Weighed in at 81.5kg.
Seem to have stabilized around there.
Happy enough with that weight! :)
Met a mate at 10am for a run around the Torrens River. He hasn't had as much opportunity to train as I have recently, so I wore the 5kg vest to help slow me down.
I was a bit hesitant as we were aiming for 10km and I wasn't sure how I'd do with the vest over that distance, but he said he'd be happy to walk if I needed to. ;)
Did 10km in 55min!!
And that even included a couple of double backs to let my mate catch up and a bit of walking when I bumped into another mate!!
Was over the moon with the time. I wasn't expecting running 10km in under an hour with the vest on.
But I think running with someone combined with a later start time helped a lot. Half the time when I run in the morn at 6am, my body feels heavy and lethargic... I think the later time just lets ones body normalize before putting it through hell.
Very proud of my mate too. Running 10km in under an hour after minimal training was a great effort.
Lots of stretching afterwards and in the evening as a long run will often leave me tight for the next few days.
Originally this blog was just a meandering excuse to publish myself on the net and babble about anything... Nowadays I'll be focusing on health and fitness, due to a turn around in my own personal situation...

Countdown to TM: Day 15...
Started the day with a 5km run in 25min wearing a 5kg vest. Very happy to stick within the 5min/km range with the vest on.
While still wearing the vest, I did a couple of pull ups followed by some dead drops.
Short sprints at the park and a couple on the way home too.
Finished off with 30 inverted push ups at home.
Crashed out early that night for plenty of recovery and prep for tomorrow morn.
