Hi everyone,
It's been a while since i've been here at the forum. I have reached 148 pounds, so i've lost a total of 58 pounds now. Since I'm at a healthy weight for my height, and feel good, i have decided to go for another goal. Two weeks ago I started running. I am training for a 10K that will happen next year. I am very new to running, but i love it already. I am training 3 days per week, and am currently at 3 miles for two days, and four for the third. Then on my off days, i cross train with my gazelle.
I'm really excited about this, and i have already set a goal for myself, which is a pretty big, maybe even crazy goal; I'm confident that i can do it though! I want to be able to run the 6.2 mile race in 40-41 minutes, which means I will have to be able to run roughly a 6.5 minute mile. I have a whole year, and am doing very well so far. I believe that Atkins will really help me with my training. No carb loading before runs for me!
