I'm contemplating signing up for a race in the next few months. If I did I would attempt to use the Galloway method and hope that I'm not a complete spazz that can't run with walking breaks.
I just find myself completely unmotivated when it comes to working out. I can pretty much force myself to lift 3 times a week, but I'm struggling to add cardio in there. My biggest issue is the only cardio I enjoy is running. But, obviously I can't run as much as I would like, and I just get miserable when I'm forced to use the elliptical or the bike or basically anything else.
So, is it completely stupid/insane of me to expect myself to be able to complete a 5k or 10k when I can barely finish 2 miles without my knee wanting to fall off?
Anyways, I guess I have to FIND a race first before I start planning to run one. Guess I'll start looking.
On a completely different note, WTF New York? I can understand the idea behind this plan. I actually think a small amount of rent a month is a good idea. Helps people feel independent and learns to budget money. However, rather than 30-40% of the income going to rent, I would think some kind of mandatory savings plan for these families makes more sense and would get them out of the system sooner. Even if you want to charge rent, $926/month on a 25k/year salary is INSANE. That's more than I'm willing to spend on rent right now and I'm not even homeless. Taking out taxes, I estimate $25k/year is about 20k take home pay (if its even that much). That much rent is a little over 11k/year. That leaves a whopping 9k for these people to save each year to get out of the shelters. And most of that 9k is probably spent on food/medical expenses. Are they trying to keep these people in the shelters for the rest of their lives???
Sadly, this isn't even the stupidest article I've read today. I need to stop reading the news. It's pissing me off.
