I'm glad this thread has been resurrected.

Me too. I'm glad I've been resurrected as well.

More elliptical goodness, but I hope to teach myself to run this spring.

NOTE: I'm taking it easy on the ellipticals as they are just a lead up to my plan on April 1 to begin a beginner running program. (Wish me luck.)

Another 15 miles/24.1km worth of roadwork.

Total Distance....56232.2km + 24.1km = 56256.3km

2 5k runs since last post:

Total Distance....5656.3 + 10 = 5666.3km
Distance to destination....767.7 + 10 = 777.7km of 985 to Tacoma/Seattle

Oh and watch the digits guys, we almost ended up adding about 50 000 k to our total distance.

Good luck with the running, Guru... I'm always up for joining you!

2 elliptical sessions, Monday and Wednesday (and maybe one later today):

Total Distance....5666.3 + 15.2 = 5681.5km
Distance to destination....777.7 + 15.2 = 792.9km of 985 to Tacoma/Seattle

I'll let you know. I should probably work until I can sustain a run for a base amount of time so it would be worth your while. I traditionally suck at endurance, so give me some time, but definitely sometime this spring.

I'll run with two jugs of water as a handicap.

:grumpy: Thanks.

Yesterday, I jumped the gun on my beginner running program: Starting with running 1 minute, walking 2 minutes, repeated 12 times. Holy crap this running thing is hard! :surprised:

My next run is tomorrow. We'll see how my recovery rate is doing.


Total Distance....5681.5 + 3.3 = 5684.8km
Distance to destination....792.9 + 3.3 = 796.2km of 985 to Tacoma/Seattle

Went for a walk with my son...

Total Distance....5684.8 + 8km = 5692.8km
Distance to destination....796.2 + 8 = 804.2km of 985 to Tacoma/Seattle

Total Distance....5692.8 + 8.5 = 5701.3km
Distance to destination....804.2 + 8.5 = 812.7km of 985 to Tacoma/Seattle

Congrats, Baraka! You'll be amazed at how fast you get better.

Heh, thanks. I'm feeling really good about it. It's the kind of hard work I respond well to, and I'm sure it will be a progress more rewarding than anything else I've experienced. Leg-pressing a full rack on a universal is cool, but what else is it good for?

We should go trailrunning this summer.

x2. If you told me I'd be running 5 miles every other day in 3 months time, I wouldn't have believed you. Now it's something I kinda look forward to. You're doing it right. Just hang in there, and before long, you'll wonder why you're spending the time walking when you could be running!

Thanks. The support is encouraging.
