Another week has gone by and I have to give a status update. Well I don’t have to but I choose to. This week was all about running and eating right. The running went great. I have managed to put in 23.6 miles this week which is pretty much according to plan. I’m doing a [...]

Here is another 4 day photo update. I can’t really see much difference from the last one. According to the scale I have lost some weight and according to the tape measure I have lost a bit from my chest and my thighs. I have increased my caloric intake and decreased my cardio so I’m [...]

I can’t really say where my resting heart rate was exactly when I started but I think it was around 72 bpm.

Today concludes lucky week 13. It was my second week running and I feel great. Running is very addictive. Once you get going you can hardly stop.
