It is day two of my 20 mile challenge. I challenged my self to running 20 miles a week for the first two weeks in August.

Today, it rained, but that didn't stop my dedication to completing this goal. The 4 mile run was hard despite not being under the blistering heat of the sun. I wore an extra jacket to sheild my walkman from the rain, but it proved to be a heat insulator and I may have lost a couple of extra pounds of sweat during the run.

Since I ran 4 miles on Sunday and 4 miles today, I only have 12 more miles to go this week and my goal of 20 miles will be complete. My plan is to run on Tuesday, rest wedensday, get it thursday and friday for another 4 miles each day.

The picture is my two week picture that I promised at the begining of the Workout Challenge. This is fresh after I peeled my shirt from my back and rung out the sweat on the sidewalk. It was crazy.

I think you will notice some slight definition begining to peak from under the fat that has been protecting it for the last couple of years. Again, it may not look like much yet, but I FEEL SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

Everything is getting tighter and those love handles are quickly melting away. Next, I believe the pudge in my belly will disappear, then my sit ups will begin to reflect the work that I have been putting in.

My promise to do sit ups and push ups during this 20 mile challenge has been falling short thus far. I didn't do any yesterday and today it is not looking good. LOL! But, we will see. The day is far from being over.

Overall:

I feel that I am progressing in the right direction. I know this competition has a bunch of people involved, but honestly, if I do what I am capable of doing, there is no real competition, but the BAR!

I feel good and the obvious signs of progress are coming!

THE BAR!
