The Road Back So Far (Week Eight)
Posted on Apr 05, 2008 under The Road Back So Far |I’ve got a ways to go with the weight loss, but it’s going well so far. I’m going to obviously hit a little plateau or two here soon and have to work to get through it (or them) on my way down to my goal weight. I just think I’ll generally be much better off, and especially able to run better, when I get down to a weight closer to what I used to be at.
I’m not having much difficulty with the transition to jogging for most of my workouts now. I’ll still force myself to keep to a walking warm-up, then jogging for what should normally be 2/3 of my workout time duration, and finish with a walk for a cool-down. This is progressive enough for me at this stage, and the full-day’s rest as recovery is working well for me, too.
Though I’m feeling stronger and my joints — especially my knees — are giving me less and less trouble, I still have a little trouble with them. Mostly, that comes a bit after my workouts or later in evening. Nothing like before, so this is a good sign.
Overall, I think I’m still making good progress. I’m pleased.
