Welcome to another Monday morning weigh-in featuring yours truly. If you remember from last week I had created a spreadsheet to chart my weight loss. This week I'm happy to report that I'm right on target at 258.5 lbs which is exactly what I had predicted in my calculations. I think I'll tweak the spreadsheet to include actual weight loss and +/- from week to week.
Tuesday marks the end of my four week beginner's running program. It culminates with a full thirty minute run which I feel is well within my grasp. On Sunday I ran four laps of the park in 27.11. I was only supposed to run 25 minutes but I really wanted to get a full four laps completed instead of 3.5. I need to pace myself better over these longer distances as I started a little to strongly and was burned out though the third lap although I was able to recover during the fourth lap with a final burst of speed. Check out the numbers.
Lap 1 6.33
Lap 2 6.34
Lap 3 7.10
Lap 4 6.52
I still don't have a plan for the next month but I'm sure I'll have a training regime in place to train for the Bay and Back 5K at the end of March next year.
