Month: September 2013

216.5 when I woke up this morning and 218.5 after evening run and swim. So 216.5 is excellent – it’s a new low since I started this process last September – I haven’t been this low since 2005 at least – definitely a nice ego boost and shows I am doing something right.  I have…

218.5 when I woke up this morning and 217 after evening run Had a 0.16 mile warm up tonight in 2.5 minutes at 5% incline. Run was very good – actually managed to get into a zone on the treadmill which hasn’t happened in years – I rarely manage to get into a zone when…

I was 219 when I woke up this morning and 220.5 after the evening run. I’m not sure why the weight gain over the day but it should settle by tomorrow morning – I don’t think I ate anything too weird today but if things haven’t settled by tomorrow morning I will have to look…

So looking back at older posts I realized that I have crept up on year since I started the journey of getting back in shape.  I show my first run training for the 2013 Goofy Race and a Half Challenge occurring on September 5th, 2012 with a starting weight 257 pounds (although I show a…

218.5 when I woke up this morning and 215 after the morning run. Overall the run this morning went well although I had hoped to do another lap to get me up to approx. 17.5 miles but I realized as I was getting close to the end of the last lap the fuel I had…

I was 219.5 when I woke up this morning and 214.5 after I finished the run and mowed the lawn. I hit a new low on Friday morning – 217.5 – whoohooo!!! – making sure I pushed hard on the Thursday night training run certainly helped.  My weight was up this morning though mostly due…

219 when I woke up this morning and 218.5 after the run this evening. Before running tonight I did a 2.5 minute warm up walking at 5% incline – 0.16 miles. Run was extremely good – my wife was out tonight with friends and I didn’t get on the treadmill until after the kids were…

222 when I woke up this morning and was 219.5 after the run tonight. The run was very solid – maybe not the fastest but it felt very good and never felt out of breath or like I was struggling.  I did 7.37 miles at 1% incline in 60 minutes on the treadmill.  During the…

Just 3 minutes 43 seconds off of my personal best – now my personal best was in 2002 and I was 8 pounds lighter than I was Monday morning – so even though I did not catch my personal best it was definitely a victory on my path to getting back in shape. I was 223…

Today I ran the Cash Store Financial Freedom Run for Diabetes Research half marathon here in Winnipeg and did very well – training and improvements continue.  But I got a reminder lesson today near the end of the race from another runner about making sure you are running your own race to your own abilities…
