Soccer Outdoor Warm-up

222 Pounds

We had our first warm-up practice for the outdoor soccer season. This is the best fitness I have started a soccer season with in a long time. Thanks to you grand old treadi! I am just not losing much weight for some reason. I have heard some marathon runners gain weight during training, but who knows…

I had the sweetest set up for my run tonight. I had my Netflix account ready, my big screen projector and a pretty cool documentary called King of Kong. It was about video games…old school video games to be exact. To be even more exact it was about the World Champion of Donkey Kong Steve Weibe.

One cool thing to note when streaming my Netflix from my laptop to a projector. Naturally, the sound on my cheap laptop is not strong enough for movie quality listening. I solved this by running a speaker wire form my laptop headphone jack right into the receiving / female speaker jack on my treadi. I just used an old wire from some computer speakers. It actually worked great and promoted a long and enjoyable run was movie long!

I play soccer tomorrow outside. I have not decided if I will try to get a run on top of that.

222 Pounds

I played soccer tonight after a big meal with my family. It did not feel so well but I worked out none the less. We actually won…so that was good.

Will someone provide me a good explanation about why my weight goes up after a long run? I suspect it is a muscle burn thing.
