Tried running again, I really thought it was going to be tougher than yesterday but ran OK. Certainly was not in shape to go three miles. At 2 miles per day (1 walk 1 run) at my current weight (bleh) I would be burning 400 calories. Seems a lot but I think it is accurate. If I can stick to a 2000 calorie diet I think I will make it. Because my current BMR is 2354, so that burns about 700 calories per day. So for 25 weeks
7 x 700 x 25 = 122500 calories divide by 3500 per lb I have lost 35 lbs.
The math is actually more complex than that because as I lose weight and age, my BMR will go down. Still, I work out more than 400 calories per day.
Friday I will finalize my 2011 goals.
But it was heartening to see my relatives sign on for the 1/2 marathon. I thought for sure it would be just me again in my family, but to hear that they actually paid the fee was soo awesome.
