I CAN do it

I am : TRIALS

Well, for the first time in the history of me going to visit my parents, I am, after one day, on track to maintaining my fitness/exercise goals. Last night, even after a day spent in various airports, I willed myself to run. And I ran pretty well. 6.5 miles in 44 minutes. That's approaching the speed I was at when I played soccer in high school, so its all very exciting. At dinner my parents asked what I've been doing (they managed to notice the 25 pounds I've lost). I told them that's probably not a conversation that they'll want to have with me, as it'll be mostly one sided, and I'll be infinitely more excited about the subject matter than they will. My mom persisted, and my prognostications proved correct. Mostly it just devolved into a simple question and answer session about various aspects of my life (diet, exercise, lifts...). My dad has been trying to get fit ever since his diabetes scare so he seemed genuinely interested in what I have to say. Nevertheless, I joined the "Health Habit", if only for a week. The only gym that I've ever found that offers week passes. So clutch. For whatever reason the "enter" keys don't work on this, my parent's keyboard so sorry for the format change.
