2014 Damascus Bakery Half Marathon | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/2014-damascus-bakery-half-marathon
Chronicling my journey to better health. 2014 Damascus Bakery Half Marathon. Survived my first half marathon this morning! Official results are not yet posted but the clock at the finish line said 2:28:something. Time according to Zombies, Run! The stitch returned around 7.5 miles, so I took a slightly longer walk break and decided to try one of the gels despite the “rule” I keep seeing around the interwebs of “Nothing new on race day! You do it all the time! I do remember grabbing a couple of energy che...

thorn | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/author/3panman
Chronicling my journey to better health. I’m a 30-something bachelor working to lose weight in hopes of avoiding the heart problems present in family history. Fixing computers pays the bills. Making music keeps me sane. I love to cook. I crochet and occasionally knit. I have two cats. Yeah I think that sums things up pretty well. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I first learned about the park in my 4th grade science class, and the trip did not disappoint. Fair warning, I’m using this po...Re-opened....

Can’t seem to get going again | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/cant-seem-to-get-going-again
Chronicling my journey to better health. Can’t seem to get going again. It’s been a frustrating few months on the health front. I haven’t run in just over five weeks now. I’ve set an early alarm almost every night with every intention of getting up to run in the morning but when the alarm goes off, I just can’t seem to drag my ass out of bed. Instead, I opt for another hour to hour and a half of sleep. I also have to remember that I didn’t just up and change my entire lifestyle overnight a year and...

Three weeks off… ugh… | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/three-weeks-off-ugh
Chronicling my journey to better health. Three weeks off… ugh…. I did not intend to take three weeks off after the half-marathon, but things sort of happened that way. The first week was a planned week off. I knew my body needed the rest in order to fully recover. I also fell prey to the mindset of, “I just ran a half-marathon! I can eat whatever I want! STAY HOME INSTEAD OF INFECTING THE REST OF US. And just wanting to snack in general. I’m being careful to keep snack foods out of the house, t...The fir...

strange dreams | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/strange-dreams
Chronicling my journey to better health. I really wasn’t sure where else to put something like this but I felt I needed to get it written down. So it will be going here. I don’t think I would necessarily categorize these as nightmares. Just very strange dreams. And what’s the deal with the Peter Paul and Mary part? Can’t seem to get going again. 10k race report →. 2015/04/21 at 1:30 pm. Dreams. Stop making sense the moment you wake up! 2015/04/21 at 2:16 pm. 2015/04/21 at 10:01 pm. Or still has to happen?

10k race report | being better
https://3panman.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/10k-race-report
Chronicling my journey to better health. 10k race today. This was my first time repeating a race, so going in already knowing the course was a new experience. I actually did much better than I’d anticipated given I haven’t been running nearly as often or as far as I would have liked in preparation. Ended up not walking nearly as much as I thought I would need to, which was nice. I got all excited near the finish when I heard someone shout, “Hurry! If you hurry, you might beat 1:10!
