Month: February 2013

231 this morning when I woke up.  That makes a 5.5 pound difference since Monday morning (4 days) – so obviously that weird weight spike has mostly normalized but I will still have to watch it. 233.5 after a 3.58 mile run in 30 minutes tonight – only 1 minute of walking and most of…

233 this morning when I woke up – better but not quite back to where I was, let alone where I planned to be. 232.5 after 6.62 mile run in 60 minutes tonight.  Run felt pretty strong – I did 2 x 1 min walk, 1 x 1 min at 6 mph, total of 4.5…

235.5 this morning when woke up this morning – was 236.5 yesterday morning. Apparently my diet has gone to hell.  I don’t specifically see in my diet what is causing this issue beside maybe a little too much pop or potentially beer.  I really enjoy Blue Moon that you can only get in the US…

Feb 18 – 234 Feb 19 – 233.5 – did not run Feb 20 – 233 – 232.5 after 6.6 mile run in 56:10 – about 3 min of walking with lots @ 8 mph and around a minute total @ 9 mph or greater.  Planned mileage completed for the day. Feb 21 – 230.5…

So signed up for the Winnipeg Police Service Half Marathon this morning and the Manitoba Marathon full as well. For the WPS Half they have 2 waves that you can choose between and sign up for your specific choice.  This is the first year they have done this so I wanted to avoid any confusion…

232.5 when woke up and 231.5 after 7.25 mile run in 72:30. Should have done 10 miles but did not have the focus this morning – I took it slow expecting to do the full mileage so I was trying to conserve some energy.  Lesson learned – if not sure if I am going to…

I decided it was time to get some new running shoes for the treadmill and to cascade my other shoes. Last fall / early winter I had purchases a set of Nike Vomeros but I found they didn’t work quite right for me (felt like my stance was too far back on my heels) so…

233 when I woke up – 232 after 6.6mile run later in the afternoon. 233 on Friday morning and 230.5 Thursday morning.  Did not run Thursday night – we went out to Boston Pizza for supper – pizza and beer are apparently not very good weight loss foods. Run today was done later in the…

In a previous post I indicated that I will counting 233.5 as my starting weight for the next round of training and weight loss.  In the previous round I started at 257 making a 23.5 pound weight loss for the training period for the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge in January 2013. For this…

231.5 when woke up – that’s better. 232.5 after 4 mile run in 33:40.  Not sure why the weight gain – didn’t eat anything unusual that would have generated a gain today so I will have to see what happens tomorrow morning. Run was very solid – most of the running was at 8 mph…
