Holiday Backslide!

Early January...

I'm sweating more. My heart-rate is climbing faster than normal when running making me take breaks. I'm not giving up but shouldn't this be getting easier? I hate running. Hate it. No fun at all. I guess that's what happens when you gain 15 pounds over the holidays.

Last week....

There we go. ((26 / 60) * 5.2) + ((4 / 60) * 6.0) + 2.6 + 2.7 = 7.95333333. What's that? That's the number of miles I ran last week. Still a PITA but just powered on through.

Today...

Down to 248-point-something. The trend lines look good. My calorie intake is 1700ish a day and I'm still slowly making progress. Mild foot pain 20 minutes in to the run yesterday so stopped at about 1.7 miles. Walked for an hour last night after work and all seemed fine. We'll see how the run tomorrow morning goes.

You made it back to your pre holiday weight! Congratulations. I can't imagine running inside the way you do...but then we don't have those icy winters out here. It was great to run in the rain because I never got hot. In warm weather, I ran with a flashlight before the sun came up because I'd get lightheaded when it was hot. During my runs I always felt connected to nature. I wonder if the road along the shoreline might be nice to try when the weather warms up and the ice melts. Actually, I never really liked the running part so much either, but I felt great when I finished. Nature made the run itself more tolerable. ttylal
