A lot easier to stay in shape than to get back in shape!

Week 4: Starting Wt - 219lbs, ending Wt - 218

15.2 miles total

I have started using an online Running Log (runningahead.com) and their grouping for a week is different from what I was doing. I've been posting from my manual data keeping, but it is easier just to convert and use their's.
Hence the update. Any future will be taken from their record.

Keep going! Good luck

I can almost smell it!
The older I get the more convinced I am that pizza is one of the essential food groups.

Pizza and beer is like staple food around here. Always have it on hand.

I don't think I was ever in shape to begin with, but I did run 5 miles everyday before school for a year. Wasn't kind on the knees so I switched to swimming. Now my thighs are 20% bigger than what they were originally and I can barely fit into my skinny jeans. >_>" Does wonders for my gluteus maximums though.

That's where beer really helps. It adds weight out front to balance all the additional muscle.

As an aside, my youngest went to Geneva late last year and asked if I would like her to bring me anything back. Thanks to her, I have a fliptop (ceramic and rubber washer cam seal) sitting in my fridge awaiting a special occaision.

Week 5

Week 4: Starting Wt - 218 lbs, ending Wt - 218

16.9 miles total

No weight loss this week, but I'm tightening up so I figure muscle gain is offsetting fat loss (or at least thats what I tell myself )

Thanks for the update. Yeah...I was going to say the same thing about the weight loss this week (muscle weighs more than the other stuff)!

Looks like the weekly mileage has increased a little this week as well!

Way to go...keep it up!

Week 6

Week 4: Starting Wt - 218 lbs, ending Wt - ?

8.6 miles total

Mileage down because of travel. My weight is probably up from eating like a pig!
Between the corned beef, bagels and beer I figure I gained back a pound or so, will see at my next weigh in. Oh well, I enjoyed it. ;D

Week 7

Week 7: Starting Wt - ??, ending Wt - 217

20.2 miles total

Looks like I am back on track after a challenging week due to travel and gluttony.

I've always been jealous of people that run, I've never been able to get into it since no matter what I tried, I always get shin splints.

I was a swimmer most of my life through up through undergrad and now I mostly cycle when I can. My shins probably aren't used to much impact so that might be part of the issue.

I tried cycling and liked it, but where I live you have to have a death wish to do a lot of it. No road margins and pickup trucks that don't feel obligated to share the road with human powered transport.

Very nice! Great to see you back on track...and congrats on "cracking" the 20 mile weekly total.

Thanks, Nick.
My long run is up to about 7 miles, which helps a lot.

Yeah, we're lucky here. We have a system of parks that ring the city for about 80 miles all together. Really pretty to ride in and there are separate trails from the main road. Not that I ride the whole 80 miles.

That is really awsome!
If it wasn't for the snow and ice I would be really tempted to move north and join you.
