Im on fire!

3 pounds down! I was surprised but happy as weight loss has been a challenge and yesterdays visit to mcdonalds where I ate a few chicken nuggets didnt help.

Weekly check on health signs. At rest 45. Bp still up there.

The run was (In my sons words) Awesome! I ran a full 3 miles at 5.5 and a further 1 at 5. Followed by a half mile up hill walk. I can feel my performance getting back to its old self. The heart rate on the run was about 145 to 139 which is far better than the past.

Off to the swim. 1700 yards. I took the kids and put them in day care at 5:30pm. When I entered the pool there were some hard core guys there. When I asked to share they did the usual "OK if you must fat boy". This attitude I usually find at indoor pool triathlon events. I love to meet triathlete like that. Anyway I got the distance in. It was impressive to see the pull full of people doing lengths. The posers at the side were a bit put out though. Ill try and avoid 5:30 in the future.

On the indoor snobbery my best moment was a few years ago when I put serious time into strength on my triceps and shoulders my time for the swim was 11 minutes but no one would let me in their wave, I quote "I think you need a different wave I plan on making 11 minutes". I ended up in a 13 minute wave with some fun people. I was out of the pool in 10 minutes. I gubbed them all.

I felt good after it all and sat down to watch house with the wife. On checking my soccer schedule I had 5 minute to get ready and get to the game. I was 15 minutes late but we won anyway and I didn't have to work too hard.
