Possum Foot

     I know what you are thinking, "Possum Foot?" what the heck!? What does that mean? I will tell you, a few nights ago, I went for a run, a run to help get me back into a normal running routine, however, I have this weired foot numbing thing...my running weakness, it doesn't matter the type of shoe, how tight or loose that the shoe is, my left foot will grow numb after about a half mile of running.
     So, what is a man to do? Stop running? Ha, I don't think so! It didn't stop me that day that I ran about four miles, (more walk then run but still) even when the foot went numb, I pushed forward, I kept pushing in hopes that I would get feeling back in the foot! It isn't like it is a full foot-asleep kind of numb or anything like that, but it is numb enough to where I don't want to be running on it.
       I don't know what I am going to do about this, I have been a runner for over two years now. A friend of mine runs marathons and all that good stuff, and I thought to myself "How hard can that be, I will do some training, and I will be right there with my friend" I should know this right now, that I should really think more in reality.
      I was home-schooled growing up, I never ran to...well, I never ran to anywhere, why would I? There wasn't a need, no rush.
      After two years or so of running, I still have a hard time running a full mile, part of the reason is not sticking with the training, but the other reason is the foot going numb, I wish I knew why it is doing it. Is it because the left leg is weaker then the right? Or maybe something is tweaked, and it is something that I will have to deal with.
     I know that it isn't going to keep me from running, I won't let this stop me, and this summer I am going to run two miles without having to stop, at least that is the goal for now.


Me and possum foot are going to battle is out for a while, but I am not going to let it win, I may not be running marathons but that is okay.


Keep in Health. 

Summer is Near (and it is about time)

     Yes! Summer is getting closer! I am so excited for the warmth of a warm summer breeze running through my hair, and not feel like a prisoner of winter, I have done my time, and I now wanting to be able to run free! I want to run, with out running through snow-drifts (Kind of fun the first time, kind of hard core I thought), I want to be in the sun, enjoying all that summer has to offer! Are you ready for it?
     As I was laying awake, I got myself thinking, am I ready? Am I ready for the activities that I want to be doing this summer? As I thought about it, I came to this, I am not as ready as I would like to be.
     I have made a few small goals that I want to achieve by the end of summer: Run three miles without stopping; beat my one friend in tennis (This is the year! You better get ready Timothy!); get to my weight goal! Which is 175-180 range, and I am getting closer.
     Even though, I am getting closer to my weight goal, I now at the point where I need to push it, and "Bring It!" to a whole new level, I don't want to start walking backwards, and this is point the time that I would make back steps only getting myself further away from my goal, it is not going to happen this time, I am going all the way! This is why goals on important!

     I talk a lot about goals, big or small, you need them, and you need to tell others about what it is that you are running towards! Having some one you know, is a nice feeling to know that someone has your back, so if you haven't told anyone yet...go tell somebody! I would love to hear them and help anyway that I can! Just let me know, you can contact me on Twitter, FmBecker or you can like my "Like" page on FaceBook, Coach Becker. http://on.fb.me/h2oAgs that link there goes right to my facebook page, If you want motivation just let me know and I help!

Keep it healthy!

Water, you know it is good for you, and yet, we don't drink it enough.

    We all know water is good for you, and I don't know about you, but I have a hard time getting in that recommended "eight glasses" in each day. Again, this is something we know that is good for us, so why is it so hard for us to get that it is each day?
     Think about it, how much time would it really take to get a glass of water? Or multipliable throughout the day? It wouldn't take to long, and it is something that is over all- is pretty easy to do.
     I wish I could tell you that I am really good at this, but the truth is that I am not good at it.  I can't speak for you but when I drink the most water in my day,  is when my mouth is starting to get dry, and when water is the only thing that is sounding good...haha, can you see why this is wrong? When I get to that point that water is the only thing that I want to be drinking, it most likely means my body is crying for water! 
     
     I have started this book called You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty. I will will be talking about the importance of drinking throughout the weeks to come.


Have a amazing day, and drink your water!

Do you know? Have you seen?

     I have always known or at least for a while now, that fat and muscle are in fact different, muscle and fat weight at the same 5lbs take a look at this.

Do you see the difference? Again, I have known since I was young, I knew that muscle even though weight the same as fat is way more lean,  http://www.facebook.com/shortyfitness1 allowed me to post this picture on here, Thank you! I don't really know your name but I think you for allowing this to be an eye opener to other people, like it was an eye opener for me.
Seeing this here made think about how, this butt of mine and all the other areas are not going to be going away, unless, I push myself and take the time to get this fat and tone it into lean muscle.

This journey is not an easy one, but it is one that I plan on pushing towards, this is the year that things change for me.

I would like to help you reach your health goals as I am reaching mine, I am learning more on heath everyday. There is no better time then now to do this. I am not going to make excuses for my unhealthy-ness.

In God and in Health.
