.47 miles

In 9 mins with a 20 minute mile pace.

Did you even start sweating? That is almost below walking pace

You've never run hills or stairs before huh? We've got one hill out here nicknamed "Hell Hill" off Benbrook damn that'll have you wanting to puke after running up twice.

Flexin, I use MapMyRun for the iPhone and love it. It chimes in every mile to let you know whats up...

lol Bastard. The app didn't stop so that last 1:44 was spent in the trunk putting my mp3 player and headphones away. I was running up hill, then walking down, then turning around to run back up again. Then I did walk around before decided to go for a jog, then changed my mine since I have allergies and was running in fresh cut grass. But I do get into a sprint on the way back to the car.

This was after 11 hours at work, 1 hour and 11 minutes in the gym then a 10 minute drive to the hill. I was happy to be about to do it all all.

I have Endomondo Pro on my BlackBerry. My sisters use Endomondo on their iphones. It surprised me the first time it announced the 1 mile mark.

Here is the hill. It was a 50-70 ft climb depending on where I turned around.

It really is...and it's worse if you are "eating out."

I've been focused on nutrition education and execution for only a month or so....and wish like HELL I'd have made that step ONE. That I had started with educating myself about effective nutrition...and THEN started working out. As it is, I did it backwards....lost 20+ pounds....but still didn't look or feel "right"....and THEN got smarter about nutrition.

It's all coming together now though...just takes time...and dedication.

Our fundamental beliefs on why we get fat are likely very wrong. Here are some good resources. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions, but don't assume the status quo (eat your whole grains, avoid egg yolks) is correct.

"Fathead" is a rebuttal to "Supersize Me", is entertaining and provides gobs of good information. The first half of the movie details how we got bamboozled, the second half goes into what we should be eating as humans.

This is a presentation given by a researcher for the Stanford School of Medicine who set out to prove a plant based diet was the healthiest. The results of his trails were not what he expected....

"Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes makes a good effort at destroying the bullshit we've been fed for the past 30-40 years by meticulously examining the research behind it.

The longer I do it, the better I feel and the more research I read the more confidence I have in it.

I was going to ask you if you read Mark Sisson (Mark's Daily Apple).

I want to like him and I think I do. But, he's also the guy at the end of each P90x workout hawking their products.

He does say on his site that he is no longer affiliated with them and does a good job of not talking trash about the program or Tony but I wonder if he "just" discovered the paleo way of life or if he is just following the latest trend / source of revenue.
