Weigh-in #18 2010: Busy busy busy

It was a really good week up until about Friday.  Work has been really busy this week and I had to start early and stay late every day from Thursday onwards – including the weekend.  As such, I was out of routine and didn’t get my runs in and, even worse, I subsisted on junk food mainly. But such is life sometimes.  I really needed to enter the latest weekend warrior challenge but it slipped me by I’m afraid.

Anyway, even after all that I’m down .32 kg this week.  My physics diet weight is 86.54kg (goal is 86.4kg) so I’m so close to officially being there.  My actual scale weight was as low as 84.9kg this past week which is the lowest I’ve seen since I passed it (going up!) as a teenager I guess.

The year itself is looking good:

April has been a record breaker for me in terms of my running.  I ran over 300 km (187 miles) in April which is the most I’ve ever run in a single month. I suspect I won’t be running as much in May as I’ll be tapering for the Christchurch Marathon for the latter half of it.  :)

    187 miles…wow…I’d need a motor!

    Fabulous Andrew…I think I’d need a lot of junk food to fuel 187 miles!

    Being thrown out of our routine can throw us for a loop, can’t it? Still, it sounds like you are doing fantastic. I can’t get over how much you’ve run this month! That’s amazing!

    Wow, 187 miles in one month, that’s quite an accomplishment. Considering all that happened over the last few days, I’d say you handled it well and still got good results for the week. I’m sure you’ll “officially” be at your goal very soon!

    It’s tough when work gets in the way. Still you are looking good to meet your weight goal in the near future, especially as you keep running at your current rate. 300km in 30 days! My math sucks, but I believe even I could figure out that it works out to 10km per day. Amazing!
