Week 13 - Weigh In Results

Back to work, hoping to break the plateau I have been on. I've gotten a lot encouragement coming back to work on how thin I look. Though, I know I can do better, and get back in the game in terms of the pace at which I was losing weigh before. Also need to be running 3-4 times a week for the next several weeks before I make the big push to train the 10 weeks prior to my half marathon on June 27th. Video is kinda long, I was a bit chatty.

Week 12 - Weigh In

Well, no video folks. I have maintaining my weight at around 216 pounds now for the last couple of week. Haven't seen it go above 220 in about 4 weeks. However, tomorrow is the day I go back to work. So, I am so ready for a regular schedule again.

I have roughly 18 weeks until the Fairfield Half Marathon on June 27th. My training schedule I am taking from a guy named Brad Boughman from his book "Half Marathon Rookie", he maintains an excellent website called Marathon Rookie. He has a 10 week training program for beginner runners of Half Marathons. However, he stresses the importance of not starting his 10 week training cold, but to take 8 weeks running for at least 30 minutes 4 times a week. Then at the 10 weeks will amp up your training to focus on endurance running. I was basically running for 30 minutes at a time before my shoulder injury.

So, tomorrow morning I am off to the Y to use their indoor track, or maybe even run around my block, since it's been a little warmer lately. I will post a video weigh in on Friday morning and go over how my runs went this week. Good to be back in action.

Day 55

Man...having an injury can really get you. Emotionally, physically...etc. I have been weighing in, but haven't been doing the video thing. My diet has its ups and downs, but without the benefits of a very good routine, I haven't found myself in quite the grove I was back at the beginning of January. My current weight is 216 pounds. It may be up from that, but it's been around there for the last three weeks. So, I've leveled a bit. I have gotten out to walk twice in the past week thanks to my Dad. Three miles last week, and four this week. It got me the chance to really test out the pedometer watch I got for Christmas, and to put on my running clothes. Gave me a taste again of what I have been missing. Also, I was able to take advantage of the the dry linear trail before the snow hit today. Looking forward to really getting into a pattern again and using the YMCA membership. I am officially signed up for the Fairfield Half on June 27th. I also have a 5k on April 18th and another 5k in New Britain in May. So, I really need to start keeping those in mind. For those of you following, I hope my backing off and healing from a shoulder injury as demodivated you at all. Please, stick to your goals. I noticed the other day that sporting clothing is 60% off right now, which seems like a good deal, but its a testimony to how diets fair by February in the US. Keep going everyone! :)
