Starting week six (second week with the run/walk intervals), and I am feeling better now. 10 rounds this time. #garmin #houstonrunning #runfstboyrun #almost50 #beenadtruggle

Another interval run. Feeling good. This might actually help get me where I want to be. 8 rounds this time…. #garmin #running #run #houstonrunning #almost50 #runfatboyrun

My #almost50 self decided to step back and do some light interval work to build myself back up. 1:00 - Run/2:00 - Rest x 6. Felt good too, and with 4:45 hours of sleep no less. #run #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun #garmin

1.5 miles for today. Ran it all. Still felt terrible. My #garmin watch said I am “Peaking”….WHAT? I told my wife that I think it misspelled “DYING”…she said I shouldn’t say that…. #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun #almost50 #suffering

Another day at it. Performance activity was kind to me (+4), but I need to get more than 5 and a half hours of sleep. Why do I do this to myself? #garmin #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun #almost50

Two mikes ran this morning. Slow as molasses, but completed. Trying to figure out breathing… #running #run #garmin #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun

Four miles, no stopping! I’m beginning to think that six miles is a real thing! I almost can’t believe it. #garmin #garminrunning #houstonrunning #running #runfatboyrun

3.5 miles without stopping. Working my way to 6 miles, if I can keep it up. #garmin #garminrunning #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun

Two 5K’s ran this week! I slowed it down a little today. I think I’ll do one more week like this and move up to 3.5 miles! Feeling good! #garmin #garminrunning #houstonrunning #running #runfatboyrun

Got a 5K in. Hope the time will improve as I continue on. #garmin #garminrunning #houstonrunning #running

Cold morning run. Keeping it going!!!! #garmin #garminrunning #running #houstonrunning

Back the three!!!! Gotta keep it going. #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun

Next week…back at 3 miles! #running #houstonrunning #runfatboyrun

My run schedule changed due to work. I can’t go early morning and now have to go in the evening. I was tired due to work, but still went. Glad I did. Gotta keep it up. 3 miles next week! #running #houstonrunning

This was six years ago today. It was the most I have ever ran. I pretty much stopped, for whatever reason, after this. I feel like I will never get back to this. I’m going to try. In two weeks I’ll be back at three miles!!! #running #houstonrunning

If all goes well, I’ll be at three miles on Thanksgiving week. #running #houstonrunning

Trying to make my way back to a consistent three miles. Feeling ok. #running #houstonrunning
