So instead of using this blog as my bitch post/school progress update thingy, I have decided to put it to better use. I propose to add a physical fitness tracker journal in this piece so I can chart my progress as I get myself back into shape. Tonight is my first night in what I hope to be a long list of days/nights of sweat and hard work. As I told S&P tonight, I want to look good in time for my residency interview. Well, that and I want to look good, naked.
Tonight, I went for a walk/run. Mind you I haven't really worked out since this past fall, so my time wasn't exactly the best. But I did it...mostly walking, but I ran the last mile, so it felt good. Real good. Expect the next stats to be a bit better.
In order to accurately gauge my training, I have employed the help of my handy dandy ipod touch using the Nike Workout App to see how I measure up from day to day. I will post the results here along with my goals and random musings.
Allons-y!

Awesome!! Keep it up, Nike+ is a huge help. You'll be running 13.1 miles with me in no time at all! :)
God you are so going to get me into trouble w/Ms. J revealing things like that to the great wide world of cyberspace - I'll have some explaining to do... oh well it's worth the laughs.
Btw they are called waruffle's (walk-run-shuffle) and there is no shame in them, or so I try and tell myself. Sounds good, I wouldn't want to know my average speed and all that.
And not that you have to worry but for safety sake keep one ear unplugged from your lovely ipod so you can be aware of your surroundings. I find that I tend to zone out as it is.
This is also where I say - oooo, you can check out my running blog and check out the range of my poor taste in music and all the other tidbits.
Jill - Totally! Looking forward to the day!
S&P - Ooops! Didn't realize how that tidbit about looking good could be misconstrued. My bad. Yep, I'll check out your blog. Just send me the link ;-)
www.runismymantra.blogspot.com - sorry I forgot that I have all these different blogs that are not connected with each other.
No worries, I just though it was funny. And a half marathon sounds like fun - it's actually a really good length for a people who want a challenge without crazy commitment. Do it!
