Month 2 Day 16 - A Goal

This whole project is a large goal, but I've decided to set a shorter term goal. I'm going to jog in the Roann Covered Bridge Festival 5K on Sept. 11.

I haven't run (or jogged) in a race for over 20 years. Since it's 5K it will only be 3.1 miles, but it will be a long distance for me. I've been up to just under 2 miles so far, so the goal will challenge me to stretch the distance over the next three weeks.

Tonight I did run just over 2 miles and I walked about 1/2 mile before I started running: that is the first longer distance challenge.

Here's today's journal:
Weight: 233.6 (down 1.4 from yesterday)
Breakfast: three fried eggs, five slices of bacon
Dinner: cottage cheese and tomatoes, two weight watchers string cheese and three strips of bacon
Snack: almonds (about a fistful)
Supper: chicken, cottage cheese, tomatoes
