Injury Report: Severe pain in knee that made it occasionally hard to continue running, saw Sport Med Dr and PT, no dramatic improvement like I was expecting still nursing it and taking the first couple of days off in April to give it a rest.

Saw improvement with my speed but I think the best improvement is that even thou I am running faster (this is relative), I am not gasping for breathe.

With the Josh Hillis Stubborn Fat Program I was really impress with how effective it really was, saw great improvement in my abs and shoulder and lost about 3 pound, even with no diet modification. I modified the program by going for rounds instead of 20 mins, with me knowing I was only going to do 3 rounds I was able to go as heavy as I can handle without worring about how long it took me, Josh also said if I was doing more than 5 rounds in 20 mins my weights were too light, so the rouunds worked better and I was spent at the end of each workout when done. Will difinately try this again for a quick start and it works great with running since the workouts are short. Thanks Josh.

As of the end of March I have met my first Resolution weight goal of lossing 10 pounds, currently 2 months ahead, since this was an end of May Goal. :)
