Goal weight: 195 lbs.
The closer we get to the summer equinox, the earlier the sun rises. I hit the road at 5 a.m. this morning and there was already a hint of pink off on the eastern horizon. Honestly, I started kind of late and knew I couldn’t get in a full run. But my legs felt strong and the cool weather gave me energy I haven’t had in a couple of weeks. I ran .5 mph faster than normal today and got in a strong 4.5-mile run today. My lungs felt good. My legs felt better and my soul felt great. Particularly when I saw the sun starting to peek its face over the trees. The once-Super moon couldn’t battle back the sun today. By the time I got back to the house, the eastern sky was ablaze. A glorious start to a glorious day.
My new goal is to do 1,500 pushups and sit-ups over the next 30 days. Unless my math is totally off, that’s 50 of each per day. I’ll keep count here on the blog. When I get through with this challenge, I’ll up the number. And then rinse and repeat. I will be interested to see how that affects my overall fitness.

You are making me hurt. But the picture is pretty!
