Eating more, and more often

Posted on May 14, 2010 by Jason

After I shed the initial 5-7 pounds, I stopped losing weight.  Lately, I’ve been eating more, and more often, including more carbs and fats.  …And I’ve been dropping pounds again.  So weird.

It continues

Strength P90 exercise yesterday, cardio + abs today.  (I picked that instead of running today.  I was barely treading water on week 4, and fear week 5.)

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Jason

Having completed week 4 of Couch to 5k, I am about half done. And the pattern remains: if I run on the day after I do a P90 routine, it’s torturous.   Like, legs saggy and completely without energy after … Continue reading →

A pattern emerges

Posted on May 9, 2010 by Jason

Whenever I do the strength workout video (Power 90): 1. Kinda sore the next day, but not so much to avoid running.  But after I start, the run is really slow, a little painful, inspires scenarios of quitting half-way through. … Continue reading →

Busy day

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Jason

0. Had poker last night, got home and asleep around 2am. 1. Brief appearance at next door neighbor boy’s 5th birthday at a park in Campbell.  I ran for about 4 minutes across the park to fetch the car.  Neat. … Continue reading →

Critical update: not sore today

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Jason

Did an evening run last night, round about 8pm, had some post-run nutrition.  I can tell that I ran, but I’m not at all sore, near as I can tell.  Yay. In case you’re wondering: yes.  YES, this is ‘portnt … Continue reading →

That was not easy.

Posted on May 3, 2010 by Jason

Just did the last of the week 3 runs.  Each one has gotten harder.  Unexpected.  I’m not sure if it has to do with starting the Power 90 thing after the first run, or a build-up of fatigue on my … Continue reading →

Couch to 5k, week 3 run 2

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Jason

Back (about 2.5 weeks ago, lo, in ancient times) when I started C25k, that’s all I was doing.  And it was not too easy at first; I really started from, if not the couch, then the office chair.  Earlier this week, … Continue reading →
