I'm filming on my phone and not on my
0:44
camera all I'm taking out is said phone
0:48
so I can't show the the proximity that's
0:50

1:00
155 156 days from now August 10th 2024
1:05
I'll be 50 years old I'm doing a fitx 50
1:08
challenge but then also three or four
1:10
weeks after that I'm doing my first run
1:12
Disney event I talked about that the
1:14
other day and I was going to take all of
1:16
this month all of March to do a little
1:19
treadmill
1:20
action but the treadmill is kind of
1:22
boring I do the treadmill I watch shows
1:24
on the treadmill and I really kind of
1:26
need to get out onto the concrete onto
1:28
the open Plains if you will and that's
1:30
what I'm going to do and I'm just going
1:31
to see how far I can get without you
1:35
know peeling over at this point and just
1:37
test the old muscles and
1:39
the the the body system now I paraph not
1:43
paraphrase but uh to give a disclaimer I
1:46
will probably not be running all of the
1:47
13 miles in September when I do the
1:50
Disney half marathon Halloween half
1:53
marathon I just want to cross the finish
1:55
line I'm hearing as long as you can do a
1:57
15minute pace for a mile running walking
2:01
then the balloon ladies there's the
2:03
infamous balloon ladies which I did not
2:04
know about until I posted that
2:06
announcement video they will not catch
2:09
up with you and make you completely
2:11
isn't this such a beautiful
2:13
area all right I'm inviting you to join
2:15
me on a run walk test out the old feet
2:20
test out the old socks shoes I did have
2:24
some running socks but I use traditional
2:25
socks and I have these oncloud shoes and
2:29
the only thing I'm bringing with me is a
2:32
$10 bill in my pocket to get some water
2:35
if I need and my phone I think I might
2:39
invest in an Apple Watch though I think
2:41
that's like a good thing that way I can
2:42
see exactly how far I'm running all
2:44
right let's get going I'm inviting you
2:45
to join
2:46
me shall
2:49
you wow all right stop stop right here
2:55
oh my God holy Lord I made to this point
3:01
Corner celebration of Campus that was a
3:04
heck of a lot harder than I expected not
3:07
quite a mile about a block from the
3:08
Starbucks which would have been a mile a
3:10
little over a mile good Lord got get my
3:15
circulation going again feels good but
3:19
when I used to run when I was younger I
3:21
was a lot lighter when I started running
3:24
it felt like there was a an earthquake
3:27
underneath my feet on my own for
3:30
weighing so much holy
3:33
Lord oh that was the most distance I've
3:37
run let's call it 4 fths of a mile
3:40
Starbucks is right there which was a
3:42
mile from the point close to
3:43
it let's call it 4 fth of a mile give or
3:48
take all right so over the next 150 days
3:52
really need to lose weight CU goodness
3:55
gu the blood flow and I can feel my
3:56
heart P palpitating pumping
4:00
no Starbucks today just going to get
4:02
some
4:08
water wow not I'm amazed I made it as
4:08
far as I did though I thought I will say
4:11
I did think it was going to be a little
4:12
easier I did not realize my back was
4:14
going to feel it my legs were fine side
4:18
was fine cuz mostly my back and then the
4:22
the upper boobage area flopping around
4:25
this will all go away watching what I
4:27
eat and going from there man I was going
4:32
to try to make it to full
4:34
mile my body was saying no no no take a
4:37
take a break I'll get there I'll get it
4:40
it's only the first day of the jogging I
4:42
want to call it running but I kind of
4:44
figure if I can get to the point where I
4:46
jog the first two miles of the 13 miles
4:50
and then brisly walk at like a 3.5 Pace
4:53
a second mile then maybe run a mile or a
4:56
half mile half mile on half mile off
4:59
stay stay along from stay away from the
5:02
back of the pack I could be good that's
5:05
my that's my
5:06
plan 13 and 1 12 miles is really going
5:08
to be a an undertaking the 5K 10K were
5:12
both sold out I even time I took a
5:15
screen grab of the time when I was
5:19
leaving that intersection to over here
5:20
and I totally forgot I was at one with
5:23
my own thoughts for about three or four
5:25
minutes trying to regain my my cons not
5:28
Consciousness but
5:30
regained myself I forgot to look at the
5:33
time when I
5:34
stopped but I got a little ethos water
5:36
