Run, AND Walk

The weather is beautiful here in the Midwest. I've enjoyed have so many opportunities to run outside and make use of my favorite Christmas gift -- the Garmin Forerunner that Jenelle bought me. This morning, I logged a new personal best for a ten-kilometer run. I averaged 8:28 per mile for a finishing time of 52:40. I'm excited that I continue to improve, but there's still a long way before I am ready to run 26.2 miles. I haven't officially signed up yet, but I'm leaning towards participating in Milwaukee's Lakefront Marathon on Sunday, October 2nd.

As for my weight, I am holding steady at 175. I haven't been overly cautious about my diet over the past month or so. As long as I keep exercising, I don't think my weight will be a problem. As marathon time draws sooner, I might try to drop five more pounds, but it's not really necessary. I'm just thinking that it would be easier to lug 170 pounds over 26.2 miles instead of 175. More to come....
