45 minutes

As for today's goals: I did drink two 24oz bottles. I did eat breakfast, but I did not remember to take my vitamins. Not bad.

I meant to get up early in the morning to go for a run down the road, but I slept in. My bed felt a lot better than I knew any 45 minute run could ever feel.

I did managed to bring myself to the gym at about 7pm though. The AC inside that big building was a lot better for my body than the humidity would be, I figured it was the way to go. In 45 minutes I went 3.53 miles. Not only that, the first two miles took me 23:20. That is yet another personal goal for myself and it actually feels pretty good-I'm proud of myself. I did not run the whole 45 minutes; I ran the first 23 minutes 20 seconds, then I walked about 10 minutes, ran 10 minutes, and walked about 2 minutes. Not too bad.

Now, the treadmill is very boring so I have to turn my Ipod up so the music is the only thing I can hear (the heavy thud of my 168lb body is not very inspiring). Also, it's not very easy to keep my focus on one unsuspicious place and not on the people around me. No one wants to be caught staring. This concentration became even more difficult as a middle aged man prepared to step onto a treadmill in front of my by stretching-including a stretch down to his toes....

I feel pretty good after today.
