Training Day, Monday December 29, 2014

 I originally planned to run a relaxed pace 3 miles but I decided to see what my two mile time would be after the sprint workout Sunday.

2 Mile Timed Run - 15:19

15:19 is not very fast but its not bad for me, I still consider myself a newbie runner haven only started seriously running in the past year.

4x10 w/40 pound vest

1 mile cool down run.

Introduction

 The basis of this post is to give a slight introduction of myself and the direction I will be taking this blog. Firstly my name is Kyle, 25, 5'9", 175, happily married, I am a nerd at heart but have a passion for fitness, video games, the outdoors, hunting and guns in general. I intend to use this blog as a fitness log/athlete journal.  I will occasionally talk about my other passions but this will mostly be a straightforward blog for me to log my fitness.

Why I Train:  RUN FAST LIFT HEAVY

The reason for my training is a vast field but has a narrow stream that leads directly to my goals.  The vast reasons being my overall health, wanting to be able to run around with my grand-kids in the future, and being fit enough to take care of my family if I needed to.  The later being the most important, I thoroughly believe a man should have the knowledge and tools to protect their loved ones.  The streams are more specific goals and dreams, specifically my future career field , which will require an extreme fitness level,.

Training:

I follow a basic outline and diet, I will not be focusing this blog on my diet; however, I  eat generally clean 80% of the time and may pick up on posting my food at a later date.
