236.5 when woke up – 233.5 after 12 mile run The 12 mile run was done in 1 hour 58 minutes with only 4 minutes of walking.  I did a bunch of speed work in the last mile with several minutes at 7-8 mph.  Most of the run was done at 6 – 6.1 mph. …

235.5 when woke up – 235 after 4 mile run in 38:37 Run felt pretty decent today on the new treadmill – did a nice steady 6.2 mph for the first 3.5 miles or so and then tried some higher speeds near the end and only had 2 minutes of walking through the whole running…

Below are some of the cool items I received from my wife for Christmas this year that are geared towards the Goofy Challenge run this year: Emergency blankets – will take these instead of a couple of big black garbage bags that I mentioned in the “to take list” – simpler to pack and may…

236 this morning – 235 after 5 mile run in 47:43 Double checked the leveling on the new treadmill and it definitely settled a bit more in the back – instead of being out a fraction of a bubble on the level it was out a full bubble.  I made some quick adjustments to get…

238 this morning when got up – Christmas definitely took things off track for a couple days. Did 5 miles on the new treadmill in 48 minutes (237 after the run).  The new treadmill is definitely a tougher run than the old one – not nearly as much give – both my wife and I…

238 this morning – was 235.5 yesterday morning and 234 Monday morning – so up 4 pounds in 2 days – yay   I am sure a lot of it is short term retained water, etc but still disappointing to see even when you are expecting it. I did manage to get in a short run…

234 when woke up No running today but definitely a lot of physical work removing the old treadmill from the basement and bring in the new one and setting it up. So definitely did not hit my weight goal for today / this past week –  there does seem to still be a trend downward…

So I picked up a new treadmill this morning (although at close to 300 pounds in the box “picked up” is maybe the wrong terminology….”heaved” maybe?) Took about 4 hours to disassemble and take out the old treadmill and then assemble and test the new treadmill after accounting for a lunch break, etc.  Probably would…

So I got around to taking a closer look at the treadmill – I couldn’t get a look at the deck without pulling apart a bunch of the treadmill first.  The deck has 2 layers – the top slick layer and the bottom particle board structural layer – you can’t really get a good look…

233 when woke up – close to -30 C with the windchill so ran inside on the treadmill since I knew this was going to be close to a 4 hour run today.  I want to lose weight but not by freezing various limbs off. 230.5 after the 20 mile run – total running time…
