5 days off

I did my long run on the treadmill at work yesterday.  I was able to get in 8.26 miles which burned 1407 calories.  It took me 1 hour and 47 minutes for the walk/run but a Super running guru Jeff Galloway say, "not only running but time on your feet counts towards your long run", he was referring to the walking portion of the workout.  My endurance is getting a little better which includes my muscles and my breathing.  I still need to hit my inhaler a couple of times during my workouts.  I am back on all of my meds., which sucks, but I have to breathe.  I am still at 218 lbs. and will try and keep at least that into the new year.  Man, that has been hard to do.  I took the day off which gives my a 5 dayer.  I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 9.  12 hours of sleep is wonderful.  I feel more rested but my body is letting me know that I am working out at a level that it doesn't like.  I will win this battle of the bulge and take my level of fitness to the level it was in 1997 when I finished St. George Marathon in 3:51:07 hours.  I will do this because I have to and because I have people keeping me on track.  WORKOUT:  JUST DO SOMETHING!
