Good job Paul... I like the slow and steady approach! I hope you can build back up to where you had been without something breaking!
I'm happy to report that Weight Watchers is paying off again and I've lost about 8 pounds in the past two weeks! I ran slow all week in training with about an 11- or 12-minute pace then decided to turn it on this morning at the Greenway 5k and hope my legs could remember how to move quickly. I felt great with 8 fewer pounds of lard and finished in 20:55 (6:40 pace), which is a 60-64 age group PR for me!

Congrats on the race, Richard!
Last weekend I tipped the scales a full 30 pounds lighter than I was 15 weeks ago. Weight Watchers + running + Insanity = a lot less of me to love. But I agree, the running comes A LOT easier with the weight off. Now, if we can just add fall temps.....
Paul, nice job bringing yourself up to an enjoyable 90min!
Glad to hear your doing Weight Watchers Paul! And 30 pounds makes a HUGE difference, so no wonder you're doing better. I'm hoping to lose about 7 or 8 more pounds and get down to 138. I'd like to go even lower than that but last time I tried I just kind of hit a plateau at 138 and it didn't seem like my body wanted to lose more weight than that, so I'll wait and see what happens.
