I have a few quick updates and some questions for you readers. I'm now realizing how beer can tank any progress that has been made. They really need to make a zero calorie beer. They have zero calorie pop (or soda for all you Southerners), so why not beer? Someone needs to get on that STAT!
Did another 5K on Sunday - Alexandria Running Festival. I took almost 2 minutes off my time from the week before. 48:26, which is a 15:38/mile pace. I gotta do better. I'm thinking about signing up for another 5K this Saturday. Want to get to 46:00. New shoes seem to be working well though.
Spin shoes are ok too. But that brings me to my first question - is it normal for the arches of your feet to hurt when spinning/biking? I unclipped my shoes from the pedals and moved my feet so the pedals were more under the arches of my feet instead of the ball of my feet. Seemed to feel better, so I switched between clipping and unclipping. Am I doing something wrong? The clips are as far back (towards my heel) as they can go on the shoes.
I also need some new songs to run to. Any suggestions of good, upbeat songs? I like pretty much anything!
My last and main question is how do you breathe when you run/workout? I know it might sound silly asking this, but I find that is my biggest hurdle. Yes, I have weight I need to lose, but I find that I get out of breath very fast. I feel my body could go longer, but I have to stop so I can breathe. I also yawn a lot when exercising (even at spin class). Any tips on how I can keep from getting out of breath so quickly?

Daft Punk has some upbeat stuff that you might want to check out. Best of luck on your journey :)
