Marathon Training day #2

Off, cross-train (XT), or easy run of 30 to 45 minutes.

Run last night was good, felt good, feet were kinna sore first thing this morning, but that wasn't a surprise.

Day #1

Update 23:39
Success!
Although I stayed at work late, went home late, ate late and played diablo late, I still managed to run at 24 hour fitness.
Per the plan, today is 5 x 800, with warm up and cool down. The interval went well, it wasn't easy, but its not suppose to be easy, and also my recovery were probably longer than suggested, oh well, it's a start, I consider a good start!

Success #2, no Ben n Jerry tonight!

I'm proud of myself


I am so efficient in gaining weigh, I can gain weigh so fast that it's unbelievable.

After ironman at the end of June, and a a month of racing in July, i think I started being lazy and gaining weigh at the end of July. As of last night, 9/17/2012, I was 192.x lbs, and 18.6 body fat %. (was about 185 in the 'summer', just 2 months ago)

Anyway, i need to change that, and I am going to train for the Seattle marathon which happens in 10 weeks, and today is training day #1! I am going to follow this training plan from runners' world <http://www.runnersworld.com/charts/hallchart.html>

 today is warm up, 5X800, cool down. doesn't sound too bad.

hopefully it goes smoothly, wish me luck!

Ironman ink

Once again, again and again, I'm gonna start by saying that I haven't written anything for a while!

Anyway, I did it, ironman coeur d'alene 2012 in idalo, was it hard? Heck yeah!! It was long, hard and painful. And was it worth all the pain? Absolutely!

So one of the reasons I wanted to do the ironman is to get the tattoo, and finally, yes finally I got it! I was debating if I want to get it plain or design, red or black, sizes, and all the other good stuff, so I was thinking. I know, you think that I usually don't think right?!

Then after ironman, I was racing for the whole month of july, before heading to Europe for Olympics and vacation, that means more procrastination on the tattoo!

Finally I'm back, and I still didn't do it, yet!

And finally, I got it, last Sunday. It's even a spontaneous decision, too. I bet I would've pushed it off even more if it didn't happen that day.

There you go, plain, red with black outline, normal sized IM logo on the back of my right calf.

Now what's next?
