CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO CONDITIONING

I know I have mentioned it before, but I also stretch every weekday morning for 5-10 minutes. I also hit a similar session at night sometimes. Again, it's based on what ails me. That little bit of work is starting to add up. I didn't note it with days down below because I can't say with certainty what days I actually did what. I figured if I just put anything down it would be lying. Now I might lie about the size of my -- um biceps, sure, we'll go with that, but I don't lie about my training.

As you'll notice each day below is the same. It does not need to be exotic to be effective. This has been a slow learning process, but I hope to hang on to it. It's like the great Nike slogan "Just do it." Well, I'm just doing my running. I'm not sure it can even be called running. I only set the treadmill to 4.1. It's really just over a walk. That said, I'm in it for the long haul. It's kind of like my bodyweight.

It's taken me almost seven years to take off close to 100 lbs and that's ok with me. So if it takes me a few years to run a 6 minute mile I"m cool with it (that's a pretty arbitrary number that I came up with because I have seen both Harry Selkow and Jim Wendler put it out there as a standard). I just want to be able to maintain a run at a good pace. To think I have been a crazy asthmatic all my life. Now I don't take a single medicine for it. That's a good way to measure progress.
