I just felt like running.

So last night I ran more than I have in a few years.   I know, running ten feet would have been more, but I ran a mile last night on the treadmill. I will not tell you my time, that doesn't matter.  What matters is that I was running.  It felt good, not great, but good. I think only once in my entire life have I felt that runners high everyone talks about.  Maybe I will reach that point again.

   It relieved some stress after a draining day at work and a mentally tough evening.  For the first time since my Dad passed away in 2009, I picked up the phone and started dialing his number to call him.  I wanted to tell him about the day, and what else is going on in my life.   It sucked to realize I couldn't,   Beyond that, I am doing what I feel I need to do so I can lose some weight and make myself a little healthier.   Again, I thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy reading these post.   It's fun to write them.

On a lighter note, the woman at the gym on the treadmill next to mine totally fell last night.   To be fair it wasn't her fault.   Some asshole woman before her got off the treadmill and apparently didn't stop the belt, just walked away and left it running.   I didn't notice it, if I had i would have stopped it myself.   Anyways the lady stepped on a moving treadmill, not realizing it and wham! down she goes. She was ok, she laughed about it and continued her workout.   Thank god it didn't happen to me.

Gold Bond is my friend.

Welcome back friendly followers of Husky Runner.  A few quick updates.   I have been to the gym 8 straight days.   I am a little over a third of the way towards my goal of 3 weeks straight at the gym.  I can tell my cardio strength is coming back surely but slowly.  Finally, Gold Bond is my friend.  Walking and jogging, not running, because if I were being chased by somethings I would be caught for sure, take a hell of a toll on my fat thighs. But the cool medicated relief of Gold Bond is like a cold beer on a hot day for my thighs.   I know, TMI but it's true.
It's all working.  I can feel it, can't see it but that will come.  Thanks again for reading and supporting me.

Pants on the ground! Looking like a fool..

Quick update, my pants keep sagging today.   They weren't last week, but they are this week.   I have my belt to the tightest loop, so the only thing I can think is that my workouts and the better eating have been working a little.   I hope that is the case.   I think I will be sitting at my desk a lot today, so I don't have this happen to me. Good stuff.  I have been to the gym 5 consecutive days, which is a record for me.   My initial goal is to make it 3 weeks straight, to make it part of my daily routine, so I stick with it.  So far so good.   I am also not weighing myself regularly because that has always discouraged me if I am not losing enough fast enough.   I am going to go on how I feel rather than how much I weigh this time.   - Husky Runner

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!! HUSKY RUNNER HAS RETURNED

After a 2 year break from really doing nothing, I have decided to retire being fat and lazy.   So many things have happened in the past few years, including me gaining a bunch of weight, which is no good.   I think I have to get back to what helped me stay on course before, this blog, and your support from reading this blog.

I am happy to announce that I actually jogged a little bit on the treadmill last night at the gym.   I wasn't planning on it, but as I was doing my workout and increasing the intensity, I felt it was the natural thing to do.  Don't get me wrong, it didn't last long until I had to slow back to a walk but it is a start.

I will keep this short, but I have to get back to my original goal.  I want to be there for my kids...  yes, that is correct,  kids.   If you haven't already seen the multiple FB posts, wife and I are expecting a boy in July.  YAY!    Oh and if I win the 1.5 Billion Lotto tonight, I am having lipo done tomorrow so this is all for nothing.  :)
