Pheidippides’s BodyBlog

With the resumption of my running and a few good days of eating carefully, I seem to have lost my extra holiday pounds, and I’m back where I was at the the time of my marathon run on Dec. 7.  Weight this morning: 173 pounds, down 4.6 pounds since I measured eight days earlier. Bodyfat: 17.2%, also down somewhat.  My waist measurement is also down a bit.

I still have a long way to go to reach my goal of 165 pounds on February 14, but at least now the goal looks hard rather than impossible.  The key, still, is really controlling what I eat, as well as getting back on track with regular running to increase my calorie burn.  I ran 9.4 miles on Sunday at about 8:40 pace, with one brisk interval of a a mile in 7:30.

Hawaii is less than 5 weeks away, so time to get cracking to get into swimsuit shape.
