My second edition in just under a week and I have some things to share with you. First off, I want to share with you that I am down a total of 16.4 pounds and it does feel great. I got up yesterday morning and went out for my walk/run and got in 3.18 miles in 50:38 with pace of 15:55. That is slower than my workout yesterday but my course wasn't as flat either.
I also burned my 9,988th calorie yesterday and made it past the 75 mile mark for a total of 77.5. Looks like I'm going to hit the 100 mile mark before the end of the year. I never thought this was a possibility when I started walking almost two months ago.
I had to delay the start of my C25K program because I had a sore leg and couldn't walk or run because it hurt so bad. I did walk a couple of days with no running but picked the running back up on Wednesday. I don't have a date that I want to start the C25K program but it probably won't be long.
The last thing that I wanted to share with you was the GPS that I'm using now. I was very active in ham radio several years ago and kind of got out of it and decided to sell one of my last hand held radios on eBay. I did and got enough money to purchase the Garmin Forerunner 405. I've used it now for a few runs and wouldn't want to run without it now. It's much liter than the iPhone and I don't have to worry about sweating and ruining my iPhone. I like the fact that I can customize the screen with the information that I want to see during my workout. The defaults worked good for me. I want to see the time, distance, and the pace of my current lap (currently auto laps every mile) so I know if I need to speed up or not. Runkeeper would only tell you the overall pace of your workout.
Thanks for stopping by and if you have any comments be sure to leave them below. Thanks again and I will see you again here soon.
