Workout 11/8/11: 4 x 400m

Progress people, progress! That's what this is all about. Every step has a purpose. Whether it's a step outside to go for a run. Or a step to open a book you've always wanted to read but never had time for. Or a step toward resolving an issue in a relationship. It's all about progress.

And what am I progressing toward? Many things. But here we are following my progress toward a weight goal and fitness goal. So progress today was stringing together days of physical activity. And a streak has started...2 days in a row of exercise.

Workout: 4x400m

199.5#...Closing in on 200!

I welcome myself back to having purpose in every step. For those of you who check this blog, sorry! This is my fourth time re-committing myself to recording things on this blog. We'll see how it goes this time. But a milestone is upon me...weighing nearly 200 lbs., and I do not want to reach this milestone. So I'm back to having purpose in every step by way of fitness. Other areas of my life show purpose in every step, but my health has started to get away from me. So today I recommitted. So here it is.
