Not my best time but…

Posted on September 24, 2009 by larry

Ran a 2 mile this morning.  That is the only workout I will do today and boy is it tiring.  My time was bad, 28:39.84, but today is technically a rest day and I was supposed to run1 walk 1 when I actually ran both miles,  furthermore it is dark, the first mile was kind of hard seeing where I was stepping,  add to that my shoes weren’t feeling right, like they were slipping off and I had to stop to tie my shoes, and finally, I did not wait long after taking those Lipo 6 pills so I felt like throwing up.

Still, I finished strong.

Last week this time I was 265.4, I dropped to 262.0 that Saturday.  I got a good workout scheduled tomorrow, and Friday I run a 4+.  Maybe I can crack 260 this week.  If I do, I will have such a boost to my self esteem.

Weight: 264.6

Strain on my body

Posted on September 23, 2009 by larry

I feel really tired today, but I am goign to drive on. 

The schedule change,  lack of sleep (from the night before), and so much things to do is taking its toll.

Anyway, today I got another gym workout, but tomorrow is supposed to be a low workout day.  Should be a simple 1 mile run and 1 mile walk.  Also catching bus.

So since today is a gym day, my weight is preworkout.

Weight: 264.2

Whoa, what happened to my weight

Posted on September 22, 2009 by larry

I am kind of surprised at the scale reading this morning, but as usual, I am not worried.

I think the prior weight where I was under 263 were anomolies because of dehydration.

I think my true weight is 264-265.

Got a gym workout this morning, 4 miles on treadmill.  Need to find a way to add 2 miles walking.

Weight: 266.4

Switching schedules

Posted on September 21, 2009 by larry

Life happens, got duties at work, commitments to my kids education, birthday parties.  So I am switching schedules.

Also, I am on the hook to burn an access of 1500 calories per day.  From now till I hit 250, I am going to say that my BMR is 2,300 and a mile run or walk burns 200 calories just to make calculations easier.  So if I stick to a 2000 calorie diet plus running or walking 6 miles a day, I should make it.

But I got some maintenance duties at work, my kids school function and a birthday party to attend.  I’ll figure something out.

This morning I ran a 2 mile (or 2 laps which is more than a mile each) my time was 27:05.23, gonna hit gym later.  If I do 3 miles in gym + gym work, that should do it.

Weight: 262.6

Getting darker at night

Posted on September 20, 2009 by larry

I ran a 4+ today as scheduled.  Unfortunately I forgot to start the stopwatch.

But it is getting darker.  Daylight is getting scarce and it is about to get worse.  Fall equinox is in 2 days and it will be worse.

Anyway, on a brighter note, I today is a special day.  It is the 3 month mark of my training.  I will publish a special page today, on my status.

Weight: 263.0

Puyallup Fair didn’t set me back as much

Posted on September 19, 2009 by larry

This is a late post but I did run a 4+ earlier today.  Decent time, 53:37, it would have been a new record if it weren’t for 2 fairly long stop lights.

We went to the Puyallup Fair yesterday.  Boy did I pig out on earthquake burgers, fries, ribs, corn, bar b q chicken, elephant ears, ice cream.   Man I was full.

I thought it would have an extremely negative impact on me today.  It did in that when I woke up, it felt like I was drinking last night and my stomach was upset.

To my surprise, my weight was decent, and this is official.  New record, pretty sure.  If I crack 258 by next Friday, I would say my chances of making weight is better than good.

Weight: 262.0

New Records and still not done for the day

Posted on September 18, 2009 by larry

Ran another 4+ today, I had a pretty good time, the fastest since I started timing it with my watch,  51:31.

I think I did go under 50 minutes once, but today I will call this the record because the other was timed with my blackberry which did not give seconds.

I still have more to go today because I have a gym session.

Today’s weigh in is a record as well.  But here is the cavaet, I feel dehydrated.  So if I am going to make my 250 in 5 weeks, the weigh in is gonna probably be when I am dehydrated.

But in 5 weeks, even at 15 lbs away I can still make it… cool thing is… I am not 15 lbs away.

Weight 263.2

Running in the dark

Posted on September 17, 2009 by larry

So today I was supposed to run only 1 mile and walk 1 mile because it is  a rest day.  I ended up running the entire 2 miles.

Anyway, it is getting pretty dark, I started my run at 5:40 AM, got back about 6:20.  Kind of slow for two miles, but it was dark, and I forgot my watch so the time actually was when I left and returned to the house.  Not when I started my run, because there is some travel from my home to the route.

Anyway, working early again today, so got to get to work, but it is cool because I am going home early.

The rest of today will be a rest day.  Tomorrow will be awesome.

The weight I think is a record.  Tomorrow I hope to break it.

Weight: 265.4
