11:36:00 PM - New look

and a new personal best 5K time: 23"43'. Keisha and I are competing to get back into shape and lose some weight. We're going to be motivating each other, and cross posting on Sundays. She's trying to lose 36, and I'm trying to shed 30. I'd like to drop from 225 to 195. I'm not sure if that's really possible with my build, but I'm going to give it the old college try. The last time I was below 200 was my sophomore year in college. Most of the weight I want to lose is right around my gut.

I just hope she doesn't quit once she realizes that she doesn't stand a chance at beating me. I would rather see her take it as motivation.

My other goal is to improve my running: speed and endurance. I'm currently focusing on the 5k, but will soon move to the 10k as I'm running my first one on August 31st, The Human Race (get it?). I set my personal record time today, but I'm not sure if I want to focus on continuing to lower it over that distance, or focus on longer distance with a slightly slower pace.

12:24:00 PM - North Texas Komen Race for the Cure Last weekend I ran in the Race for the Cure over in Plano. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't do quite as well as I would have liked. I finished 295 & 296 out of 484. Why 2 places? Well, I had 2 chips on. One I purchased the day before the race and didn't think it was activated, and the other was provided on site. 30 minutes is a little slower than I hoped, but I guess I'm not as young or in as good of shape as I would like. I'm still a long way from running marathons, but getting closer!
