well done westward. One question, has the weight loss had a great impace on your racing times? How much so? I ask because, I am currently still losing weight, and my goal for this year was to break 20 for the 5K.
Yesterday in a training run I ran 18:57. I now have my sights on breaking 18, then 17 etc, ad I still want to lose another 16 lbs. |

Thanks Eddy! Losing the weight definitely helped to improve my racing times quite a bit. Before losing it, I used to struggle to run a 5k in 21-22 minutes. Now I'm running a 5k around 17:30 or so and hope to break 17 sometime this year. I've heard that each lb you lose cuts about 2 seconds off of your mile splits when it comes to racing. Not sure if there's scientific evidence to back that up but it sounds good to me!
Congratulations on the awesome 5k PR yesterday! You've done an incredible job of losing weight and it really is amazing to look at your before and after pics. Be careful not to lose too much more weight, though. Anything below 6-7% body fat becomes dangerous and unhealthy.

Better it turn out to be a dream than a nightmare, Modal.

Westward, I'm not going to say you're cute.
But I will say it looks like you've done a heck of a job! (and I'll also say that I should really join you guys for a CRC Saturday morning run one of these weekends) |

Thanks for all the compliments!
You're pretty damn cute yourself, Trishie. Is it a bad thing if I have a runningahead.com crush?

I know they say they have varying paces and distances.
You've been there... is it true?
MTA: I don't want to show up and then get dusted and be stuck running the whole time by myself. I can do that at home.
But I really do want to find people local to run with. I lurk over at the CRC board, and you guys who post there seem fun. |
