End of April Weigh-in--here come those May flowers!
Good Monday morning, everyone!
I am happy to report that I am walking, NOT limping, today, after running my first half-marathon on Saturday. WOOT! We did it, 13.1 miles in the cold, windy rain. I even brought my finisher's medal to work today to show it off,
I didn't take it off at all on Saturday.
My weight is still up from last week--I took the carb-loading seriously, LOL. But I did actually burn quite a bit off--there's something wonderful to be said for a sport that burns almost 1500 calories in one race.
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 137.9
This week: 140.7
Gain of 2.8 lbs this week
Paul: since my knee was wonky mid-week, and I was tapering for the race, my mileage is down a bit. Of course, I do get to count Saturday. So run mileage for the week was 25 miles on the dot. I also did elliptical on one day for an additional 3.7 miles.
So everybody, we need to decide on a new 5K goal: The Twin Cities Mile has been suggested, also the Torchlight 5K in July. I also know there's a couple of free 5Ks coming up--Ben Davis will be in town with his "Do Life" tour on May 29th, and he'll have a free 5K run that evening. If you're not familiar with him, he lost 120 lbs on his own, started running and does motivational speaking. His website is: bendoeslife.tumblr.com/
There is also the Eagan 5K Your Way on May 19th. Check out www.cityofeagan.com/events for the scoop on that one. Lots of good kid activities at that event, too.

I made my goal this week to no longer be obese- yay!!!!!!! I was so close last week. This week I was down 2 more pounds and so have made the goal and surpassed it a bit which feels good. Next goal is 175, about 8 more pounds. I don't really have an end goal in mind, so at this point, we'll just see how things go I guess...
