Aren't You People Pooping Normally?

I was looking up an article I had read on running making weight loss harder.

Here's what shows up in Google:

First OUTDOOR Miles of 2011

It's tough to get the outdoor runs on the schedule in January around here.  There's snow everywhere.

Luckily, there's a state park nearby where they plow the road around the pond.  It's a nice, even 2.5 mile loop (which keeps the math nice and easy).

I had the ASICS Trabucos out in the snow for the first time Saturday.

They were tremendous.

I was so much more confident of my footing than I would have been in normal running shoes.  I was really able to pound it on the hills.

The downside of Winter Running - It took me a little while to warm up again.  Turkey bacon and egg on wheat.  Second cup of coffee.  Juice.

I felt human again.

First Miles of 2011

Three miles on the treadmill.  415 calories.  Boo-yah.

Then ten minutes on the elliptical.

Legs feel GREAT.

Breathing is just "pretty good"...  A little "post-nasal" action going on.

Year End Numbers

Haven't run a few weeks.  Battling a sinus infection.

BUT...  On a positive note, I finished 2010 with 508 miles.

A 23% improvement over 2009.
