Half of Phil

It's been awhile since I've walked a 5k, so my son and I have signed up for a 5k 12/15.  I've been trying to run the last couple weeks at least twice a week. I have a loop that is just over 5k long, so my goal is to be able to complete that in under 45 minutes before the 5k.  Then hopefully I can definitely come in under 45 min on race day.  This morning I was under 45 min at the 3 mile marker so I'm fairly confident I can make the goal. I don't like the running but I always see the results on the scales when I am faithful to do it more often.  I've noticed with my new tracker that I don't see the drop in steps I was seeing with the Zip in my pocket so that helps keep me motivated. I did a 5 mile walk on Turkey day so that I could be done with steps an do whatever I wanted the rest of the day.  Next committed update: 12/11

So I fell at 9Round on Friday Morning.  Not a stumbled and caught myself on the wall or equipment fell, but a got tripped up trying to a box jump sprawled my fat ass all over the ground fell.  Trainer runs over as sure that I'm near dead from the fall as I thought I was in the back of my mind. But guess what, I was A-Ok and resumed box jumps and finished the work out.  I took some ibuprofen when I got home sure that I'd be sore and hurting by days end. But guess what I wasn't sore at all from the fall.  It's a huge milestone for me, I've lived in fear falling for several years since the last time I fell and could barely walk for a week.  I'm not saying that I could take any fall any time and be A Ok, but it is nice to know I went through one and came out alright.  All the training and exercise I'm sure had a lot to do with it. I've been on a weight loss stall, but with my birthday and halloween in the last few weeks that's no surprise I haven