here from Starbucks yeah this is going
5:37
to be a long process this is the old
5:40
parking lot I used to park in when I
5:41
have my apartment over
5:47
here part used to be right up
5:47
there people circling around trying to
5:49
find parking there's a spot right
5:51
there see that Park that car right there
5:54
though if that was me parked there I'd
5:56
be tow cuz it's not a parking spot
5:57
anyway that's a whole other story
6:00
guess that was just my time to be
6:08
towed now in no way is it in determining
6:08
distance where Al the water is hitting
6:11
the spot but just to give no determining
6:14
Factor has been ran yet to really give a
6:17
consensus on whether the shoes feel
6:18
amazing or if I'm going to be able to do
6:20
this again just first thought
6:22
jarring it's probably been at least a
6:25
decade
6:26
since I've ran that distance and it's
6:29
only it was only what 4 fifths of a mile
6:31
3/4 of a mile and didn't know what kind
6:34
of pace I was at but I was definitely
6:36
wasn't sprinting I wasn't giving it my
6:38
all but I was had a pretty good Pace
6:40
going on but I will say the
6:43
shoes do feel really comfy pretty good I
6:47
think these are going to be pretty good
6:49
to break in I'm sure I'm going to wear
6:50
through these maybe another pair even
6:52
before
6:54
September's race but so I think I'm
6:58
going to pick another marker try to do
6:59
another another dve maybe I'll do a half
7:02
mile instead of trying to do it a mile
7:04
maybe just a quick little half mile 3/4
7:05
a mile miles a little too much I'll try
7:08
to pick another half mile point from
7:09
where I at right now look on the map and
7:11
get back with you I walked over to
7:13
Savannah Square going to start again I
7:15
think it's about half mile yeah probably
7:18
6 miles it's called a half mile from
7:20
here this direction over towards the
7:24
library the celebration of Library all
7:26
right going to get jogging see how see
7:28
see if I can get over there with House
7:30
St here comes the
7:38
Rhino that's what I feel
7:38
like feel like a rhino running okay I
7:41
had to slow down right here turn it into
7:44
a
7:46
walk second fail in the distance so far
7:48
today but at least I'm getting a a
7:51
little perspective so they made it
7:53
probably 35ths of that sixth Mile in the
7:57
second run quarter of camp of goth Park
8:01
starting off on the second little
8:04
leg over at Savannah Park goodness
8:07
gracious this is a wakeup call feel like
8:09
I should have stuck with my original
8:11
thought process and game plan which was
8:13
to take this whole month and just to
8:16
W walking startle me scared me man
8:21
should have just started off with the
8:24
first game plan which was to drop about
8:26
10 15 more pounds this month just by
8:28
doing Shred so I don't yeah I think
8:31
probably the regular 3 four maybe five
8:34
times a week running will start in April
8:36
but I want to test it out and I am not
8:39
ready to be hitting the pavement yet I
8:42
think I'm just too heavy and I'm just
8:43
out of shape my legs feel pretty good
8:46
but yeah just
8:49
uh didn't think it was going to hit me
8:51
this hard so I don't think I'm going to
8:53
do any more running today look how my
8:54
face is sweating but I am going to head
8:57
home and hit the gym a little bit bit
8:59
still doing a little bit of weights and
9:01
not going to do the treadmill but
9:02
starting tomorrow gu I get back on the
9:04
treadmill and do the treadmill the rest
9:05
of the rest of the month and then go
9:08
back into the running and I got to
9:10
really put it into the Universe I need
9:11
to drop about 10 or 15 lbs over the next
9:13
three that's call 10 lbs over the next
9:15
three and a half weeks maybe even
9:17
more and just kind of a good tie-in
9:19
would be the opening of baseball season
9:22
spring trainings happening right now I
9:23
can call this my spring training even
9:25
though I'm not a pro baseball player
9:27
because I'm not that good and don't have
9:29
the the discipline to try to to be that
9:32
that's why other succeeded in that
9:34
Avenue and I am here trying to jog a
9:36
half mile through celebration sweating
9:38
my my tukka off and not being able to
9:41
accomplish a mile yet but it'll happen
9:45
treadmill the rest of the month also go
9:48
show a little bit of my workout routine
9:49
