It’s a slow process, but it’s progress in the right direction.\u00a0 My running continues to come along.\u00a0 I had a great workout yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In June, a buddy asked me to come to Tahoe to pace him in his first 100 mile run, the Tahoe Rim Trail.\u00a0 I despirately wanted to go, but because of my fitness, I was not comfortable telling him yes right away.\u00a0 I asked him to let me get one of my benchmark workouts in over the weekend and let him know after that.\u00a0 Well, that workout did not go well.\u00a0 A course I’ve run in under 2 hours(in perfect, cool weather), and usually 2:15 to 2:20 in mid-summer conditions, took me just over 2:50 on that June workout.\u00a0 Not only that, but I’d planned on doing that loop twice.\u00a0 Just couldn’t do it.\u00a0 Based on that, I had to turn him down, and miss being part of his first 100 mile run.\u00a0 It killed me, but it motivated me.\u00a0 I’ve run that same loop every other weekend since then, and yesterday clicked it off in 2:23, and still had plenty of energy to play some baseball with William afterwards.<\/p>\n
That’s a great step forward.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I’ve not done so well on the weight loss side of things, a week of vacation, with ‘pre-vacation’ and ‘post-vacation’ excuses, and I’ve\u00a0not lost an ounce in 2 1\/2 weeks.\u00a0 I have had a lot of good beer though!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
