It's been a long time since I kept up this blog, but I think it's time to start back and be consistent with it.
Today my wife Kim and I did an interval sprint run at the beach that a friend of ours came up with. It's just at 3 miles and involves a lot of stairs and hills, all done at a sprint for 13 intervals that leave you gasping.
I'm not much of a runner but 3 miles seems like about right to me, doing it in 40 minutes with 13 sprints and 450 calories burned. Add that to the 25 minutes on my lifecycle to warm up before I left this morning for my dentist appt. and it was a good day.
A buddy of mine on Facebook commented recently when I said that I felt doughy this week. He said if I felt doughy he must be just a ball of flab. I get that a lot. Here's the thing though: I NEVER judge anyone but myself. I go by what I want to achieve and what I am working toward. I push myself and I judge myself based on that, not on what other people are doing or think of me, or on what shape others are in.
I think that's a pretty solid philosophy. The only person we really need to compete with is ourself.

Great work! I HATE running but I suppose I should start to get ready for the zombie apocolypse. And I think it's simply human nature for others to 'compare' their level of fitness to those who are truly living it. I believe that's also why people are so intimidated going to the gym when they're 25-50 lbs overweight. I always think to myself that a) that person whos uber fit started right where I am and b) he's not paying any attention to me so why worry!
