Wow, I Rule
So, good stuff for me - I stepped on the scale a day or 2 ago, and it came in under 200 lbs. This marks the first time that I've been under 200 lbs since before i discovered alcohol. This also puts me at -30 lbs since I've started this whole "let's not be an unhealthy lazy bastard" routine.
Also, just finished my 25 minute jog to cap off week 6 of couch to 5k. It feels like forever ago when I was struggling with the jumps from a minute to 90 seconds to 3 minutes, but that was just about a month and a half ago.
Jogging in the cold is also weird. I started off actually being a bit cold, but about 5-10 minutes into the run that was gone. That'll probably change for the worse once it goes from the mid 50s to the mid 30s.
Though, some bad news on the couch to 5k front. My favorite source for C5K mixes, Podrunner Intervals, looks like it needs to shut down in a few days. Very sad, as it's pretty much what got me through the runs. I don't think that I'd be sticking with the program if I had to put together my own mixes. However, I did pre-download everything from the 5k, 8k, and 10k programs. I'll have to grab a few fixed BPMs mixes as well. Anyone either know of other good interval podcasts or tools that let you easily analyze BPM and will let you chop together MP3s into mixes?
Work's going alright, though I'm getting thrown head-first into a very ugly project. Hopefully, once that's done, I'll be able to get back to training up the new guy and getting him in a good place to take over the work I shouldn't be doing.
