Will be checking my weight every Monday morning.  It may appear that I've lost ~12 pounds last week ... totally bogus.  I put in 232 last week just to get going as an estimate.  That was the weight I was at a couple of weeks ago, mid-afternoon (after lunch), and fully clothed.

I'll use the 220.5 as the baseline going forward.  Good thing is ... 10 less pounds to mentally lose.  This puts me at 25 - 30 lbs to go.

Played some tennis, then ran with my wife tonight.  She rips up the tennis courts and likes to do 100 meter interval training.  I joined her on several intervals, but my legs were a little drained still from Saturday.  Fun to do some all out sprints though.  Guess this old man still has a little kick left in him.  My wife still kicked my butt though!!!

Still a little smoke in the air here in Daybreak from the nearby Herriman fire.  My lungs were burning a little toward the end of my run tonight.

I was deeply saddened as I watched the fire driven down the mountainside by the wind last night from my house.  Not sure how many homes were lost ... I'll need to check the news.

No running today.  Resting a little.  I really don't feel like I have the mileage base to run every single day.  I think different body parts would start to rebel.  3-4 times a week will be my goal for now.

 

Edit:  Not as much sleep as I would have liked.

Good evening!

The cool weather helped push me past 5 miles tonight.  Quiet, contemplative, mild pace.  My right hamstring is a little tight from the intervals the other day, but feels good after tonight's run.

Discovered that site Map My Run to help with the distances.  Looks like I may have been underestimating some of my distances.  Last Saturday's run was spot on my guess.  I'm sure there's some variation depending on my mouse clicks, but as long as I have a relative value I don't really care too much.

Good night everyone!!!

Chased after a little yellow ball on a tennis court tonight in place of running.  Was thinking about running later in the evening, but got some dinner with my wife and watched foreign film.

The film was a romance film called Kinamand (Danish) or Chinaman (English) starring Bjarne Henriksen and Vivian Wu.  Anyone seen it?  Both my wife and I enjoyed it.

Possible spoiler alert ....

There is a quote at the end before the credits ...

"I thought that love could wait too late too late too late" credited to Omi

Would anyone happen to have any info on this poem?  One of my interests is Japanese literature ... this could be Japanese, Chinese, ????  I have no idea.
