Notes:
Gained 1-lb for the week but not bad since I had 3-full eating days. I can tell gout is trying to get me but no big attacks right now. Hope to keep it at bay and keep running. The green in the graph doesn't mean I'm constantly eating but shows when I started and when I stopped for the day approximately.

Not bad at all

1 pound after three full eating days is a mega victory. Congrats and keep it up! 0

Ran a 5k this morning (feet are doing ok). Ran 26:49 which is 8:39-min/mile pace. That is 2-sec/mile slower than my best 5k last fall on a flat course. Today's course had some hills (those things kill me!) so I'm in a little bit better shape now than where I left off last fall so that makes me happy. Went through first mile in about 7:37 (slight downhill) and then kind of blew up after that. I need to pace myself better and put some more miles in! Hope everyone has a good day!2

Thanks, will do!0 -
Have you ever had any side effects from taking gout meds? My cousin just had 3 seizures and a brain aneurysm and they are thinking that the gout meds caused them so they are taking him off them for now.0

Maybe that's what's wrong with me! I haven't noticed anything. I take allopurinol daily and I take indomethicine and colchicine when I have a flair up. Those last two do have some potential serious side-effects but I haven't noticed any. I only take those when needed though. What was your cousin taking if you know?0 -
I'm not sure what he was taking, he came home from the hospital yesterday and will have to take it easy for 4 weeks. It just sucks that we take meds to help heal us and they can hurt you at the same time

I guess he had just started taking prednisone that day so I'm sure that's what caused it.0 -
I did a 5K yesterday too! (Well, walked it). Hope you have a good week moving forward. Good luck with the medication situation.0

Thanks and good on you for the 5k!0 -
Wow, just caught up with your thread Bob, you're doing great - glad the gout is under control now...0

Had a good run today. 1-mile warmup, 5x50-m strides, then on treadmill; 1xmile@8:00-min, 1x3/4-mile @ 8:00-min/mile pace, 1x1/2-mile @ 8:00-min/mile pace all with 1/4-mile walk in-between, 4x200m at 7:00, 6:40, 6:20, and 6:00-min/mile pace all with 100-m walk in-between, rest, 1.5-mile easy jog. 5.5-miles total. I'm hoping to add a lot of 8:00-min/mile pace work in to help with the 5k series I will be participating in (that is my goal pace).1

Great work!

You're doing awesome, Bob! That's so inspiring that you're working towards a 5k. I used to do a bit of running during undergrad... might have to try to get back into it! 0
-
Doing great as always!0

Thanks all!
Dropped 1-lb this week and am at 193. I had two splurge days last weekend and that slows me down. I need to do a stretch of no splurge days and I think I will make some good progress.1 -
That is still an awesome loss!0
-
You continue to impress!0
-
I'm glad your gout seems to be improving and you're back out there!
I know I am late, but I would LOVE to see pictures from your ski trip! I love the mountains and skiing, though I am now a South Florida weather wimp.0 -
Yahoo another pound 0
-
Woo hoo, another pound down! I'm reaching a point where if I'm not down at least 3 pounds by the end of month #2, I'm considering removing my splurge days (or drastically cutting their frequency from 1x/week to 2x/month. 0

Really good run today in the foothills by the mountains (on paved road) with some little snow flurries. Was hard with a lot of long hills. 5.56-miles @ average pace of 9:45. Watch said was 842kcal but had to be closer to 1000kcal due to all the hills. Now I have a TDEE of a little over 3000kcal for the day, lets see, what will I eat!5

Took a couple of hours off work today at the end and went skiing. Was great conditions. Was a lot of fun!2
-
That sounds awesome!0
-
So what did you end up eating?0
-
With so many calories left to eat, you could have had a feast! You're doing amazing.0
-
Bob, you really are amazing and so active! I don't know how you do it.0

Yay for 193!0
