Run Your Ass Off

Just back in from first run in … how long?

I didn’t do the math.  It’s been a while.  But at last I’m sitting here, dripping with sweat, finally back in from my first run in a long time.

I weighed in this afternoon at 230 lbs.  That’s a mid-afternoon weight, after sitting around snacking on some almonds, pistachios, dry fruit, and two rice cakes.  A bit much, but a better diet than I was used to a while ago.  I’m three weeks into the Seattle Sutton plan.  Met her in Park Forest when she did a presentation for us.  You can read all about that here.

But I’ve pretty much been sticking with her plan. She convinced me.  So, I’m on the 2,000 calorie a day plan, and will be next week as well.  Then I may drop to the 1,200 calorie plan.  I’d like to lost those first 10 lbs., the ones that are supposed to be the easiest to lose.

I also plan to start Joe Baska’s training plan for the Park Forest Scenic 10 tomorrow.  Tomorrow is just “cross training,” so I’ll take the dog for a brisk walk

The dog was with me today for this jog/walk.  We covered 2 miles in just over 30 minutes, but that was with his stopping to do his thing.  I’ll try a few runs without him this week.

And I’m running blind.  No GPS.  And I’m not buying one until I’m sure I’m going to stick with it.  Too many gadgets, not enough running.
