Three for three with the training regimen. Finished my two miles at the high school track in 17:15. For the second straight night, my breathing is improving. Hopefully, I will get my legs underneath me soon. I met an unwelcome friend right after Turn 3 of each of my laps around the track tonight. With the sun setting, a perfect shadow of my large gut was visible along my right hand side. It was very humbling and served as a nice reminder that I have a very very long journey ahead of me. My ultimate goal for the year will be to lose fifty pounds and run a marathon. The good thing about seeing my large gut in the shadow is that I decided to skip my nightly bowl of ice cream. By the end of the week, I will come up with a list of my seven or eight favorite junk foods that I need to give up. Ice cream will certainly be high on the list. On a real positive note, my eight-year old son, Andrew, joined me and made it through the first mile. I certainly couldn’t finish that distance at that age!
