The original title of this entry was Getting faster and Fat Tuesday. But that was before this morning's run that I just finished.
I was excited that it seemed the days of the 50-minute-plus 5K was behind me. I had been coming in under 50 minutes for the last two weeks. Definitely not a major milestone for the average runner, who is shooting for a 50-minute 10K. But for me, considering I couldn't even run for 30 consecutive seconds four months ago, a decent milestone. Along the way, I set a PR at a timed event Saturday with 46:33. I still wish I was faster and can get it under 45 minutes, and even though I've lost 55 pounds, I'm still carrying about 75 extra pounds, which is hampering my time.
And then along comes today. A nearly 53-minute piece of shit run. My body was stiff and sore from the start. Still, I checked my time at about 1/4 of the way in and I was less than 30 seconds behind my standard run. I checked it again at the halfway point and I was two minutes behind.
I blame Fat Tuesday. We had a potluck dinner at work, and man did I pig out. I haven't eaten like that since I started my diet and exercise regime back in November. I sure did pay for it today. At least that's what I'm blaming it on. I literally could not stop myself from eating. It was sad, and why I'm in the shape I'm in. I have no self control and am basically worthless when it comes to food consumption.
You'll see the damage in my food diary below.
