Nike + GPS is rocking my world. I get times, pace, distance and encouraging words. Makes the iphone 4 this weeks most useful training aid. I have managed 4 runs in a week and I have lost 4 pounds. I should point out that there has been some pretty lean eating going on. Tuna salad, no mayo, minimal olive oil dressing and no additional carbs. Target weight is 16 stone.
So joy of joys I am starting to fit back into clothes that I had always thought I was hoarding never to wear again. Don't get me wrong I still have what i believe the ladies call muffin tops (lads call them love handles) but I am getting there. Todays run was my first 5k run in a while and I managed 6 minute kms which is not bad as there was a big ole hill right in the middle of the route.
I will change route to see if I can get a decent 5 k time down but the hill stays in the training program at least once a fort night to try and strengthen up my running. In other good news the bike is fixed and we'll probably be doing a 30 miler once a week...who know I might start swimming and enter a triathlon. Summer is not so far away and it could be a bit of a giggle.
