HALF MARATHON, here I come!

Down 2.2 since last Wednesday's weigh in. I am focused.

Wife is signing us up for a half marathon in Vermont taking place sometime in July. What am I crazy? Even for a 5 K I did 5 years back, I never jogged it completely. I jogged, walked, jogged, walk. No worries. I found a 24 week couch to half marathon plan that suits me and I am week on of 24 and my second interval training is tonight when I get home.

Last week really set the tone for this year. I logged over Eighty Six Thousand steps on my Fitbit in 5 days beating out my FS buddy Jim who wasn't in that challenge, but cheered me on because that what buddies do.

I am not a quitter. I am logging my foods and not too ceoncerned about my macros quite yet because I have tons of energy, logging my foods and staying on average below my RDI of 1800 calories which should keep me loosing weight at a steady pace as evidenced by the scale numbers.

So thankful to be a part of the FS community.

"By the Power of Grayskull...I Have the Power!" Sorry, just letting the little 80's teenager out of me.

Great job on the loss and all those steps. A half marathon is quite a challenge but I'm sure achievable, go for it. You have the power, keep on keeping on with it!
