Well, today I cranked out a 7 mile run. It was down hill, which is why the pace was so good (well, so good for me). I have less than three months till the half marathon and based on today's performance, I am encouraged. I am also in a lot of pain! Ibuprofens are my friend today. Mostly my quads, calves, and achilles from the downhill run. Was hot - 85 degrees and somewhat humid - 40%. None-the-less, I am over halfway to my goal of the half marathon. During this ordeal, I have now lost 30 pounds and have hit my secondary weight loss goal of 30 pounds (original was 25 pounds). I am now shoot for a buck seventy five (175) and will call it good. My pant waist size has gone from a "snug" 38" to a snug 32 inch waist. I feel so much better! It has been hard, but so far so worth it.
My wife has been such a great support to me over the past 7 months - thank you sweetie 😘💘💘
Well, that is my update. Yes, I'm still going and will continue to go. This has been a nice little journey. I hope your journey continues, whatever it is. Until next time, happy trails to you.
