Month: August 2013

Picked up my race packet tonight for the Cash Store Financial Freedom Run for Diabetes Research Half Marathon (that’s a mouthful) – race is Monday morning at 8 am – coming up fast. It should be an interesting race – it appears to be a 2 lap run with the 2 laps being about 10% different from…

223 when I woke up and 223.5 after evening run. Run tonight was 3.76 miles in 30 minutes at 1% incline on the treadmill.  I did the first 29 minutes at 7.5 mph and then 30 seconds at 8 mph and 30 seconds at 9 mph.  Run felt pretty good – completed the miles without…

Did a quick update of the links on the right side of the page – I cleaned out a fewthat hadn’t been updated in several months and hopefully tonight I will get around to adding some other Disney / running sites that I found.

223 when I woke up and 224 after run this evening. Still fighting against weight gain and retained water that I can’t seem to figure out – having issues today even though I cut back on pretty much everything that I have been eating so I’m not sure what is going on.  I will get…

223.5 when I woke up this morning and 224.5 after evening run. Had a big steak supper tonight with garlic toast and Caesar salad – way too much food. I did manage to get in the pool before supper for about a half hour but only really to float around. After supper I decided that…

I was kind of distracted with company, etc when I wrote my last 2 posts so they were a touch light on details and my thoughts on how things went on the weekend runs.  I figured I would do a weekend recap post to kind of cover that off. So I did the total scheduled…

222 when woke up and 217.5 after morning run. Run this morning 9 miles in 1:26:55 and temps were 21C (70C) and felt like 27 (81) when I started and 25C (77F) 32C (90F) when finished.  So still pretty toasty but not nearly as hot as yesterday morning. I had 13.1 miles on the schedule…

221 when woke up and 217.5 after morning run. Morning run was 9 miles in 1:27:30 outside in some crazy heat – when I left the house it was 24C (75F) and felt like 33C (91F) when I finished it was 26C (79F) and it felt like 36C (97F).  Despite the heat the run felt pretty good…

221.5 when I woke up and 223.5 after run Well it is a bit irritating that my weight actually went up over the course of the day – especially when the higher weight was even before supper tonight.  After the run my calves felt thick – I am retaining water which I think accounts for…

223.5 when I woke up this morning and 223 after the run this evening. Was 219 Monday, 219 Tuesday and 221.5 Wednesday – basically I have had a regression on my weight loss mostly due to eating out 2 nights in a row for supper.  Additionally I have been up late the past 3-4 nights which…
