Great way to end the weekend
Ran 12 miles.
Felt skinny all day.
Cooked a healthy, delicious meal that was split into three ziplock bags for my lunch for the next three days.
Spent almost the whole day just hanging out with the family.
Ordering Do Life Tech-Shirts -- Texting with Ben.
Me: Dude, I’m about to order the shirts. What color? Black or white?
Ben: I think black. Everyone already has a bunch of white tech-shirts.
Me: Ok.
Ben (5 minutes later): Plus, we’re a goth-friendly organization.
kiwirunning asked: Hey Jed, When you coach your football team, how do you encourage them during your fitness sessions. My girls have a fitness session for an hour and a half each week, and I never know what to say when they start to hurt! Thanks, KGF
P.S- your son is adorable!

Do you ever just want to say "screw it"
The past two afternoons have been that way in regards to eating healthy. I have been craving fried foods, chips, pizza, and donuts. Here is how it goes down:
Want to be skinny Jed: Health food can be tasty.
Unhealthy Jed: Who cares? I want pizza NOW.
SJ: But I want to lose 20 more pounds.
UJ: Start tomorrow. Stop and get a burrito.
SJ: NO!
UJ: One piece of pizza won’t kill me.

Speed work is like
that annoying younger sibling(without all the toolbag comments of course). If you ignore it, it only gets worse. I hadn’t done any real consistent speed work for over a year and now it is basically all I have been doing for the past three weeks. The 5k last Saturday was awesome and let me know that my training is working. My goal was to be under 25 minutes and my official time was 24:59:53....
How to know if Ben is distracted when talking to...
Jed: What day are you speaking in Little Rock?
Ben: What?
Jed: What day are you speaking in Little Rock?
…silence
Jed: Dude.
Ben: Uh… Chicago 7th.
Jed: Chicago 7th?
Ben: Yeah.
Jed: Chicago?
Ben: What?
Jed: You said “Chicago 7th.”
Ben: Oh. March. March 7th....

You know that feeling
when you go to the gym when you are overweight and you think everyone is staring and whispering to their buddy, “look at that fat guy.” I know the feeling. I was there once. At the fitness center tonight there was a guy and a girl riding stationary bikes. The guy looked like he would rather be anywhere else than on that bike. As I was running on the treadmill behind them I overheard...

Fitness Things I WILL accomplish in 2011.
1. Weigh under 200 pounds. I have been fluctuating between 220 and 235. My goal was originally to be 210 or 215, but since I am always pretty close to that weight, the urgency/dedication to get there is not what it needs to be. When I was 280, the urgency to lose weight was huge; I am going to get that back my setting my sights on 195.
2. I am training for a half-marathon. Weird goal...
