Today started off early for me. Bright at early at 5:15 AM... It starts getting light that early. Who would of thought that haha... But yes I have decided that during the week its easier to workout at 5:15 in the AM that in the evening. The gym is nice and cold and there are no (in Jason Moores words MoMo People around). You know the (MoMo People) they are the people that go to the gym for social time. They are the type of person that walk on the treadmills at 1.2 mph while drinking a gateraid... May as well walk and eat a krispy kream! Your putting more sugars/carbs into your body that you are working off at 1.2 mph there MoMo!!  MoMos also venture into the free weight rooms... They are the guys who put all this weight on to bench press but you never see them do it... They put the weight and then continue to talk to anyone in the gym that will listen to them, they then sit down only to stand back up and continue talking... Then when you ask to use the bench they say they are going to do their reps... Sometimes they actually do 1 rep then take the weight off... OR I just take the weight off with out asking... MOMO.... I swear...

BUT this is the AM and only people that are really devoted go in the AM or the old folk go. But they can run circles around people. They have some major energy and its always nice to talk or listen to them. They have some good stories.

This morning was the same its been all week. Nice and cool in the treadmill room. I had 2 miles I had to run today... I use the Walk/Run/Walk/Sprint method. I am actually up to running 2 miles with no problems now. I remember when I first started. I would run not even 20 seconds and my shins would kill, it would feel like they were going to break in half when running for 20 seconds. They hurt so much!

Found out 2 things...
1) out of shape DUHHH
2) I was wearing the wrong shoes! Never knew they made that much of a difference. (don't judge im no runner here) But with the Help of Body N Sole in Champaign I found the correct shoe. Needless to say I had been running in Nike Shox.... Which were size 12R which ment size 12 Regular Width... Well found out I should be wearing 12 4E which is 4 times the with of the regular shoes... WOW what a difference that made.

Running will always be a chore for me, people say it becomes addicting but I do not think so! I am signing up to run Tough Mudder but not until next fall. So I still have PLENTY of time to run and get in better shape for that. If you don't know what touch mudder is:
Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish the event. Only those in reasonably strong physical condition should enter.

Yes I know thats crazy but it give me some more motivation for this weight loss thing and to get in better shape!!!
