On a couple of fronts....
First... 266, that's the 4 pounds I spoke of a week ago today, its gone and now I am where I was when I ended Biggest Loser last year. That's kind of a big deal for me. I put alot back on over the last 6 months and to hit what was a HUGE milestone for me last year again, well, it speaks of moving in the right direction.
Another milestone, I broke the 30 minute mark on the trail tonight. Came in just under 29:30. That's about 8 minutes a kilometer. I would like to get to 6 minutes a kilometer by the end of October. I think that's doable. I am still having the same discomfort issues though. I am getting pain in my shins and my feet are feeling swollen and tingly sometimes. I have checked it out online and it seems to be a fairly common complaint, more so from ...ahem..... larger folks when they start out running, its a circulation and impact issue that should resolve itself over time.
Having some nice input from people, had a girl at work today ask me what was different about me, if I had new glasses or something, gotta say, that's the kind of stuff that makes me day and makes the trip a little easier!
That's about it for now, hope to get out and do a little more running over the weekend and shave it all down a wee bit more....
Speaking of shaving..... did my head again tonight, now I REALLY look smaller lol....
Congrats on hitting a milestone! That's awesome :D And the whole shin/feet thing -- yeah I get that too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think its a fairly common malady. If I remember correctly though from last year it got easier and less as I progressed.
ReplyDeleteGood job buddy, keep up the great work.
