Well done. CongaRats… 😂

Short answer is you would be seen as being in a prediabetic state with the numbers you've listed for your fasting check. Below 100 is considered to be normal. Don't be so down as long you maintain a healthy overall lifestyle you'll keep the effects and full blown diabetes at bay. After you see your endo they'll hopefully…

Have shifted to early morning jogs. Usually trying to be on the rode before 7. Well I’ve done last 2 days past 8:30 and just enough sun to give me the sweat band tan across the forehead. Oh well stare away and have a laugh people…

Congrats

Walking is a great thing to do. It has to start slow. As time goes on and you become healthier you should speed it up and get even more benefits. You'll be surprised that walking @4 mph pace will yield you similar burned cals of a 5-7 mile jog. So no need to jump into jogging immediately if at all. As you drop weight you…

Piecing together from your replies and making a few assumptions. Your in a no go plateau due to possibly a combination of eating cals to be in maintenance, and while gaining strength probably adding some muscle weight as well. Retention of water will be impacted by your thyroid and strength training. This will slow things…

Got a 5k or 3.1 miles done with an Avg. Pace of 8'43''/MI. Additionally I did it with an Avg. Cadence of 177 SPM and managed to maintain an Avg. Heart Rate of 148 BPM. For a guy about to turn 52 in 24 days hey I'm going to take it as a nice NSV. I sat on a park bench and enjoyed the moment afterwards. Still had over a mile…
-
Not sure if it’s a proud NSV moment. But it is an NSV moment nonetheless. It happensed yesterday while I was in the back yard playing fetch with the pooches. It was fairly windy as I stepped up back onto the patio the wind managed to push me back to the yard. I checked the watch and it said wind was 16 mph. I’ve run in 20…

I’ll be honest I think you should do some walking at an increase pace(walk with purpose). A 3.5-4mph walk vs slow jog will get you a very close amount of calories burned and it will lessen the impact on you as you drop some weight. I walked a full year before I attempted my 1st mile on a treadmill. I’m almost 6 feet and my…

Ordered some Matador meggings on the 24th and got them yesterday. So decided I’m using them for my Friday run. When I suited up I thought these feel a bit different snug? 🤔.. pulled them down… daum seems that I purchased a small instead of the usual large. Well they were on and I wont be able to return them since they went…

Been away since I’m a broken record of a usual daily run. Went for a slim shady(8 mile.. get it 😂) run today. The 98% wet state I was in with final I’m good was literally as my shoes started going squish with every strike. Good thing I stopped since I had thought of doing a half-marathon. Well made the right call as my nip…

Myself personally have become and continue to work on a healthier me by leaning more towards cardio to complement my caloric choices and overall intake. As some have stated it’s a matter of adjustment of how much you take in that you’ll benefit over time as weight loss is one of your goals, but you should not let a # on…

Well I had to do my easy 30 min Sunday WO today because I forgot to tape up. Was feeling good and I thought let’s go for 4 miles. As I hit mile 3 I got a twinge on the right nipple… 🤬aka runners nipple…… 😫 settled for a decent 5k…

Ha ha.. I was checking in to look at other folks posts. And got a shock that first to pop up on one of the 32 inch monitors attached to my laptop was the pic of me castigating my poor yeti bucket.. 😆 I easily went beyond its 300lb max capacity it was recommended for then.. I love that bucket.. It toughed it out with…

My 2nd toe on both feet is the issue for me, too. Just slightly longer than the big toe. I'm also flat footed, but my podiatrist said it's slight because my arch has collapsed over time. And thank you, I'll check out the link. I've also been looking at those funky toe caps. They look like condom for toes. lol I'll try…

Check this link out… https://marathonhandbook.com/bruised-toenail-from-running/ I just got done running a week of 1 10k a day. No issues with my toes except for my 2nd toe being longer than my big toe. On occasion he gets sore on the faster 10ks. I’m flat footed and I’m very much aware of how my foot drops. I’m pretty much…
-
Yeah I’d fall back to some walking. Let your pains lessen before you make them a bigger problem. I on occasion throttle it back. Yeah my feet are 13s. For a 5 11 guy that’s pretty long. I wear balegas to make sure they don’t feel loose. Interesting thing is that out of all the kinvaras I own they all don’t feel exactly the…
-
Ha my go to dailies. I have 4 pairs Kinvara 12s(got rid of the 1st pair recently). Light shoe nothing fancy but they are my favorites right now. They started going on sale since the 13s came out recently. I’ve gotten them from from 65-90 on sale. Although I did pay full price for my ☘️ ones. Have a pair of Ride 14s I use…

Got these babies… for my running… My nipples say muchas gracias… 🤣

Finished my 10k week successfully last week. Mile Avg. for the week was roughly 10.31. Not world record shattering, but hey I'm not going to say on about 43.5 miles at that pace per day for an entire week is a bad thing personally. My fast day 10k avg was 9:56 per mile and the slow 10k for the week had an avg 11:29 per…

I leave it up to the Apple Watch. It actually does a decent job. You can actually watch it real time however I concentrate on the run to not stare at the watch when traffic, people with dogs or folks backing out of their garage is my priority. Quoting your quote “The goal was to learn to be more efficient during runs by…

Since I wanted to complete my one 10k a day week I bypassed my usual easy Sunday 30 minute WO yesterday. I moved that to today and just did an easy paced 5k run around the neighborhood. It was already 91 degree so it was good enough to get me a decent WO. I managed a 168 SPM Avg. Cadence so happy with that as well. May do…

One year ago this week combining indoor/outdoor about a 50/50 walk/runs I logged less than 20 miles. This week from Monday-Sunday I finished a week of one 10k a day. Almost 43.5 miles all outside runs with high winds, a rainy finish on one and a few hot days. This was unplanned. Paid attention to the old body, slowed down…
-
Well I got it done.. My week of working out is officially over. One week of one 10k per day in the books. Just about 43.5 miles of runs. Finished the weeks last with improved time, but not close to PB. However one thing I was wanting to do today was improve my cadence. During the week I went as low as 159 and seemed I…

Day 6 of my attempt to get a 10k a day from Monday-Sunday. It was rough. Windy on the longest part of the run which is back to the house. Bad nights sleep plus pushing a washer and dryer around to install a new vent hose just before the jog didn’t help. Got it done and times were not bad vs what I’ve been logging on these…

Another 10k lunch run finally getting around to a hot shower….
