I feel like Forrest Gump today...
I guess I was carrying a lot of stress and anxiety over a potential promotion I had applied for back in March. I was feeling confident going in... but in the end, I won't even get an interview... huge disappointment. What did I do? Drove home for an hour in traffic mulling it over. Got home and saw my running gear so I decided to run to take my mind off of it and burn up what was no doubt a lot of stored cortisol.

RUN CKWORKSALOT, RUN!

Decided today would be my long run instead of this weekend, and just set out on a slow leisurely pace taking in the neighborhood sights. With no course mapped out, I just ran and ran, thinking I might get lucky and hit 5 miles. 30 minutes in my wife called and I answered the phone without stopping and was able to carry on a conversation. Heart rate averaged 145 BPM the whole time. After a while longer I checked my mapmyrun app and I had already surpassed 5 miles so I just kept chugging along. At 6 miles I was still feeling good both lung-wise and leg-wise, and realized at 6.2 miles "I will complete my first 10K!" 1:11:59 is my new baseline! But I was not done! So I pressed on and ultimately stopped at 7 miles total, not because I was tired, but I did not want to risk overdoing it. A personal best for me! Not bad for a guy with 5 coronary bypasses! SO LONG CORTISOL!

Been a pretty good week thus far for running! Ran another 5 mile course this past weekend. Then I got to run with my 20 year old son! We ran 2 miles under a 10 minute mile pace (I am usually closer to 11 minute mile average). After a 3 minute walk, we proceeded to do 3/4 speed sprint intervals on the way home... run 2 telephone pools, walk 1, run 2, walk 1.... for the last sprint my teen competitiveness came out and I broke into a full out sprint! Not to be beaten by his old man, my boy kicked in to catch me and it was neck and neck at the finish line. Lots of huffing and puffing and laughing at the finish line! Followed that fun up 2 days later with a 30 minute run focused on increasing my stride length (equating to increased pace speed). Later, I used ontherun website to track the run... turns out I ran exactly 3.1 miles (5K)... so I have meet one of my mini goals of completing a 5K in 30 minutes... down from 48 minutes when I started!

Reflecting on the run with my son, it was somewhat bittersweet... I am glad we can run and be active together now... but I am mad that I missed all those years when he was younger when I could have been running, playing soccer or basketball with him on a regular basis. I instead chose to make excuses... "I don't have time to go to the gym because I work to much". Bottom line is I did not need a gym to lose the weight... I only needed to control my calorie intake... the gym and exercise only came after my energy levels returned. My FS friends, if you are struggling with indecision, don't wait for the pain of remaining the same (sickness and disease) to become greater than the pain of change (calorie control and walking)... CHANGE NOW!
