Couch Potato to Runner

It pouring down with rain today so I headed to the gym to do my run. Today’s schedule called for a 32 minute run. I did 5.55 km in the 32 minutes which translates to a 5:46 pace per kilometre (8:12 min per mile for the metrically challenged - there is a great calculator here). I did my 5K distance in 28:18 which I was pleased with. I’m always faster on the treadmill but I have to admit the runs outside are a lot more enjoyable.
I got to thinking while I was on the treadmill (as you do) and I think I’ve come a long way (More on this in a later post).
I used to be a couch potato (307 pounds in the photo) and now I’m a runner (225 pounds in the photo - 218 pounds today).
