Fishing with Jacks
1 month ago
We set out yesterday morning to spend some guy time at the river. Jacks showed his excitement when he came bouncing out of his room fully dressed at 6:30. The car was packed and we were on the road by 6:40 to head to the bait store and meet the fish when they woke up.
We ate our man’s breakfast of powdered donuts, beef jerky and some smoked sausage as we drove to the fishing hole. It was 70 degrees and there was a good cool breeze coming off the river when we put our lines in the water. Something told me it was going to be a good day when Jackson’s line was struck before he could even sit down to be comfortable.
Three hours, four catfish, one bass, one perch and one giant carp later, we headed back to tell our tales to the ladies at home.
It was a good day. We can’t wait to head back…
Status on marathon training
2 months ago
I bought new shoes today. I was running with the Gel Kayano 13 size 10.5, but I bought size 11 today. I’m not sure if my foot’s growing or if I’ve changed my running style, but I’ve been getting too much pressure in my toes after mile 3.
Yesterday I ran 3 miles in the morning followed by an insane personal trainer appointment. Charlie had my heart rate between 160 and 187 without any aerobic activity for 40 minutes straight. We did 6 sets of exercises that combined up to seven different muscle groups and stretches. I’ve made significant progress since my first visit to Charlie and it has significantly improved my stamina, flexibility and muscle tone. My bodyfat dropped 7% while my weight only dropped 4% these past two months.
More to come with two workouts a week…
Tomorrow, I run 5mi at an easy pace. We’ll see if I can stay patient and not push the pace… My heart feels good. My lungs feel great. My core is getting stronger. My right shin is still weak, though. Hoping the new shoes help…
