OctoberWell … lots going on this month. I have a 5k on the 19th that Fran talked me into (Less than 2 weeks!). The following Sunday will be my first 5 miler. The grand opening of the gym that I joined is on the 17th but I think that’s a bit late to glean any benefit for this month’s races.

So I think that I’ll need to get a MINIMUM of 4 runs in before this next race. The race course terrain is hilly so that’s something that I have to keep in the back of my mind.

Tomorrow we are going to hit the pavement after work. I want to ….. OK look.

Here’s how it is. I haven’t exercised. I haven’t run. My weight has plateaued. I run these races out of an obligation to my goal, not because I necessarily want to. All of this wishy washy wavering SUCKS. I thought about killing DownBroadStreet.Com a number of times over the last month or so but I haven’t. I made promises to people and a commitment to myself.

I can’t get much lower in this barrel so I’m just have to climb out of it. Either that or convert my blog theme to “Fattening eateries of Southeastern PA and South Jersey”. This is quite a journey of self discovery. Well, not really. I know who I am but I’m finding out how hard it is to break old habits and embrace healthy living.

It’s not over …. yet.
