It's time to up the distance. The weight loss is happening too

It's time to start ramping up my distances. With only just over 3 months to go till the half marathon (13.1miles), it's about time I pulled my finger out.

I did manage to get in 3 runs last week:

Monday starter off OK. I got a good 3 miles under my belt and the time was well below my expected 1/2 marathon pace. I enjoyed it and felt strong as I finished.

Wednesday was a different story altogether!! Every stride was a struggle and I just couldn't seem to do d a pace. By the end I wished I hadn't bothered, my pace was shocking and I felt drained.

Looking back at previous times (8months ago), this min per mile was good. I guess I've started to expect better from myself already, and not settle for what I started with. This is probably a good thing and keeps me motivated.

After the disappointment of Wednesday it was a struggle to drag my ass out for a long run on the Friday. I'm glad I went as I felt strong and happy with that min/mile split. It brings me in almost bang on a 2hr half marathon, which is my goal.

These 6mile runs will now become a regular weekly thing and I'll look to bring my time down closer to the 9min/mile mark.

I'll slowly ramp up the distance to 8, then 10 miles and hopefully keep my pace constant.

So these are my official stats.....

If you can find me anyone that weighs 108kg (17st) with 33.1% body fat that can keep up with me ill know I'm not the only fatty that can run. Hahahaha

For the one millionth time in my life, its time to start that diet I keep talking about (and hopefully sticking to it this time).

So fingers crossed it happens this time, it would be nice to look down and see my toes again
