Today was a mixed emotion day. I ran over to the gym at lunch for my strength training and just had a terrible workout. Even though some exercises went up in weight I suffered mentally in the gym and lacked energy and was just generally not motivated. I still got it done but I sure hope tomorrow's strength workout goes better. On a better note my first run "in training" was just fantastic. I felt like a million bucks through the entire run and the additional weight loss and added strength training over the last month is a big reason for it.
Run: 3 miles
Time: 31:21
Pace: 10:27
Nice easy pace that felt strong the entire way. My nutrition will stay the same as I would like to drop another 15 to 20 pounds.
On a personal note for the last several weeks I've been looking to buy a car. One of my favorite cars the Ford Mustang. I looked at Cobras, Saleens, Rousch, and GT packaged Mustangs over the last few weeks. Monday I finally purchased one...
My daughter named her "cherry". Yes, she is what I like to call "Arrest Me Red"!:) She is a 2002 Mustang GT Premium. It has all the factory options. It also has some very good performance modifications. For those car nuts here's a short rundown of some of the performance parts. Flowmaster 40 series American Thunder exhaust, BBK Cold Air Intake, C&L Intake Plenum, Steeda Timing Adjuster, and a performance chip to name a few. The previous owner really took good care of this vehicle as it looks new inside and out. I will be adding more goodies and it will also take a trip down to Anderson for a ride on a dyno. I want to get a good benchmark before I start to add in the horsepower department. Should be fun!
As I mentioned in an earlier post I'm partnering with my father-in-law in a video editing business. We can convert VHS to DVD as well as create full movies of those treasured family videos. We also take your photos of those treasured moments and turn them into jazzed up photo slide shows. I'm still working on the website but check it out at Fleeting Moments Video!
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday morning! - Jason

JMom -I have a new blog address!
Hi there,
I am acting on behalf of Sylvester Stein: an 87-year old master athlete still competing. I always enjoy reading your blog, even if you're a fair bit younger than Sylvester, who I usually work with! I was wondering if you'd mind linking back to our blog, "Born on Christmas Day" (http://www.pponline.co.uk/blog). He’s quite new to all this online running community, but would like to feel more involved!
Sylvester also founded the PeakPeformance (pponline.co.uk) website, which has a strong tie with your own fitness and health interests. Do get back to me.
Best,
James
Nice ride! Looks like mine except mine is not a GT and is a 2000 I believe. Good choice!!
hey, why run anymore when you can drive that around all the time? (seriously) :)
