Went for a run today, and I can say that it went pretty well. Im not to where I want to be, but I can tell that I have made strides to get there. It was about 85 degrees with a slight breeze. Good running weather.

Today Saul, Bo and I went for a bike ride. Let me tell you it was awesome. It was along the American River and was nothing but single track and gravel roads. I don’t think that Saul has the best of luck when it comes to bike riding. The last time we went for a ride the chain broke on his bike. This time his back tire went flat, and he flew over his handle bars trying to negotiate a gap. Even though it was a pretty nasty fall it was funny as hell. He was okay though. There were also a couple of dirt jumps that we went off. We all felt like we got major air but in actuality we probably only got a foot of the ground. This was our best ride thus far. I hope that with more time and experience we can do some more difficult trails. This was an awesome trail nonetheless. The distance that we traveled is an assumption. My speedometer was not working so I did not get an accurate mileage. And we spent about 20 min fixing Saul’s flat tire.

Third run this week and I’m still struggling. I’m not going to beat myself up about it because I know I’m not going to give up. There are a couple races in July that I’d love participate in, but I know that I have to get into better shape. Time is my only enemy now.

Today was another day with bad air quality. I couldn’t really tell if I struggled because of the air quality or because I haven’t been running regularly. I’m trying to get back on track but it seems to be harder than I expected.

Over the weekend there has been a series of 7 fires in the surrounding Sacramento area. None of which effected Sacramento directly but the air quality is very bad. It was pretty tough running today but I was able to push through it.

This was my first run in about 2 weeks. I wanted to start with a short distance just to get my legs back under me.

Today Bo and I decided to go for a bike ride. It was nice outside with a temperature of 86 degrees and a slight breeze. We rode from his house to the Sacramento River along the South River Road. There was a portion of the ride that had some good single track with a little rough terrain. There was a tough spot that could have caused problems, but nothing we weren’t up for. We wanted to go along the American River that has some more advanced single track, but we figured this would be good for now. Next time we will go there and test our skills. I can honestly say that the rides are getting easier and I didn’t feel like death afterwards. That’s always a positive right? Ill have to take my camera next time and get some photos. There was some awesome scenery.

I decided to go for a ride today. It was a a good ride that went through a scenic part of town. I went by the river and through several parks. The temperature was in the mid 80’s, so not bad at all.

My goals are: As of now, my fitness goal is to complete my first triathlon. My other favorite activities include: Football. 4 year starter. 2 years at Sacramento City College, and 2 years at the University of Mary.. Im taking on a new perspective on life. I've played football all my life and weighed as high as 300lbs. I am currently 255lbs, and am a year and a half out of football. Running and cardio were never really my forte, but I have found a new love in running and cycling. I hope to continue with my new passion, and to experience new things.
