I’ve realized that since I haven’t given up on running, I really need to put dates (at least years) on these events.
The Bob and Ron’s 5K is the first race in the three race Great Aloha Run Readiness Series. Last year it was a different 5K (the S.A.M.’s 5K) that started it off.
Similar to the event last year, it was a 5K that was basically 1.5 times around Kapi’olani Park, ending at the Honolulu Marathon finish line. This year, however, I’m better trained–and working on speed.
I was hoping to hit a pace of 10:30 on this run. Instead, I crushed that time and finished with an official pace of 9:13; my Garmin said 9:07, which I will use for personal bookkeeping since I use the Garmin’s results for everything.
I’m pretty pleased. And pretty beat.

I’m beat. It’s been a rough week at work and even though I’m only on four days this week I’ve got little left. And I still need to work out. For the first time in months I’m having two classes to teach at night every week and it’s cutting into my training time, just like […]

My weight hasn’t been up consistently, but it’s not going down either. On the other hand, my body fat has been going down a bit. I want both to go down. My body weight was up markedly today–an anomaly to be sure, but anomalies are recorded–to 184.4 pounds, the most by far since I started […]

I’m tired, but I have to keep going. Since starting up a second class I’m teaching (there weren’t enough students for me to do two a week for awhile), I’m left with less time to train. Fortunately, since the marathon is over, I’m more into doing two workouts in a day when I’m off–both cycling […]

My next race is this Sunday at the Bob and Ron’s 5K, which this year is the first race in the three race Great Aloha Run Readiness Series. My goal is to be faster than I was last year. Last year I did the SAM’s 5K (technically it was in December of 2009) at a […]

I’m trying to change things, hopefully for the better. Despite all of my accomplishments in 2010, there remains lots to work on. My biggest concern right now (beyond my usual concern of my blood sugar) is my body fat. Despite the weight I’ve lost, my body fat hovers near 30%, which is simply unacceptable (as […]

Goal two: Weight down to 165 from 180 (or so). Part of this is to try to win a friendly wager with a coworker, but part of this is because I really believe to get closer to peak performance, I need td lose weight. Yes, weight is not the end all–body fat percentage is more […]

While I still have to change out my bottom bracket, I spent some time replacing the pedals on my bike and the cleats on my shoes. I’m ready. The weather isn’t, but I am. I’m off on Friday, so that’s going to be the next day I ride. I wish I could do it sooner, […]

It’s time to seriously get down to business, at least in terms of some of these fitness goals. I spent a few minutes this long holiday weekend trying to figure out what some of them were. As far as fitness goes, I’ll list one every couple of days and comment (and free feel to comment […]
