Week 8! Only 44 more to go! Oh man these numbers continue to look scary.
Stats:
Running Mileage: 108.79/1,000
Push-ups: 775/10,000
Sit-ups: 705/10,000
Pages Read: 1983/6,000
Books Completed: 6/25
Word Written: 9773/100,000
Fasts (Days without)
Internet: 9/100
TV: 30/100
Gaming: 51/100
Meat: 14/100
Junk: 9/100
Booze: 12/100
As we're rounding the bend into completing the second month in the project, there's been a few developments:
STATS
-Running has been catching up, but not at the rate it needs to be. If I was to stick to an average rate, I would have to have run 167 miles by August 25th. I'm hoping to get at least 15 in by that time, but that still leaves me with a 40+ mile deficit. The hope is to continue my 100 miles a month mentality until I am caught up, and then enroll in a half-marathon in the spring. That way I'm cornered into training during the winter as well.
-I'm not as worried about the push-up/sit-ups because it's a simple fix of being sure to do it when I wake up and when I go to bed and do a few weeks of 100-a-days.
-I have been reading through the kindle app on my phone and it is glorious for my commutes and for my page count. On the other hand, I have turned into one of those people staring at their phones as they walk down the street.
-Words written is a toughie and I'm not quite sure how to reconcile it, but I assume if I can hone in on topics or focus for the written section of the blog, I can clinch it.
FASTS
-It's clear that in the world of having to make something everyday to be posted online, video games, (and to a lesser extent, television) have no place. I haven't touched a game since the first two weeks.
-Meat and booze are pretty well on course, and with as busy as I have been and will be the next few months I won't have much time to drink.
-Going to have to work out some kinks in the internet and junk food departments. Both have soft stipulations. Is checking a news site for more than 5 minutes turn it into a junk site? Are peanuts bought at a 7/11 considered junk food? I think it's time to set specifics:
Internet Ok: Gmail, Blogger, any google drive and any research done for a project or general inquiry
Internet disqualifiers: Facebook, Popsci, Cracked, Reddit, Imgur, Any web comic sites, any news sites (except in emergencies,) and all the other time wasters I'm forgetting.
Junk Nos: Fries, pizza, any candy, soda, any processed snacks (chips, goldfish, pretzels, etc), anything from a restaurant, (exceptions can be made if the item is exceptionally healthy) and anything else that is highly processed.

Haiku of the Day:
Sprinting through the trees
scattered shadows fragment light
