I can't wait until the kids are old enough so we can do something for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Yes, I'm talking about running on the treadmill. Oh, the intentions were good, and I was all set up for it. The kids were down for a nap, I waited a bit to make sure they were asleep. Then I put Babylon 5 into the DVD player, and was all set to watch the Jason Ironheart episode.

When I pressed play, the bedroom door opened up and out came my 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. My son told me, "My nap was good!"

So I ended up running 15 minutes @ 6mph. It could have been worse, I suppose.

No problem motivating myself today. None at all, and why?

I lost two pounds! So I'm at 162; still 4 pounds away from my low of 158, but I'm definitely getting there.

Today, the same as Wednesday:

Warmup, with 45lb bar
Overhead Squat

I seem to have a handle on the whole 6mph pace for a period of time (as opposed to for a short bit). Today was a 25 minute jog, 6mph, 2.5 miles.
