Time to get a Training Plan?

I guess if I want to run a 5K or better I guess I should follow a training plan. I am somewhat of a free spirit who has enought structure in my daily life. I picked up running to relieve the daily stresses. I have been reading some great Sweat365 blogs and the accomplishment and goals of these folks. It is encouraging. OK time for me to step up and start that plan. Thanks for reading. I’m still new at this blogging posting thingy.

Weekend workout -Saturday and Sunday

Weather 28 degrees. It feels like I have a touch of the flu. I tried to do a warm up run before my inline game tonight. About 1/2 way through my head started. to throb. I had to stop and mainly walk the rest of the way. I wasn’t overheated or sweaty but it drained all my energy. Hey runners has this ever happened to you?

Lunch Time Run and run….

This was supposed to be a day off from running but the temp was 62 degrees and I work in a new town. I was only going to run about 1/2 hour but I thought the route I was on would loop but it didn’t so I kept going like Forest Gump and got lost so I had to double back. Oh well, the good thing is I missed a boring meeting.

Fitness Assessment Results - Level Set for 2008

Today at the Fitness Center at work I did a fitness assessment with the Staff.  Body Fat% = 17.9% [Lean Weight 170.5 lbs Bodyfat 37 lbs].  BMI is wicked high chartwise but that’s not a great indicator of overall health.  Resting HR 60 BPM after 3-minute step test 82 BPM.  Push up and curl up test very good and sit-reach hip flexion good.    So,  I’m not to gooey but there’s always room for improvement.  Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.  I’ll view other Sweat 365 blogs not as a competetion but as a source for tips, inspiration.