too I head over to the home gym and I'm
9:51
going to get on track back on track with
9:53
that and just not really be running like
9:56
I did today for another 3 weeks and till
10:00
till I get the the cardio up on the
10:02
treadmill all right over to the
10:03
homestead of course that on its own is a
10:06
nice little walk too so get my steps in
10:09
getting back over there
10:11
yeah thing is I can walk all day long
10:14
but man once I start
10:16
jogging you realize I'm a slob can't
10:20
even imagine what it would have been
10:21
like if I would attempted to run a month
10:23
ago or when I was at my heaviest like uh
10:27
6 eight months ago
10:30
I I fluctuate a lot I am nowhere near my
10:32
heaviest but I am not
10:34
thin but if I would have tried man if I
10:36
would have tried jogging a little bit
10:38
when I was at my
10:39
heaviest probably be keeled over right
10:43
there look at this line of
10:50
cars oh golfers
10:50
only I've actually never stopped to look
10:52
at that sign before fun fact you know
10:55
what I might do at some
10:57
point is do like a Brisk fast 3M walk or
11:03
even like a 2m walk just to see without
11:07
running just how brisk of a fast right
11:09
now I'm I'm walking very slow very very
11:12
slow because I'm kind of exhausted but
11:16
if I had not run granted I only ran like
11:19
what 1.3 miles at the most 1.2 miles
11:22
just then and that would just like kick
11:23
my kick my heiny but if I hadn't have
11:26
done that I feel like I'm interested to
11:28
see at walking at my normal Fast Pace if
11:31
I can walk like a
11:32
35 on concrete I know I can do on the
11:35
treadmill see what I could see if I
11:37
could walk a 15minute pace for a few
11:40
miles that would be a game changer if I
11:42
could the only reason I really haven't
11:44
weighed myself for this little 10e
11:47
duration of the weight loss and trying
11:48
to get fit get in
11:52
shape is because I just know I'll be
11:54
disappointed with what I weighed in at
11:57
prior to Dragon com which is th th by
11:59
Dragon Con last year so I'm trying to
12:01
get down at a
12:02
respectful number close to that before I
12:06
kick it into kicking another gear into
12:10
April if that makes
12:22
listening for anyone that is and it
12:22
might has even come as a it might even
12:24
come as a revelation to me as a
12:27
announcement to my brain
12:29
that maybe I am not geared at my age
12:32
weight and bad ankles and knees to be
12:37
any sort of a
12:39
jogger run I'm using the the word Runner
12:41
very it's a run Disney event but it's
12:43
basically going to be a a bris Jog and
12:46
fast walk but maybe maybe it's not maybe
12:49
it's not cut out for me but I won't know
12:51
till I try going to give it the old
12:53
College try even though
12:55
I'm considerably older than someone that
12:57
should be in college because when I
12:59
started jogging a bit
13:02
ago when I first started doing that
13:04
first Mile and I only made it about
13:07
3/4 when I first took those first 10 15
13:12
Steps I thought to myself oh holy
13:16
F this is not going
13:20
to this is not what I expected just
13:23
looked it up again 181 days from now to
13:26
the start of the Run Disney event marath
13:29
on
13:30
weekend 2 Days Later is the race High
13:32
men it's on a Sunday it is a half
13:35
marathon 181 days is up to
13:39
the the start of the 5K then the next
13:42
day is the 10K and then there's the half
13:44
marathon 156 days until I'm 50 there's a
14:03
that was awesome look how cute this
14:03
house is love it love
14:07
it all right I'm going to try another
14:09
little quick little jog. 3 miles from
14:12
here at nadina place at West Park Drive
14:17
over to the Catholic church3 miles I'm
14:21
going to have a little little
14:27
jog
14:27
going
14:34
oh I can feel it my legs those first two
14:34
little
14:43
JS
14:43
woo
14:45
yeah oh
14:47
yeah heart racing
14:49
there I felt like a little less than3
14:52
that's probably between 2 and3
14:55
nonetheless I feel like the walking
14:59
running thing could
15:01
work also I went a little slower Pace on
15:04
that last little
15:06
three3 miles that did the other one I
15:08
think that first temp that first mile I
15:11
think I was going a little too fast I
15:13
think that winded me a little I think
15:15
that started off the whole thing not in
15:17
a positive light hard to believe it's
15:20
