Okay, so when last I posted a note, I was neck deep in training for a May 7th half marathon. I didn't run it quite as quickly as I had hoped as of March 30, but I still ran it faster than I had been training.
2:08:30.
I was glad to break 10 minute miles. But an interesting thing happened. I took the next week off to recover, but also took a break from eating right. Suddenly, I put on some real weight. But I am back on the beam. I have run the past 3 days, getting in shape for a 3.5 mile "fun run" in New York City next month. I have been training slowly, just trying to figure out how to run such a race (start fast? Finish strong?). I have watched my times come down pretty quickly. First running a 3.5 mile run in 35 minutes, then 33, then 31:55 tonight. My hope is to get below 30 minutes, and see if I can push it lower than that.
More importantly, it is important to keep eating better, even if it means enjoying some bad stuff from time to time. Gotta get my weight down to 230, to 220, and even to 210. I have a ways to go, but I have a lot of reasons to be sure that I am lighter.
I wanted to congratulate my fellow BBR's for completing the half marathon, and doing such a great job! I am very impressed, and I have a great reason to keep pushing on my running and weight loss.
Thanks guys.
