W8D1

Easy 30 minute run this morning. It was muggy and warm, around 80 according to the middle school marquee. There's supposed to be a cold front coming in, so hopefully my remaining runs for the week will be cooler.

167.0 this morning.

W7D3

Patricia and I planned to meet up at Meyer Park at 8AM. I got there a little early and started my warm up and jog. By the time I met Patricia on the path, I'd run about 10 minutes. We walked for another 10 minutes before beginning a 35 minute jog. Altogether, I ran 45 minutes.

The scale has been at a virtual standstill this week. I weighed in at 167.2 this morning.

W7D2

35 minute run this morning. Clear skies, started to warm up towards the end of the run.

Week 24 Weigh in

At 167.4 this morning, I'm down 1.4 lbs for the week, 23.8 total loss.

I'm pretty happy with how this month has been going. I'm having steady losses at a nice comfortable rate.

W7D1 and NEW LOW!

30 minute run this morning. I had a hard time getting out of bed so I started a little later than usual. Nice and cool out, overcast with no sun.

Also, saw 166.8 on the scale this morning. My first NEW LOW since late July! Yay! I hope it holds for tomorrow. That would be a two pound loss for this week!

Saturday Morning Run

I met up with Patricia for a run this morning in Meyer Park. After having run 41 minutes yesterday, I could tell halfway through the run that the whole thing was going to be painful.

I made it about 2 miles (25 minutes) before giving up. My calves were achy all day.

I'm supposed to meet up with her again next Saturday. My schedule has me doing a 45 minute run this Friday. I guess I can say to Patricia that I'm not up to more than 2 miles with her on Saturdays. She's getting in another run during the week (training for that same Oct 3rd 5k).

W6D3

41 minute run this morning. It was still so dark when I left the apartment that I kept checking my watch to make sure I wasn't off by an hour or something. I think the culprit was the completely socked in skies blocking any hint of a sunrise. It had brightened significantly by the end of the run, but still no sun. It was raining when I drove to work 1.5 hours later, so I guess I really lucked out.

This run was just a few seconds longer than my longest 5k, making it the longest I've ever run. I like milestones and they're going to start happening again frequently.

Speaking of milestones, at 167.6, I'm once again past my halfway point to goal. I'm only 0.6 lbs above my lowest weight from July.
