Gymmy Gym

Just hit the gym pretty hard. I have been working extra hard to try and get in to shape. It helps work out my frustrations and at least momentarily get my mind off things. My goal is to weigh 199. I think the last time I have a 1 as the first digit in my weight, I was in 10th grade. I tried to add as much muscle as possible over the summer and then my goal was to cut down. I got up to 253, and now am sitting at around 226. Basically half way home! The main thing I have changed is portion control and cardio. I'd also like to be able to run a half marathon in May. I've never really been a runner because of the whole asthma thing. It stinks because it's always been where physically I've felt like I can run, but I just flat out can't breathe. It REALLY holds me back and takes forever to build up any sort of endurance.

Today I ran 3.31 miles in 30 minutes. That's what a 9:10 minute mile average? The most common goal for runners is to run a 9 minute mile in a half marathon or full marathon. That is pretty legit. A 9:10 mile average would get me in just under 2 hours. That is definitely my goal...but I don't think I could keep that up for another hour and a half. Maybe over the next 6 months I can build up that endurance and turn in a sub 2 hour half marathon.
