Having fun learning to run

Alright I had a few first this week:

1. My first 2 miler yeah. My wife push me through the whole thing (bless her heart). I felt pretty good throughout but started to lad towards the end.

 2. My 1st bathroom break while running: I always felt that if you have to use the bathroom when running you have been running for too long. lol. Anyway I stop by Carl's jr while running and the break was well needed.

 3. My weigh is now 235. I been using different scales so I decided to use the one at Gold's Gym. Despite being 235 my pants are fitting better than last year when I was 225. I really bulk up over the winter during workouts. I'm trying to shed a little but its not a huge concern. 

I finish the workout with a 30 min workout involving pushup, situps, and other core exercises my wife would gather from her head. Good day.

Did I mention that I did this on only 4 hours of sleep!

I graduated today with my Master's in Mental Health Counseling. I went to spagetti factory and had a HUGE plate of spagetti. YUM YUM. It feels good to have finish a journey that took over 3 years to complete. My wife is awesome. I still stand in awe about how cool she has been as I have ran from work to school to internship for the past year. Now that I'm finished I'm excited about working a day or so a week as a therapist. 

Anyway  .5 warm-up

.75 intervals from light post to light post. A good solid sprint in between quick walking. Lots of fun my type of training.  

My workout today was a "boot camp" style workout with lots of push-ups, sit-ups, air squarts, etc. Lots of fun. Got about .5 in. today will try to increase tomorrow.

After work run today. Wasn't the smartest decision to eat before I went. My pace was steady for the 1st mile. I started feeling a little sick after that but kept it going. It felt good overall. I'm wondering from some of you running experts.  What is the best time to run? Just curious. Going for 2 miles tomorrow pre-dinner. Wish me luck

Hey I'm back. lol. I ran 2 miles with my son today. He was sooo excited to go out. After a mile I was feeling pretty good. We walk about .25 miles to give him a break then finish the last bit with a nice trot. It was fun times. Running with my wife is like running with a caged gazelle. The last 2 weeks I've done alot of cross-training with my wife. The run felt great. Yesterday, My wife won the memorial day 5k run in Spanish Fork with the time of 20:13. I was so proud of her and the gift certificate she won which will help pay for her next set of shoes. Yeah. She won a bag during the drawing as well. As of right now we planned on running the springville nestle fun run together.

Nice run on the treadmill at Gold Gym. I finally got a inhaler for my althetic induced ashtma and it has made a HUGE difference. So this is what its like to run and not faint. lol. Anyway moving along. We try to moved to 3 mile runs in a few weeks. Running without major chest restriction is actually not that bad.
