Evaluating where I am at

Today I tried to run a 4+  It was more a 2+2.  My time was pretty sad, 1:20:03, pretty sad.   It was more of an endurance limitation though.  My first two miles were 29:21 which would get me through the half marathon.

Clearly, I need to get more distance running in.  If I cannot get my 4+ to under 50 minutes by the end of Lent then the 1/2 marathon in June may be too much.

As far as my weight, I hope that I can lose 15 lbs in 7 weeks.  Totally doable, maybe I can impress myself and lose 25, that is possible because I am cutting out a large portion of meat starting Wednesday.

That would be 3.5 lbs a week or 12250 calorie deficit per week or 1750 per day.  My current BMR is 2304.  That means I can eat only 554 calories per day plus whatever I burn working out.  Walking 3 miles a day will add 500 calories.  Add to that a general workout that will burn another 500 to 1000 calories and I think it can be done.

Weight: 255.0
