Couch Potato to Runner

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and see some of my favourite posts! Thanks for visiting!

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).

A tale of two weddings

I was uploading my photos to flickr when I remembered that I had been to a wedding about this time last year as well.
before and after
Same glasses, same beard. Different everything else I think. :) Just in case you are wondering, the one on the left is the one from a year ago. ;)

When I get braver I’ll release some more before shots.
