Wow. I stuck to this for half a year. That is fucking amazing. Now I have full confidence I can keep this going. And now I am ready for the next step. Ready to ramp this up. The goal is clearer – Marathon 2024. I have almost qualified for it anyway. Now I need to smith my body to be able to run it.
- Lost 20-25 pounds
- Ran 114 miles
- Ran 29.5 hours
- Ran 38 times
- Averaged 4.4 miles, 1.1 hours and 1.4 times a week.
- Lost 25 pounds over the last 6 months. It’s a good number. People can see it. Wish it was more, but it’s not bad, given all the conditions.
- For the next half, I want to get at least 25 pounds off, maybe a bit more.
- I know the system to make it work. I experimented with a lot of things, so have a general baseline. But, there are new challenges like the heat, which I will have to fix.
- I realized how bad alcohol has been for me. This half of the year I probably had the least amount of alcohol consumption since 2008.
- I started thinking about mental shifts. Being kind. Redneck confidence replaced by CEO confidence.
- One thing I struggled against is that work keeps taking too much of my time.
- Started thinking about marathon more concretely.
Hopes for the second half
- Ramp up the workload.
- Add in more workouts
- Laser focus on weight
- Finish qualification
