Logging in

Well, today at about 10:37 pm, I stood stark naked and gazed at the scale in my bathroom. This is a very personal endeavor for me, the moment in which is defiled if there was anyone else in my presence. An air of intimidation enclosed as I stuck my toe out and tapped the scale's surface to trigger its awakening. I stood on it, waited and gulped.....

Lo and Behold, I am the heaviest I've ever been. I figure since this e-space is going to be based on everything and anything that crosses my mind, what the hell, I'll include my running/weight-loss log. I am a massive 132.4 pounds ( too heavy relative to my small stature of 5"3 and my self-perspective since I am the toughest critic of myself.) I do want to note that this is my weight after the ingestion of an entire day's worth of food.

The happy little consolation I have to myself is that I don't feel diamayed or disheartened. The surge of motivation gives me a sense of pleasure, since this motivation was derived from the fact that I ran 30 minutes today and clocking 3.35 miles. Not too shabby in my opinion, after a week's hiatus from any aerobic activity, trying to nurse my stomach flu. The mystery is in the consistency... Will I persevere? This is the most fundamental question is any subject that requires a commitment isn't it?

The Vancouver Sun Run is scheduled on the 23rd of April. My reserved time, along with Dan's, is 59 to 69 minutes.
My goal: To finish 10k in 60 minutes and still have the most enjoyable exhilaration that accompanies my accomplishment.

Note to self: Try my best to make it fun for Dan, since I persuasively made him participate in this with me and I signed him up and OUR ANNIVERSARY is on the day itself. Ooops.
