Running down the weight

So here I am, putting what is in my head on the interwebs.  My thought tonight is a lingering one about where I am in my fitness.  First off, if you have stumbled on my blog, a few things you must know. Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of starting to calorie count and maintain at least a 1,000-calorie deficit per day. Since December 1, 2019, I have lost 156 pounds, for a total of 176 pounds since last October.  While sensible eating has certainly helped, fitness, exercise and frequent running has helped the most. Last week, I ran a 10K in 1:04. Fourteen months ago, I struggled to just walk a mile or two.  My recovery from the 10K felt fast. I went out on Saturday and ran three miles. On Sunday, I trekked four miles. Even as recently as a month or two ago, a four-mile run would have had me gassed. But Sunday’s run was not exhausting. Not in the least.  So here is my dilemma. Where is my limit?  I am still a 240-pound man. We aren’t meant for distance running, even if I am 180 poun

Second virtual 10K in the books. Ran a time of 1:04:15! Hope everyone has a great day!!! Special thanks to all of our health care workers keeping our communities alive on this holiday! Jenna Boggs, Lisa Boggs   and   23 other

I love buying new clothes! But what stinks is that I am going to get so much use out of these clothes. If there is one small drawback to losing a lot of weight in a short timeframe, it is that you frequently buy and throw out clothes.
