Age, Beer, and Chicken Fried Steak

These are my demons.

It looks as though it's been nearly six years and 20 pounds since I half-heartedly started my running blog. I'm serious now. I won't get too flowery and articulate in the way that I write....I'll save those efforts for another blog which I have also set aside.

Here are the facts today:
  • 56.5 years old
  • 185 lbs
  • Favorite beer - NW IPa's (200-300 calories per 12 oz) At least 3 per day.
  • Favorite breakfast (about twice a month) - Chicken fried steak, eggs over easy, home fries, gravy. 1500-2000 calories.
  • Left my physically active job as a retail manager six months ago to drive for Uber/Lyft.
  • Currently no regular workout program.
  • Currently no monitored food intake program.
Goals:
  • Consume fewer beers.
  • Monitor and track my food intake.
  • Start and maintain a regular and progressive running program.
  • Return to a more physically demanding line of work.
  • Enter and run road races on a monthly basis.
Today:
  • Began running program on the treadmill. Covered 1.5 miles in about 16 minutes and walked out the next 4 minutes at a brisk pace.
  • No official diet as of yet. Will have one beer as a reward.
