Last Run of 2017?

Five and a half weeks since my last run (in Toronto) and with those extra Christmas pounds to shift in the run-up (ho-ho!) to my wedding. More of a tun-walk-run than a proper run, but with my knee in a brace it was better safe than sorry.

That’s a Weight Off My Mind!

Well it appears that the last time I weighed myself was November 3rd. So having massively overdone it this Christmas – three, yes, three, Christmas Dinners – I’ve only gained 2½lbs.

Still, that sets my benchmark for 2018 and gives me a goal of losing 7-10kg by the summer. No pressure…

-1.1°C and -6°C with windchill with a sprinkling of snow, mixed in with manflu. Still nice to get out before a long day ahead.

After a couple of weeks off for manflu – still not shifted that – it was back to the run commute.

Weight is down 0.7kg from the last weigh-in.

Quite warm tonight, so my choice of shirt and jacket – as it was dark and trying to rain – meant it was very warm.

Weight is up a massive 3oz from Monday 🙂

After working out earlier in the week, this was my first run since coming back from Fuerteventura. Dididn’t feel too bad, but lots of – ahem! – “interval traing”, shall we say 🙂

Weight is down 3.3lbs since Monday … which is nice.
