Update in the making…..
It been a while since i submitted an update for your reading pleasure. Since my last post I’ve had 2 real races, signed up for 2 more, including 1 in Dover, NH in September.
In March I ran the Mt Hope Church for Missions 5K, I was 1 of 5 in a larger age group (40-49) and I finished 2nd in 29:48. Connie was able to go with me to the race and cheer me on. I was so happy that i was able to finish and medal for her. Daniel missed the race helping his girlfriend move.
April continued training with the Bare Bones Cosmic Brownie 5K occurring on 5-1. Daniel and i scouted out the course earlier in the week and went into the race high in confidence, as the course was pretty flat except for 1 small part. Daniel was the only 1 in his age group, and I was 1 of 2. For half the race i thought i was ahead of the other guy, til he passed me between mile 1 and 2 as he went towards the finish line and i was headed to the turn around. Oh well, I had a 2nd place finish in 28:40 (27:40) on my watch. I also got to meet Michelle, Daniel’s better half. After the race, we stopped and enjoyed a post race donut at Krispy Kreme.
My weight has maintained in the mid 180’s. I think this fits me perfect and don’t for see it dropping much more.
