Week 1 Day 5
Distance: 0.0
Time: 0'0"
So, yeah. Anyway, today is a rest day, but that has left me some time to think about some things I need to accomplish outside of running, or need to accomplish to better facilitate running. First and formeost I need to make a real effort to reduce my weight. I'm currently hovering at a husky 230lbs, which I guesstimate is 30 pounds more than I should inflict upon my frame. Second, I need to take time on rest days to do alternative exercise, maybe swimming or biking. This, so far, has not been a successful endeavor. Interestingly, despite being a hypothetical 30 lbs. overweight I feel surprising comfortable. Odd.
On a side note, I am looking into acquiring a bicycle for commuting to work. East Dallas is small and my traveling necessities could, I'm imagining, be efficiently met by a bicycle. Additionally I would therefore get more exercise and save money on gas. Those, on the surface, would seem to be good things. I've spent about an hour exploring the Internet for answers to my most pressing questions, and most have been answered, but I still shudder when I think about the actual bicycle I'm going to purchase. My instinctive cheap-as-hell nature is to go to one of the myriad pawn shops in the area and buy a bike. My more impulsive nature really wants to blow $600+ bucks on something kickass and new. I guess my more gay, flamboyant side wants some white wall tires, fenders and style! Yeah.
