Day 2

Did you know that approximately 5.3 million people in the USA suffer from Alzheimer's Disease? It is a disease that deteriorates the brain tissue and causes individuals memory loss and loss of motor skills.

My second day of getting back in shape started with another long day at work, arriving home at 7:30 pm, but once again I was out the door within 15 minutes. So far this plan of making running part of my daily routine again has been working out (don't think about it, just do it!). I ran another 40 minute run, this time a little more up beat. I ran an out an back, which I am not too fond of, I prefer to run a giant loop. One thing that I forgot about is the amount of bugs your face will run into while doing a dusk run through a wooded area, that was tasty. Does anyone ever find themselves slowing up as they approach the end of there timed out and back run? I always have to fight the urge, part of me says, "Slow up so you don't have to run as far dummy." Then the other side reminds me, "Never hold anything back, save nothing for the return journey." Of course I end up somewhere in the middle usually, but at least it's better than stopping and walking.

So after my run when I walk in the door, I proceed to do start cooking my dinner while doing sit-ups and push-ups as my dinner cooks. I try to eat healthy, but I do not over concern myself with counting calories and fat content, I just use my best judgement. I listen to my White Sox blow another game on the radio, say good night to my fiance, and fall asleep waiting for the next day.
