Call it a fitness sebattical

Yeah, that's the ticket.

I've plateaued with the push-up challenge and have been doing the first day of week five twice a week.

Also, I stopped running when the weather turned cold in late October. I tried to keep it up by running in the morning at the fitness room in my apartment complex. But that entailed getting up at 3am. F-That!

Jesse from work convinced me that running a 5k on May 19th would a good idea. I've got about 8 weeks to redo the couch to 5k program, which is perfect since that's how long the program takes to complete.

So, I lucked out last weekend and earlier in the week and managed to run twice. Then the snow/rain started... I might have to use the fitness room after all. Lame.

In spite of overtime making my re-engagement with fitness more challenging, it has helped me feel better about working the longer hours. Getting more sleep sure does the trick too!

If this entry seems stilted, well... I'm rusty from not writing for months.

Here's to writing weekly *raises imaginary beer to all*
