Sunday Run - 13 km

Wearing my lucky shirt, and waterbelt today! What a difference of losing almost 20 pounds makes, in both clothing, and just running!

Went out for 13 km run with my group. My longest run to date since after my injury. I felt great!!! We conquered a very long uphill. I was SO glad to see the top of it! The rest was beautiful. Also, I wore my new runners. Awesome!

My lucky shirt fits again (a bit snug) and my water belt that I love fits again! I am super happy about that!

I also weighed myself this morning, and yesterday morning and I have dropped some pounds which is also a bonus! I am weighing in today, instead of tomorrow morning. I am always a lot more hungry on Sundays after the longer runs :D

This week is my last week of this ten clinic. I am not sure where to go from here. I will be making some running goals/decisions this week. Saturday is my 10 km race. I hope to do it in under 1 hour. I don't think I will beat my pb. I am OK with this. I am just happy to RUN!

The weight details:

Was: 175.8

Current: 173.6

Down: 2.2 pounds

Starting weight January 4th = 192 pounds

Total pounds lost to date: 18.4 pounds

28.6 pound to go until goal weight of 145 pounds

The run details today:

13.03 km

This weeks #500in2010 total is: 27.36 miles

Friday and Saturday

There have been troubles with blogger for the last couple of days for me! I am still here!

I haven't run since Wednesday night. I have been fighting a cold, and sore throat. So, I loaded up on the Oil of Oregano and so far so good. I also chose not to run. Thought I would conserve my energy.

However, I have still got my daily walking in.

Yesterday, back and forth to school. 2x = 2 km

And today, walking around the mall etc, running errands 2 km. I make it a point to park far away and get my exercise in!

So, for Friday and Saturday = 4 km or 2.48 miles

#500in2010 = 2.48 miles

I am feel good today, after a good long sleep, and a bit of a sleep in I feel awesome. I am looking forward to my 13 km run tomorrow morning!

Next week, I am back on track!

P.S. I also bought jeans in size 11 (down one size) and I bought shirts in size medium. Obviously I am losing more on the top than the bottom. The bottom is always harder with all of my loose skin to tuck into my pants. I think I would be smaller on the bottom with a tummy tuck :D

Thursday

Well, I thought this would be the week I would kick it up, but my body has different plans. I am fighting a wee cold. Hopefully it turns into NOTHING. So, I have decided to not run tonight. And, hopefully get out tomorrow night. *fingers crossed*

Did some walking today. 2.5 km with the kids back and forth to school.

#500in2010 = 1.55 miles

Wednesday 7 km

I am getting a bit of a stuffy nose. I felt OK on my run however. Running pretty much always makes me feel better!

Purchased myself some new runners tonight as well. It was time! So, tomorrow my feet will feel like they are running on little pillows.

#500in2010 = 5.07 miles

Tuesday

Tonight is a clinic night. I still have to register for my 10 km race weekend after next!

Last night we had fast food. We ate Burger King. I loved eating it, but afterwards I felt really gross. And still do today. No more burger/fries/onion ring splurges anymore. Yuck. Not worth it.

So, today I stared to feel better when I walked back and forth to school. Did an extra little loop too, with my little girls.

I will update this post tonight...toodles. OK, back to update.

I registered for the race. Cannot wait to run it!

My run tonight:

8.88 km

58:49 time

788 calories

Avg 6:37

Max 4:51

+ My morning loop of 2 km

#500in2010 8.88 + 2 km + 10.88 km = 6.76 miles

Monday Weigh In

Isn't kind of a bummer when I ran over 27 miles this week (43+ km) and all I lost was .2 pounds?!

Oh well. I feel bloated, and figure it will go away this week. Maybe I will lose a couple of pounds?

My weight today (dropped into 175 yay!) 175.8 pounds. 30.8 pounds left to lose.

Well, anyways. I enjoyed this week. Had a treat or two.

This week, I am going to work ever harder! Watch out #500in2010!!

P.S. We walked about 3 km yesterday (Sunday) afternoon as a family = 1.86 miles yesterday afternoon #500in2010 (so, I will add that to this weeks total, as I submitted my miles in already for Sunday total)

And then yesterday, I walked 2.5 km. = 1.55 miles

Monday #500in2010 = 3.41 miles total
