Update September 21, 2007

Well, August came and went pretty damn quick and i didn't quite hit my target weight of 260. But as of September 20th, 2007 I am sitting at 266lbs, so 6 lbs off isn't so bad.

This is the big weekend coming up. It's the CN Tracks of glory 10KM run. I've been asked a few times what my goals are for the run. Quite simply, to cross the finish line. I will use the time on this run to benchmark my long distance running from now on. I'm super anxious about this one. This run is to cement the fact that I did the run, and to show that all the work I've been doing is worth it.

Now to get here, I've been doing some hardcore running training and have been operating with a few injuries, mostly in the knees. Apparently they don't like heavy weight being pounded on them....who knew?

My usual routine these days is at the gym at 6AM mon-fri for strength training and light cardio, Tuesdays are hill repeats at garbage hill, Thursdays are half mile tempo runs at the park, and Sunday mornings are the 10-15KM long runs from Misery down Wellington cres to the duckpond in the park and back.

Anywho, I'll post again Monday and have pics up from the run on Sunday morning!
