Run, Ben. Run.

3.29

Photo excursion in the mountains. Did some random walking and picture-taking and then hiked up Humpback Rocks and tooks lots of pictures up there (and nearly froze).

Weight - ??? (never got around to it)

3.26

Running on trails near the apartment. Didn’t get as far as usual or as long but it was much hillier and I saw a blue heron on the way (along with various cardinals, misc birds and the sounds of a woodpecker nearby). The run was nice but perhaps a bit too much for me when I would really just like to be able to run 2 miles in one session.

Weight - TBA

3.23

Running about 1.5 miles this morning. Chilly but nice.

Weight - 288.0

3.22

Softball practice for 3 hours around noonish. First sunburn of the season… not too bad. It felt good to be outside that long and doing something fun. First game is thursday night. It will be strange to play a ballgame and not have my mom yelling from the bleachers Love you mom…

Weight - 287.6

3.17

Running indoors. Ran faster than usual to see what my mile time would be. It was hard to judge when to try to push on a treadmill and I ended up only doing it it about 12 minutes. Disappointing to me at least. Rode bike for 10 minutes afterwards. Didn’t pay attention to the distance and the bike shut off (I like my real one better).

3.16

Stationary bike for ~30 minutes at 80rpm. Kept the HR at around 150-160bpm Most of the time. Even made it through 1.5 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I’m going to have to rip a few more discs soon though. I also found someone at work who has Battlestar Galactica on DVD so that’ll help with some bike entertainment.

Weight - 287.6 (mmm… drinking that removes water)

3.15

Rode bike for 1.72 miles and 11 minutes. Haven’t been getting many minutes in on the bike. Still getting used to the transition from stationary bike to real bike with hills, wind, air resistance and hills (yes, it’s in there twice. I hate them). I need to work on the bike pretty badly though. At the moment about 1/3 of my gears are difficult or impossible to get to. It doesn’t help that they are the lower gears that would be really nice to have when I’m on those hills… Not to complain though. It’s still great to be outside.

3.14

Happy Pi Day. I thought about running 3.14 miles today but that just isn’t going to happen.

Upper right arm and shoulder are a bit sore from softball but not too bad. I just want to hit the ball more often

Got on my bike after getting home from work and rode 2.77 miles around the neighborhood. Took about 15 minutes for an average speed of 11.5mph (I love my gadgets!). It wasn’t as good as I thought it may be but there’s a storm coming in and the wind was pushing back on my return trip a lot more than I thought it would. I also need to really get my shifting fixed on my bike. Not having the lower gears makes the hills very tricky to climb.
