It’s been 4 months since I have posted a fitness related activity. I haven’t really done anything fitness related and fell back into old habits. At the peak of my fitness activities back in October, I was one run short of finishing W4 of the Couch to 5K program. and was down to 180lbs. Fast forward 4 months. I am back up to 195lbs, and once again, not eating properly.
I’ve decided to start the C25K program again (for the third time) and this time run it to completion. To ensure that, I have set myself a goal and signed up for the Forest City Road Road Race (5K) on May 2nd.
This time around, I have a couple of new things in my arsenal.
Due to the winter weather, and that I will be running in the snow, I received a pair of traction aids for my shoes over the holidays from my wife.
I also purchased the internet scale from Withings. A geeky purchase, but will allow me to track my progress. It works with RunKeeper and Weightbot for my iPhone. Withings also allows some great API access that I plan on using in the near future.
Week 1 Breakdown:
Starting weight: 195.0 lbs
Ending weight: 192.4 lbs
KMs run: 11.3KM
C25K – W1D1
C25K – W1D2
C25K – W1D3
Taking 4 weeks off has truly brought me back to Week 1. I found myself getting winded in the 60 second running portions. A far way off running 5 mins straight that I was doing last October.
