Labour of Love

Weight: 227.4lbs (-1.2)

Happy Canada Day!!!

June recap and hopes for July:

-Weight: started out at 230.4lbs on June 2nd, went up to 234.4 on June 14th which is when I actually started trying again and since then it's been a (mostly) steady decline to the current weight. So not too shabby depending on when you count from - 2lbs (ouch) or 6lbs (better). July will be better! I am hoping to get to 220lbs by the end of the month (it will be a struggle, but I'm determined).

-Running: Best month ever! I beat May's travelling distance (running+walking) by about 55km (total: 85.02km) and ran 36km more than last month (total: 46km). Also this left March and April in the dust. I ran 5km-straight twice and even ran on the treadmill when running outside was not an option. I also reduced my pace (on average) by 8 seconds. In July I am hoping to get a full 100km distance and over 50km of that I want to be running which is completely doable considering  I was only 4km off and that's without running at all for a good 11 days at the start of the month.

-Weight Training: non-existent. I did think about it a lot, but failed to turn it into any particular action. In July I would like to start actually growing these muscles. I am just not sure if I want to do it on opposite days of running or on the same days. Hmm... I guess I'll have to dive right in and see what works best.

-Life: kind of boring overall. Being unemployed, I had a lot of time to myself, but that will all change for July. I  almost have too much to do - so getting in the running will be a challenge I have to rise to. Even if it means running later in the evening or perhaps on the treadmill if necessary. I will have to contend with the start of a job, 5 plays, one weekend trip to Montreal. But work will honestly be the hardest part, I think.

Anyhoo... I went for my long run today already (+10km) and now it's time to relax and read....
