So, after we started the afore mentioned Losing Big Sensibly contest at work (copywright free version of Biggest Loser), I decided that to get into shape for basketball and flag football, I'd start running. I figured it would build endurance, burn calories and get me up and moving, which is always good.

The diet started January 14th. Now, I can't remember back that far, but I started running either the next week (21st) or the one after (28th). It really is sorta irrelevant, since I was only doing 20 minutes a day then. This week, I started running 25 minutes, tracking it on beginnertriathlete.com (thank you Memphis) and double checking distances on google maps (I know beginnertriathlete uses google maps, I just like to be unecessarily thorough/redundant).

So, counting only this week, which would include timed, distance tracked running, I am averaging 2.5 miles a day by 4 days a week. Through this morning (at about 6:20am), I had run 7.5 miles over a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. Using my new Monday/Tuesday, Thursday/Friday plan, I should get 10 miles every week. Not too shabby for an old timer. Now, I just have to start tracking my weight on there...

Also, Widespread Panic's new album "Free Somehow" dropped on Tuesday. Once I finish my initial listen, I'll be posting a review. Go pick it up!
