Boom Goes The Dynamite!

Just turn your computer sideways, you'll see it.

I've lost 101 pounds.

Just thought I'd share.

I'm only 26 away from my goal.

10K Finished! Come at Me, Crim!

Last Saturday I ran my 10K race in Owosso at the Curwood Festival. Here's a pic my wife took:

No participation medal this time? WTF?!

For comparison, here's how I looked when I did the 5K:

My transition lenses make me look like the devil, but at least my gut is smaller. :)

Anyway, because I missed out on running for a week, my run time was absolute shit. 1:12:00 for my run. If I hadn't taken a week off I would have placed in third, as the third place runner in my age group had done the run in exactly 60 minutes. I was on pace to beat that.

I don't normally care about placing in these races, but when you're that close, it hurts not to get the prize.

Oh well. I still ran 6.2 miles, which is something that just two months ago I couldn't do. And I'm going to continue pushing myself to be in better shape than I've ever been as the Crim race is less than eight weeks away. That's a 10 mile race.

I'm using the Higdon Half-Marathon Novice 1 program to prepare for this.
