Been awhile. So it’s that time again. Time for silence is over
What’s happened since I last wrote? You know instead of re-hashing past events. I’m sure the events since last written will surface in future posts. I’ll just free associate and see where it takes us. Swam today. 50 laps which is a little over half a mile. Did 15 miles last month. Wasn’t really tracking distance before just number of laps and how much time I had. Did the medley. Breast, freestyle, back and butterfly. Haven’t done these strokes in over a year and I suspect it’s been longer than that. Used to concern self with speed and if I was getting a good workout. Now it’s not as challenging which I must say is a good thing. Gotten fitness level high enough where I need more.
In a couple of hours I’ll take a quick walk and start my next journey of making myself a runner. Not my favorite thing and may be hazardous to my knees. Yet I’ll hope that SAID will take in effect. Specific adaptation increased demands. In other words body will adjust. Goal this month is to average 15 miles per week for the month. Starting from 0 to 15. Some day I’d like to run 10+ miles straight. In the to next 5 years do a marathon. 5K before that. Why so? It’d time. It’s been on bucket list for awhile and i need the challenge.
Last month completed a couple of milestones. Broke the 200 lb barrier. Was having steady decline for awhile; however, plateaued for a few months so last month decided to intermittent fast. Sunrise to sunset, no eats. This made a difference. Sure the weight dropped 10 lbs. But the biggest change is that it has strengthened my willpower. This is the second month I’ve intermittent fasted. Not in a row. Took a month break after my first month. My body has adjusted and i found that i like the benefits. Appreciate food more. Freed up my time by not thinking about cooking or eating.
Okay that is enough for now.
