cgerber - thanks for the Garmin advice. I will try it today! It did acquire when I was setting it up but never again after that and I'm trying to think if I was wearing it when I tried again to take it on my run. It may be so!<br>
I traded todays DOR for yesterdays run so I'm out for 3 or 4 this morning.<br>
Tomorrow is a new long run. Going to try 7.<br>
I have officially hit 40 lbs. lost since October 15th. I'm pretty excited about that, though I have about 30 to go. I hope to be rid of that before my first 1/2 marathon at the end of April.<br><br><br>

Congrats Techgirl - that's some majorly fast weight loss<br><br>
I wish I could get that motivated - I would love to be 50# lighter by 4/21 - But it would take a heroic effort that I do not think I can do.<br><br>
12 Miles this am with 3x (5 minutes hard / 5 minutes easy) at the end.<br><br>
I am thinking this week and next of lighter speed work and then it will be time to step it up a notch.<br><br>
Good Friday to all -

Thanks! I started with a 10 day master-cleanse and followed it up with a severely healthy modification to my diet. I stopped eating processed foods, sugar, table salt, caffeine, wheat and most red meat and I only drink water. As a result, I stopped craving foods and started dropping weight which I thought was going to be impossible now that I'm facing 40. But its actually coming off pretty rapidly.<br>
Do you have a race on 4/21?<br><br><br>

Wow! That's incredible! Nice job!!

 

[Flounder]

Exactly - I'm not that motivated to give up all that - Yet.<br><br>
4/21 is Boston -<br><br>
I think if all I did was drink H20 it would go a long way -<br><br>
I've lost weight fast before - I just am not ready for that kindof pain and suffering - Once I lost 87# in 90 days to take home $350.<br><br><br>

3.5 mile snowshoe "run" at lunch.<br><br>
Snowshoe running is a complete crock, I can't believe people do that for fun. It has to be the most miserable method of "running" I've ever done. My gigantic mountaineering snowshoes probably didn't help matters...

55 mins. of weights in the morning & 3.4 miles @ lunch. Thinking of doing a 5 mile race tomorrow -- depending on the weather.
