Hey Everyone!!!
I hope that everyone is doing well. I just got done with Spring Break. It was very uneventful. I chilled in St. Louis for the weekend and then came back to Springfield. I didn't really do too much here. All I really did was work on cutting out some hats for my brother.
I just wanted to share something that I found out this week. I went to the doctor, just for a physical, and discovered one of the "hidden" benefits of my new healthy life journey. I have a very healthy heart. To start off, my blood pressure has lowered. Just last year it was 120/80 but now it is 115/76. Also, my resting heart rate was in the upper 90's lower 100's and now it is clocked at 67 bpm. I guess I have that "athletes" heart rate.
Seeing this internal change has increased my motivation to do better. I have decided to go ahead and kick it up a notch. This week I will start running. I really want to do a half marathon in November and I think if I start now, I will be ready. I will start off slow and work on my endurance. I hope to start working on pace during the summer but we will see.
Till another day....
