Hey,it's the end of week 2, and I feel good...

Good day all. I am writing early this week because tomorrow is Easter Sunday and I might be traveling to my brother's. It was a busy week but I still was able to go out 4 days this week for my training. I did 13.59 miles in 3:58 hours of training. I always averaged well below 16 minutes per mile so I figured I am at a good pace for my overall training since I have not officially started yet and this is not really pushing myself at all.

I got the FIT newsletter this week. I am anxious to get started with them again. I miss the structure that it gives my life. Today I went on a 6 mile walk with Nancy and Barbara. It is such a treat to walk on the beach and see the dawn approach, as well as the comradaree of walking with them both. We saw some of the people we know on the journey. It is funny might not know their names, but we have speedo guy that is always at the Clipper parking lot, or the fireman going at race pace that we bump into as we leave Sunrise, and then the couple of drunks staggering from the beach. as time goes by and our miles increase I hope to have more stories of the people we meet on this journey.

As I told Nancy today, this is my blog;so I can make her as nice or as mean as I want to. Just kidding, I hope to be mostly truthful in the information I dissiminate on here. One thing that I neglected to mention before is that one of my goals is to drop some substantial weight during this year. So Barbara, no more Easter candy. I hope that you all will support on thsi, and help me along when you see me eating the wrong things.

I guess I have rambled on. Sorry, I sometimes do that sort of thing. Have a great week and for those of you celebrating....HAPPY EASTER.

Hey Joe. It's Easter, you're allowed to cheat a little. Besides you didn't get that much candy. Seriously, I'm with you and I promise to support you on your journey towards Goofy and to lose the weight. No one can relate to that more than I can. I had fun with you and Nancy this AM and look forward to the summer when I can train with you both.
