Default March is going to be my month to break through

I've been poking along for the past couple months, doing good, but not
putting alot of effort to it all. Missing workouts here and there,
overindulging here and there. I gain a little, then lose it, but I keep
settling back to the same weight. I only want to lose 3 more lbs, and it
seems like those last few are just a bugger. With spring coming, and
hopefully nice weather just around the corner, I've decided to make March my
month of super efforts. I'm going to really double up on the effort -
making sure my workouts are consistant and my eating within a good range.
No more fiddle farting around!

I just figured if I put it down here, I would be more accountable...

Are you still running?

I've got a shuttle run, a 100 yard dash, and a 5k coming up--and a bike
race late this year. These events are really keeping me
focused--especially since I bombed (choked!) in the broad jump
competition. I find I really hate looking like a newbie idiot in front
of a lot of people--folks who are about as fit as I am--so I'm really
concentrating on doing well, for myself and my team.

Hang in there!

Yep, still running. I'm finding the progress slow but steady. I just got
back from a 5.5 mile run, and am averaging just under 11 minute miles. The
problem is, all of my running has been on the darned treadmill, and I know
that running in the "real world" is going to be completely different. The
weather has been so bad lately, I just don't have it in me to run in 35
degrees and rain. And until the weather improves some, I don't feel like
taking my toddler out with the jogging stroller either. So I have been
relegated to running on the hamster wheel...

My next event is the Shamrock run in 2 weeks...

Oh, I hear ya. I've been doing the 5k setting on the dreadmill for
training, and snowshoeing with the dogs for my outdoor workout. I'd
rather not risk an injury, so I stick with what's safe. When the snow
and ice recedes I'll go back to running outside.

I'm with you. Just signed up for the St. Paddy's Pacer 5k run sponsored by
Gazelle Sports here. First 5k I've ever signed up for (and won't be the
last). Starting to seriously train for the Macatawa Triathalon this July,
hope to get the running part down by the end of the month... Then on to the
swimming and biking portion...

No more farting around for me either...

Training for an athletic event forces you to focus. As I wrote on my
blog:

Well, the "How to eat" post came up during the hike, and afterwards
during the post-hike breakfast. During the meal Dan suggested I was
learning to ride a bicycle to lose weight. I said, perhaps too
arrogantly, "I don't need a bike to lose weight. The average person
doesn't need it to lose weight."

And then the truth hit me. Hard.

I'm not an average person. The average person doesn't need to take up
bicycling to lose weight. They take it up because it's a fun sport.
And as a sport, the more seriously they take it, the more they get out
of it. If that means they fine-tune their diet and exercise to better
improve their performance, so be it. That's what they do....Yes, the
average person could do that and lose weight. A lot of weight, in
fact. But I'm not now an average person. I'm a bicyclist. OK, perhaps
a budding bicyclist recovering from obesity, but a bicyclist
regardless. Which in turn means I'm an athlete. I'm in training for a
sporting event, and I need to think differently about how I exercise,
how I eat, how I train.

When I began to lose weight, I needed to learn to stop thinking and
acting like a fat man and start thinking and acting like an average
person of normal weight. That's been a struggle, perhaps even more of
a struggle than losing weight, and it's a struggle I'm still fighting.
Learning to ride my bike, and ride it well, is also going to be a
struggle, but I suspect it's going to be a lot easier once I accept
that I am an athlete in training.
