Started with my 2 1/2 miles. I had church today, which I was scared of going. I hadn't seen my dad in a while mainly because my mom has been pissed at me for dropping my CDL class. But damn, I'm a grown man. At 32 years old, I don't need my mom telling me how to live my life. I swear, sometimes that woman thinks I'm still a teenager. She herself really needs to grow up.
At church, I told my dad the whole story. He's doing pretty good also, though his chest hurts. He had heart surgery so he's still in the healing process himself. Long way to go, but he's got it down! He wants me to hold off on running. He said I might blow out my knees because of my weight. Yeah that's true, but seriously, I'm not a huge hefty looking guy. Big yeah, but definitely not someone who you would think is 360 lbs. I've seen guys that weigh that much, only 40 lbs away from 400 pounds, these dudes are Huge! They can barely walk, and they've gotta have atleast 80 inch waists. My waist size is a solid 46 inches. Ten inches bigger than it was in high school, though in the summer of 2000 (my most memorable summer ever) I was running and dieting heavily so I dropped down to a lean all time low of 167 lbs. My waist size was 32 inches. So yeah, now I'm 46 inches which is bad I'll admit, but not super crazy out of hand bad. It doesn't really match my weight. My legs are lean, so are my arms. I'm strong and swift, especially in walking. The last few years I've been running on and off when I go out on my occasional walk. I wouldn't run too far, but I'd do the whole run walk run walk thing. Now, I'm pretty sure I can still do that but with the new knowledge that I have now about my weight, I'm too damn scared to even try.
We shall see how it goes. I did another 2 1/2 miles this evening. 5 miles total again today, woohoo!
