Feliz Cinco De Mayo, es Domingo, y es una dia buena! I woke up after a few hours of sleep since I worked until 2300 last night. I went for a 6.7 mile run in 78 minutes today. I got 5 miles in the first hour then the last 1.7 I ran for all but 2 minutes of the 18 minutes. Final pace of 11:39 avg. I am really happy with that. It shows some improvement and that is all I ask for.
I have run 86 miles so far this year since I started keeping track in March. Holy cow..
Clothes I bought last year fit again, a little snug but getting there. Wife mentioned she thinks im losing more fat this time in the upper body, and that my friends is the goal. I am still eating what seems like a ton of food, but mostly protein based and lower on the carbs end. What carbs I do eat tend to be fruit sugars from my daily banana and other fruits. So my sugars tend to be high but then i laugh when I think back to when I drank 5 or 6 sodas a day. I almost bought a root beer yesterday until I looked and saw each soda had 45+ grams of sugar... in 12 ounces of soda!!! 8 oz of Odwalla blueberry super smoothie has 25 grams of fruit sugars and tastes every bit as good as a soda, and not empty by any means!
here is the new route I ran today:

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you start to notice when you track food and exercise. Definitely makes you think twice before having something!
