Fitness 2015

Right, but if you 'lived' in the metric system your entire life, you would.

Agreed, probably.

But maybe there's something about a mile, it is after all 2000 Roman paces or is it 1000 double paces?

[Valmy]

Hey on that point we can agree.  It's absurd that we aren't using the metric system here.

Amen man.  Amen.

[mongers]

Popped out late to pay a quick visit to the sea, 22-23 miles ok, beginning to get a bit of fitness back, now using more of the bigger gears to get some strength back.   

Tomorrow, there's an hour or two weather window amongst the the wind and rain, maybe I'll be able to do something a bit further in the opposite direction?

Last night I was planning on going for a run after dinner. But I ate way too much, and thought: "I'll just get up early in the morning and run then."

So far this is a fairly routine story. But then something happened that has never happened before: I got up early and went for a run.

I lost five pounds while I was in San Francisco.  Guess it was all that walking.  Also, I didn't see too many fatties out there.  Coincidence?

[Valmy]

I have lost 11.2 pounds on my diet so far

Only 48 to go

Trying out some new tyres today, so did 30 odd miles in the late afternoon; quite pleased with how they handle and for that matter how I did too.

Back down around my best times last fall on elliptical. 1 mile at 7:58, 3 miles at 26:29.

Even 2 miles of walking tires me out, very much.

Lost a stone

Target's to lose another 1-2, but I seem to have hit a wall

I ran one lap in the local park today (~4km). First one since it was way more green. Legs hurt but I feel very good about it though.

Being trying to do 30-odd miles most early evenings, say two day on, one off, but on Sunday coming back from a ride, I thought I'll slow it down a bit, so kept up a moderate pace, but it was into a rather keen, cold South'Esterly and since I wasn't generating so much heat, I caught a chill. 

Feeling a little better this morning, had to go into the conurbations, so took the bike and did a round trip of 23-24 miles, now feeling better, but a long way, figuratively and literally to fitness I'd like to regain.

Down two kilos in two months. The trainer believes I should be doing better than that, and has mandated me an even more punishing fitness program. Main difference is that I'm doing less weight for more reps, in longer sessions.

I also should probably eat a bit less too

Today the menu is deadlifts. Been progessing nicely on my lifts these last couple of months.
