Hot day to run, manage 4.73, though I had to walk once for about a half a mile. I got the run in though and I felt pretty good after.
Good work on the Elliptical today and I treated myself to a Subway BLT for lunch. Minor cheat action tonight, as Molly and I are going out to eat, but I am going to try to be good. Still holding @ 11 pounds and still a little frustrated by it, but I am clinging to the hope that the weight will start peeling off in a week or two.
Really good run today, I was a little sore, so I ran more of a recovery run. I set the treadmill at .5 elevation and 5.0MPH and ran 27 minutes with little effort (Slow, I know, but 6 months ago, I could not run 5.0MPH for 10 minutes!). I then sprinted out the last 3 minutes, ending at 7.5MPH. I felt good and my heart rate held well. Tomorrow I plan on the elliptical, then 4.5 miles on Saturday. Still holding fast at 11 pounds of weight loss, still frustrated, and still hopeful that the weight will come off eventually.
Weighed in at 239.8 today, I am in Mpls now. Because I had a long drive Rhonda came down and we did a 3 mile walk. My back is sore now though
Good run today, I see another record pace, this time nearly hitting 3 miles. My legs felt good and I really felt a lot better running faster BEFORE lunch today. I am a little disappointed in my weight loss, I have not lost a pound since last week. It is frustrating, but last time I was hard in training, I hit a plateau after I had lost 10 pounds, so I am hoping after a few weeks, I will begin to drop weight quickly, as it happened last time.
Did not get up this morning to run and I had a noon meeting, I decided to run after lunch. I now know why runners generally do not eat lunch and then go run. I ran the entire 30 minutes @ 52.MPH, but it was a struggle all the way. The only good news is it is done and I can run BEFORE lunch tomorrow.
78 Cloudy and Humid – Well my new shoes seemed to work pretty good, I did have to walk today but that was OK because I didn’t want my back to start hurting
63 Sunny and Humid – My back was sore so I just walked fast for the 3 mile loop.
No workouts today. I need a rest day today, so I am taking one. No walk tonight, since everyone will be gone, but I will be running tomorrow morning. No weight loss this morning on my weigh in, but we will see how the week progresses.
Rhonda and I went for a really long walk today, about 5 miles. I bought some new shoes today and used on the walk (supernova)
Back feels ok
