Tracking the shit that I do.
1000m row 1+ mile treadmill, 1/4 mile run
STILL
205.8
Did ok yesterday except still to big portions at night. Only one sausage. No beer. lots of water. Need to keep it up.
208.3
Kashi for breakfast
Duty this week, good time to cut back on the beer. I predict much better weight next week.
207.5 SHIT
So it has been 11 months since I updated this.
So…
Still fat at around 200 lbs
Ran a 50k and 50 mile race though not well’
enjoy running, but would like it more if I was faster.
What do I want to do this year.
How do I get there/ what do I change
I will keep this up as a tracker.
Wish me luck.
Got cleared yesterday to work out again so I did.
Nothing exiting, but better than nothing.
2.5 miles 10:00/mile with walking
Bloody nose as I was warned could happen. Not much, about 10 mls from right nostril.
Can only get better from here!
Since it has been a while lets see what has happened.
Ran marathon, but I may have covered that.
Got a new Grandson – Ellise
Started new(temporary?) job in training. Not sure yet if I’ll stay
Did pretty well in fall/winter 5ks
Still fat
Got gall Bladder removed and my umbilical hernia fixed
Getting deviated septum fixed and Turbinate reduced
I lost weight after gall bladder surgery(go figure) but not recommend way to lose 10 pounds.
So what is next
Yea, lose more weight
Run trail 1/2 marathon end of April
Run 50k in June
Go to Rob Krar’s camp in July. Maybe, it is pricey
Another 50k later in summer.
JFK 50 miler in fall. Late November.
We shall see. Need to get through the stupid outage. My 19th.
Be seeing you!
Did It!!
Not pretty, but done. 4:46:55 or so. Shooting for 4:30 with stretch goal of 4:20.
The hotel was great (Hunt Valley Holiday Inn Express) and would stay again. 5 min from parking. Ate 2 servings of oatmeal and coffee
Got to parking with plenty of time, 5 min or so bus ride. Check in at the school was simple.
Weather: Freezing at start, around 42 or so at finish. Rain started around mile 23 but was never a factor.
Clothes: Tights, singlet, long sleeve tech, cap, hat and gloves. Cap came off right away, cycled gloves on and off (need lighter pair of gloves), could have done without tights.
Nice start since the start line is just outside the gym so you never get cold. Thought I started watch, but did not until the bottom of hill at 0.8 mile. Boo.
Everything went ok at the beginning; walked every aid station, gel(SIS) every other one, 4 total. No physical issues. Cruised along at around 10 min/mile. Did NOT look at watch a lot, ran by feel.
Started getting tired around mile 12 and feet started getting cold. You can see on my splits that at mile 16 things went south and stayed there, 11-12+ min miles and lots of walking. Feet hurt, which is weird since my feet normally do not have issues. Last 6 miles were tough. Except the last 0.2 which were easy.
Waited a LONG time for the bus, but did not feel like walking up the hill. Got back to school and they were breaking down the chairs. I thought that was a bit rude. They did have soup, but no water that I could see. Hung out for a bit and got on bus back to car.
Rough drive to Tysons. Heavy rain and slow traffic. Various muscle groups complained along the way. Walking around felt ok, but I was spent. Another rough drive home.
Sunday felt ok, quads sore for some reason, but did get better. I could have gone to work Monday with no issues.
Nice experience, would do it again. It is like doing a training run with a lot of people around. If you want a marathon with lots of cheering people along the way, NCR is not for you.
Looking to see what to do next.
