Welcome

For my first entry, I would like to explain the purpose of this blog.

I've tried other websites that track weight and goals and all that crap, but they don't really do what I want. So I've decided to make my own attempt at a blog tracker. So here goes....

Here is the general plan.

Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri: Distance run (>=3miles) 
Tues/Thurs/Sat: Mile run & Strength training 

Starting information: 

3/16/08

Went to the Rec Center at 11:00am. I had gone out the night before and had a pretty rough hangover. I was also catching up from not having run in a while. Overall, it wasn't my best performance.

Honey, I'm proud of your for setting this up! I know this is important to you and of course I support it. :-) I will be as sarcastically encouraging as I can! ;-)

I am also proud that you set up a blog...I've been blogging since 2002 so help me and I love it even though I've slacked off this year. Enjoy.

My advice?

One day of rest. I think I heard somewhere that you're supposed to give at least one day during the week to allow your body to rest and re-coop so you don't hurt yourself.
