D147 - Addicted

New water bottles, changed the eating habits, running gear, buying magazines, looking at a new pair pf kicks (sneakers), listing out all the 5Ks in the area, connecting with a running group, and looking for tips to improve my time.All of this after one run, can you imagine how I will be after the next 3 runs? Look out world here comes Runner B.

Enjoy,

Ja mata, Brian

D141 - Run Completed

The 5k has been completed, and looks like the universal racing sign of a completed run is a bib with some safety pins in it. The race went well with over 900 people who participated. Once cool thing about the race was finally being able to run and have people holding water cups for you to grab as you passed. I have always wanted to do that now realized it's not as graceful as it seems on TV. In the end, I crossed the finish line at 33:40. There are 4 more 5Ks, so I would like to eventually get that number down to 25:30ish, but all in due time. For the rest of the night I will just relax for now and plan out my training.

Enjoy

D140 - 5k

In a few short hours I will get my run in. I hope the number does not reflect the minutes it will take to finish the race. Onward

D139 - What moves you

Just as important as the conditioning, having the right gear, and being on the right diet, is having the right playlist to run to. With a short run coming up I am getting my music together to get me through the 5K. For me, what is funny is I'm having a tough time organizing my list because I want to listen to so much but will only be running for about an hour. Or it will be tougher than on the treadmill and I will be there running for a lot longer. Hopefully I don't 'Last Place The Olympics' during this run, which is training for a whole year to show up at the Olympics and come in last place. You could do less training and still come in last place, with a even less impressive time of course. One day and counting.

Onward.

D138 - Run!

Coming to a street near you, some guy running for no apparent reason, with no actual destination planned out. No, this isn't Forrest Gump, he had Red Nikes and I'm rocking Asics. Also I am not running across the country...yet, still have a month to go before that happens. This is just steps in another journey.

Laced up and ready to move towards my runners high.

Enjoy.

D28 - Journey of 1000 miles...

After some major motivation from the WorkOut Album from Stic of Dead Prez, tonight's images is the product of a Runner's High. What is most impressive about this album is that it is 100% about motivation towards getting fit, eating right, and living a better life for you and your family. No negativity and no cursing, but everything to get you back on your regiment, what ever it might be.

The setup is one light at the camera right and used the timer to capture some images of running. It's funny how many people get curious while driving by and decide to stop, ask questions, or take photos themselves. Fun time, but a little cold.

Enjoy.
