“I’m ROOTING for you”

Damn.

Today’s run was too fast and too inconsistent for a tempo. That’s why I was bitchin. But yeah, what a terrible problem to have.

Yeah corney as hell. 45 isn’t crazy out of reach; you’ve got a month to get some good workouts in.

Im a big fatty at 5'11" (wish I could say I was 6') and about 188. I've been bouncing between 185 and 190 for the past two months while I've been doing this HMTT. Monday through Friday I do pretty well, and then the wheels fall off on Saturday and Sunday and I eat and drink back all the weight I lose. Wash, rinse, repeat.

My goal has been to get down below 180, so maybe after next weekend I will get back to tracking food and not rewarding my big run days with unrestricted caloric intake.

5’10 and 165-170. Built like a line backer, not a runner.

I’m a former 240 lb. guy. Even though I’m in the best shape of my life I’m still flabby. I don’t know if I can remove my love handles without cosmetics.


All that being said.... 13.1 tonight. Would have been my best half but my wife called with an emergency and I lost my key to my car at some point and had to backtrack to find it.

I took my 11 month old on her first trick or treat last night. Bad idea. Haha. Just candy laying around the house now. Those mini snickers are the devil.

That’s awesome man. Smallest I’ve beem since about the same time probably

53 miles so far this week. I got after it this morning. Walked for almost 3 hours at an amazingly shitty pace but got in over 9 miles. Was misty/ rainy the first half, and then windy as all hell the second half making it cold AF. I walked all the over this little town and was pissed I couldn't walk by the Bay more than I did because the wind was awful. On pace for a PR in miles for the week which I should hit by tomorrow

First post in this thread. I am coming off a 1.5 year injury layoff due to achilles tendonitis. Started carefully running again in the spring, while also biking and swimming. The summer sucked but with the the cool weather I am now starting to see training times approach my pre-injury levels. Today was a 5 miler, 8:18 pace with last mile in 7:38. I want to run Turkey Day 5 miler under 40:00, so this bodes well. I am 5'8", 167 lbs; down from 188 in January. Thinking of running the Rock N Roll half in February, and maybe a full next fall if I can avoid tearing my achilles or other major injury. Running post 50 yrs old is a dicey proposition.

5'9 165lbs, down from a couple years back at 265lbs