only about 10 days from right now give
15:21
or take to St Patty's Day this year is
15:24
already starting to be in full swing I'm
15:26
going to need the Luck of the Irish I'm
15:28
going to need the the rainbow to the
15:29
gold the health
15:31
gold almost said
15:33
gold a goal and gold really luck has
15:37
nothing to do with it it's just putting
15:38
on the work something I have not done
15:40
for a long
15:42
time getting
15:52
there yeah so starting tomorrow back on
15:52
the treadmill back in the home gym here
15:54
I always like to do about an hour I
15:56
usually watch some TV episodes or some
15:58
movies if it's a full movie I'll watch
16:00
half a movie One Day half a movie the
16:02
next and if it's like an episode I'll
16:04
watch a couple episodes of a show right
16:06
on there for the next
16:08
month and got to show a few workouts
16:11
that I use I don't think this is the
16:13
best weight bench that there is but it
16:16
it's okay I'm not trying to do anything
16:17
like heavy lifting but one day if I ever
16:20
get up to that I might need a sturdier
16:23
weight bench and a and a better barbell
16:26
system as far as the one across there
16:28
but mostly I just do like the free
16:31
weight curls they are the treadmill and
16:34
then I just love this this thing right
16:36
here which I really need to get back on
16:39
back on track with this because I really
16:41
like the leg lift so I'll kind of show
16:44
what I do those I'm a big fan of not a
16:46
fan but I'm big into the three or four
16:50
sets of 15 routine so anything 15 you
16:53
know uh reps 15 reps whatever the weight
16:57
is or leg lifts or anything what I mean
17:00
this thing will really put things in
17:01
perspective as
17:03
well
17:05
basically put your feet up on here and
17:09
then you put your back against here and
17:10
then you just do the leg lift working
17:12
your legs and your
17:36
you do 15 of those kind of walk around a
17:36
little bit catch your breath and then
17:37
get right back on and do three more and
17:40
normally I will have music playing pping
17:43
through the Bluetooth but the music's on
17:46
my phone and I'm filming on my phone
17:47
right now so you just kind of take a
17:49
break catch your
17:55
breath again I'm no expert on any of
17:55
this but I just love how it works I love
17:59
all the areas that it works without
18:00
having to do crunches cuz my back is not
18:03
geared for
18:25
crunches oh yeah feel it right there
18:25
nice and then as far as the curls go
18:28
just got three sets of those as well now
18:31
I've learned just from you know people
18:33
giving their their thoughts as well when
18:35
they see me doing stuff I'll kind of
18:37
take the good with the bad constructive
18:39
criticism that when you do curls you
18:42
should go slow so I do three sets of
18:45
these of
18:59
15 already lost track I think that's
18:59
five
19:03
six
19:06
seven
19:08
7
19:33
so basically three sets of
19:33
those three times just like three times
19:37
on that and then I'll do some some bench
19:39
press and stuff you get the idea and
19:42
trust me I'm not in any way shape or
19:44
form trying to pretend that I'm in shape
19:46
cuz I'm not also when I open the garage
19:49
door every time I pull the mini Marge
19:51
out all these leaves blow up
19:53
so this leaves always in
19:57
here
20:00
all right that's going to do it for
20:01
today I'll see you the next video the
20:04
Vlog
20:14
is thanks for listening the Vlog is over
20:14
also one last thing I almost feel like
20:17
the running at you know I could probably
20:19
run three times as two or three times
20:21
faster than what I would normally walk
20:23
quickly at but I almost feel like that's
20:27
it slowed down the walking if I do a
20:29
half run half walk I'm walking at about
20:31
a third the pace cuz I'm tired I almost
20:34
feel like it's like toris in the
20:36
hairstyle what if I just brisly walk
20:39
jogged the whole way instead of
20:42
attempting to run that's why I'm
20:43
thinking now cuz I noticed when I did
20:45
that first almost that first mile 3/4 of
20:48
a mile four fifths of a mile and then I
20:50
did that other almost 4 fths of a mile
20:53
and the other three three 1/3 of a mile
20:57
when I went to walk
20:58
I was walking very slow I was trying to
21:01
like regain my
21:04
myself so I don't know I feel like I
21:06
