[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 4084588, member: 22103"] Figure it would be a good time for an update! My "training" has slowed somewhat this winter but I've been maintaining (I can't wait for winter to be over!). I've lost 35 pounds since Aug 07 and I don't want to lose any more (I'm 6'1", currently 165 lbs). My BMI is exactly in the middle of where I should be but I've been adding things back into my diet. My diet got to the point where it so structured that I know I'd keep losing if I stayed on it. I ran my first 10-mile race yesterday. I'm sore today but really psyched I did it. My previous longest run was 7.5 last Sunday. The 10 miles took me about 1:36 - just around 9.5-minute miles. That's a little slower than the pace I've been running lately (I was down to about 8.5-min miles) but it was freaking cold out and really windy. I felt like I was running into the wind the whole time. I also went out drinking the night before, got about 5 hours of sleep, and basically did nothing to prep for the race all well. All-in-all, I'm happy with the result. My next goal is to run a couple more 10-mile races and try a half-marathon in May in Providence. That and keep working on my abs. :D I can actually see them! I'm curious how other people are doing. One thing I've realized through all this is how EASY it is. Seriously. If are doing the right things and stick to your program, the weight will FALL off. For me, there were 3 pieces - eating habits, cardio, and weight training. Once I started doing all three, the changes were crazy. You will get results incredibly fast. The toughest thing for me was eating habits (and you CAN'T think of it as a diet) just because I was a junk food junkie. It was just pure willpower. But now, I don't have to worry about restricting my diet as much. And if I put some of the pounds back on, I know I can switch gears immediately and get results fast. [/QUOTE]
