After three weeks with zero running, but a whole lot of work, stress and craziness, finally got on the roads again, inspired by a new friend named Heather, who I happen to be dating now (long, long, long story, which I do not want to recount here). Heather is in great shape and does something called a boot camp workout to stay that way. I figured I had to get off my keister and get back at it to stay with her. Took me a while to get loosened on my laps around MAFC (it was cooler today, but that's because it was thunderstorming), but that's not exactly a surprise. For the first run in 22 days, it went OK. And I did some upper body work too. Need to work on that, need to work on glutes and hammies too, along with running. I think that will be my fitness goal for the next few months, to kinda reshape this body a bit. I continue to be amazed that attractive women want to go out with me, but I'm learning to go with it -- and to give them the chance to say no. You do that, sometimes they say yes. Heather did, without hesitation. |
