Welcome Back to 300 Pounds and Running
Last night my girlfriend was pushing my buttons and I became irritated. I didn’t even argue with her I just went for a run. I left mainly to get out the house but my run ended up being very therapeutic.

Run Check In
I decided to take the momentum from my previous work out and run outside today. The birds were chirping and the bees were buzzing. Wait…. I think I’m dreaming! Finding it weird that I dreamt about running; I get out of the bed, put on my clothes and went for a run.
Big Boys Need Clothes Too!!
When you are greater than 300 pounds there are road blocks that you constantly hit when you trying to lose weight. Finding workout clothes is one of them.
It’s all up hill from here!
I tried to switch it up with today’s run but it came back to bite me in the butt. I ran around my neighborhood because I wanted to see something different. I made a right turn where I usually make a left. Everything seemed to be going good with my run. Pandora was playing the right songs to keep me motivated. I was in the zone until I was thought to myself, “Gee, I’m still running downhill!”
Run Back Home!
I’m back from my mini-vacation in Detroit. I decide to take today’s workout to the treadmill in the club house of my apartment complex. My workout took forever to complete, I could feel myself slowing down on the treadmill my body wanting to stop while my mind telling me to keep going, I’m gasping for air. This is the battle I face every time I run. Eventually I hear “Workout complete!”
Running at the RAC
Today I went to the RAC (Romulus Athletic Center) with my girlfriend’s father. It’s a local recreation center with tons of muscle heads walking around. The track is located above the gym, each lap equals 1/10 mile. As noted in my last entry running on flat land is amazing compared to the hills/mountains of Connecticut. My run started off pretty good then all of a sudden three walkers took up all of the lanes.
