simon gets fit – day #10–14/365

summary report, days #10–14

the last few days went quite well. ran 3.6km on thursday, rest day on friday, ran 3.6km again on saturday and did a short run today of 2.6km. I’ve resurrected my cycling gps and am now using it as a running gps and pulse tracker—it actually works quite well. especially as i can set up the interval workouts on the computer and transfer them over. means i don’t have to keep looking at my watch.

i spent most of yesterday on the achensee in the sun, teaching two kids to sail. today i was on lifeguard duty at the baggersee here in innsbruck. fantastically hot weather, a very uneventful day, but with 15hrs sun-time, i managed to get a decent tan. :)

summary of the first two weeks

i’m starting to feel a lot fitter than i was. starting to run isn’t quite as easy as i thought it might be, but i’m enjoying it. the three week program i’m following seems to fit my pace really well, so i’ll be sticking with it.

weight check: lost 2-3kg so far
waist check: i fit into some shorts i couldn’t get into three weeks ago, so i’ll count that as positive. :)
well-being check: i’m starting to feel fitter and healthier. food intake is down, physical activity is increasing and the physiotherapy is doing wonders for my back and shoulders.

all in all, a good two weeks. only 50 more to go…
