I can think of. I have, however, decided that I needed to do a lot more reading. I have quite a list of books I would like to read, many already...

The ups and downs
by
Tim W.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Weight loss
I have stopped posting my weekly weigh in and measurement reports, mainly because it is getting discouraging. I know that is part of the motivation behind it, but it is causing me to really hate keeping up this blog. I think this blog still serves an important role so I don't want to get a bad attitude towards it. As you are aware if you have...

This past Thursday afternoon I went back to see the doctor concerning my collar bone. This appointment was a follow up to see how everything was healing and to discuss the removal of the pin. I was looking forward to this appointment because this pin can be oh so uncomfortable at times, and is truly in the way many times. I wasn't very optimi...

Another new distance

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
Well, I did it this morning. I pushed past the two miler for the first time since surgery. I got up this morning about my normal time of 4:40, but this time I didn't do the normal hitting the computer to clean up my e-mail and read some blogs. Living in the Atlanta area where we are experiencing the shortage of gas, I too am feeling the crunc...

Monday morning I hit another small milestone. I hit the 2 mile distance for the first time since the surgery. You may remember a short time ago I tried to do this but ended up stopping short because of pain in my shoulder. Well, this time I hit the 2 mile mark and felt good. Baby Steps....

Sometimes, it hurts too much

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
Some mornings when I get up my shoulder just hurts too much to run. I feel like I am using it as an excuse to not get out and run, but I am just not sure. This morning is one of those mornings. I am up, out of bed, getting dressed to run. It is 4:55 and I am walking downstairs, but my shoulder is just aching. If my shoulder is aching like t...

Back on the road
by

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
I took the leap and stepped back out onto the road this morning. I went for a short run to see how everything felt. The short out and back route I took wasn't even quite a mile but I wanted to see how my shoulder held up under the different type of jarring it would get from the road as opposed to the treadmill. It went good, but I really felt ...

Posted in: Blog Posts in Endurance Training
It has now been just over 2 weeks and the running is still going good, although slow and short. I am still only able to go about 1 mile at a time before my shoulder starts to hurt. I have dropped the time a bit, but I am not trying to hard at this time. So far I have only done the running on the treadmill, it has been kind of a safety net about...

Eating Slowly

Posted in: Blog Posts in Weight loss
One of the biggest problems I had over the years of overeating and just plain not eating right was eating too fast. Growing up with brothers I am sure had something to do with this, but was not the only reason. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I worked in management at a Long John Silvers. Managers were not given breaks, and we ...

Following a 1 mile run yesterday morning I felt really good, so this morning I decided and planned on doing a two miler. Things were going really good with a sub 10 minute mile for the first mile and I was able to maintain it through the beginning of the second mile. Shortly into the second mile my collar bone started to pop a bit more than I ...

To Count Or Not To Count

8 months of counting calories behind me and I am not sure if it truly helped me lose any weight. OK, yes I am sure it helped me, but how much it helped me I will never know. I was losing quite a bit of weight before I tried counting calories by just portion control and working out. It wasn't till I came across the Traineo website that I even ...
