Looping the Hen

Yuck, more goals!

So far so good; I managed to get through the worst part of the winter in reasonable shape, so it's time to figure out my goals for the next several months. It's horrible, but I think the one day of kick-boxing actually helped; I benched reps at 170 when I normally do them at 153 or so. If it helps my running times as much, I'll definitely have to keep doing it. Blech.

Anyhow, my next stepping stone back to decent times is 24:48, 8:00 minute pace. I don't know why it is, but to me that is the threshold of casual running and competitive. No, it is not 'competitive' per se, but most people over 30 who run an 8 minute pace have put some time and effort into doing so, or are fit from other activities. I doubt I will make that time in my next race (Saturday), but I'll try! My other health goal is to get down to 199. I seem to be losing slowly (read: very slowly), but surely. Even through the holidays, it seems like I am taking off around 1 pound every 10 days or so. So in 7 weeks I should be there!

Okay, now to that HTML!
