The Journey...

I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.

Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.

So mount up, Posse, and let's go from Fat to Fit!!

I hate numbers. . .

Sometimes I really hate numbers. . .my official time for the 15k was 2hrs and 53mins. Which means my pace was 18mins 33 sec per mile--which is much lower than the pace I train at. I keep telling myself that I have to take into account that the Percy Warner Park course was HELLACIOUS. The course for the half-marathon is nowhere near as hilly as PWP.

The next few weeks I will add in more hills and portions of the half course so that I will be better prepared. I want to finish in under 4 hours and at my 15k pace I would be over 4 hrs.

I guess that's why you can't just go by numbers. Hence the reason I don't weigh myself very often :)

Back on my training schedule--2 miles easy today, crosstrain Tues, five mile speed work Wed, crosstrain Thurs, rest Friday, long route Saturday, and easy 30 mins Sunday.
