2001.09.29 RANDOM THOUGHTS... Tomorrow is our 2nd Carousel-to-Coaster 5K Race. Last year, this was the first 'race' that we participated in. We both walked it and finished in 51:38 - not a bad time for someone around 300 lbs. This year's finish should be under 40 minutes. More tomorrow. Also, some new pics are coming.

I'm still having trouble finding time to really get into a weight training routine, or floor exercises. I know that both be very beneficial - and I should have time to begin in about another 3 weeks. Work, work, work. We just had a RIF (reduction in force a.k.a. layoff) so there is even more to do. But I enjoy my job, and the current crunch is just about over.

 

2001.09.30 CAROUSEL TO COASTER... Well, we "wogged" (walk/jog) the 5K. I finished in 34:05, a great improvement from last year. Vicki finished in 31:15 - about 3 minutes ahead of me!! I was wearing my heart rate monitor and decided it was time to walk any time it hit 180bpm. The recovery rate was fast, but cost me a few minutes. Best to not have the "sweeper" vehicle actually sweeping some body off the pavement :O)

As promised, here is is the picture of me prior to the race. I was looking into a very bright sun.

At this time last year, I was hovering right around 300 lbs. Today, the fat kid is 194, one hundred pounds less.

 

Thank You for Visiting!!
