Hi I'm Ray, last time I failed up my warrior challenge, set back mostly by some shoulder bursitus (sp?) and well I have some distance running to do and figure this would be an awesome place to set up camp. See what I can learn from the long runners. Little about me, I've always been an active sort, I've been actively going to the gym and doing a lot of moving. Unfortunately I've also always been an active eater as well. So just getting the diet to match the work out is always to main part. My Challenges Main Challenge: I want to be able to run a 5k on the treadmill, at 5% incline, in my lunch break at work without making me useless for the remainder of my work day. Lunch break is one hour, usually about 10 minutes each way and a little time for a cool down, so I guess I will try to shoot for a 35 minute 5k run. If I can reach it early I will shoot for the 5k at a higher incline first subbie: research and figure out the best way to help me reach an ideal way to eat healthy to fuel for endurance running, but still eat few enough calories that I can try to quickly lose a bunch of weight to make life easier on my joints. Thinking quinoa, and possibly eye balling fasted cardio/ second subbie: start working my way back into strength building exercises, up to 3 days a week. Shoulder injury sidelined me a little and even though I want to be able to run a marathon I still want to build up some strength because I'm a bro like that. Third subbie: Super mini duoatholon: pretty sure I made that up, but no pool at my gym, so I want to try up a 5 mile run at 5% incline run at the gym then a 20 mile bike ride, and finish it before a movie, Thinking kung pow, or serenity, or whatever else I can get onto my tablet that isn't lord of the rings long (feels like cheating to me) Life goal. Get stuff my YouTube channel. I kind of have I guess you can call it a bit of an entertainer streak, I used to be in a band and I had an excellent outlet to get out some ideas and get that out of me. I've been meaning forever to get some fun content onto a youtube channel that people may enjoy, also try to make some extra little income too would be nice
