Journey of a 1001 steps

So...it's been at least a year and a half since my last entry.  I guess I've been a little too preoccupied with fat loss challenges elsewhere. I did not get as lean as I hoped for, but getting there. I'm at about 27% body fat from 30+. Now down to a size 38 waist size (from 44 when I started all this) and I've changed a lot of my habits for the better.

Since I've been trying to concentrate more on karate than running, I haven't signed up for any races really. I did walk a 1 miler with my 2 daughters (6 and 9) and my wife this past weekend

So I got back on the workout plan last night. Felt good to finish, even though I didn't complete the workout until 1am!! Strength training I felt right away, so I guess I did it right. 2.5 mile run in 34 minutes. Not bad considering how bad I ate over the holiday. To meet my goal of an average 13 minutes/mile, I need to finish in under 42 minutes. I will do it!

Need to make sure I get my sleep for the 5k on Sunday. Probably do two or three more days of workout and then rest f...
