Not So Primal Breakfast

I entered a photo of my breakfast in the Primal Breakfast contest over at Mark's Daily Apple. Unfortunately I didn't win the random drawing, but I'm pretty sure my breakfast (a protein bar and a glass of milk) is among the least primal of those pictured. Oh well.

Wednesday Easy 3 Miles

I ran an easy 3 miles today. I was planning to run on the treadmill but the temperature got up around 37 F and there was a group from the fitness center going outside so I tagged along. Regulars Vicki, Peter, Geoff, Milica all ran and Laura and Scott came along also.

My calves were very sore from Circuits yesterday since one of the group exercises was calf-raises. I must have done close to 200 yesterday (standing on a bar, no extra weight). And since I had not done much exercise in the past couple weeks, I was definitely feeling it.

So I ran at the back of our group with Geoff until we came to the last hill. I worked hard up the hill, caught Petey, and almost caught the others.

Weight (after run) 185 lbs.

Lots of other fitness stuff to report! First, the fitness center had a contest back around the holidays. You had to weigh in before Thanksgiving and again after Christmas. The goal was to not gain weight. I actually lost a pound! Everybody who stayed even was given a T-shirt and those of us who lost weight each won a $10 gift card to Tower City.

Next, my nephew Keith sent me a link last night about a Treadmill Challenge. Twelve running studs from northeast Ohio are trying to break the record for most miles run in 24 hours on a treadmill. Sounds like fun to me.

Finally, I just found out that my other nephew and running buddy Zorlod has a blog! He's just getting started but I'm sure he'll have some cool stuff up there very soon.
