This Week in Running
This week I resume my running! It has been a while coming but I am finally back on my feet (and back online with a DSL line running to my place). My surgery went well but it is starting to backfire. I am experiencing pain again in my foot and I will probably have to go back to get the same procedure done...again.
However, in better news, this week I was able to run for 30 minutes non-stop and cover 2.25 miles! This is a big accomplishment for me.

My Jeans are too Loose
Good morning from Evanston, Illinois! This is my first post since I tackled the move from Beach Park about two weeks ago. I apologize for not having the time to update RunPete. Between starting my new job as a teacher, getting accustomed to living in Evanston, my brief medical run-ins, and experiencing the joy of independence, I have not had much free time.
However, I do have some great news to share with all of you. I have lost 12 pounds during the first month of the RW 5k Training program. I combined the running schedule with a diet and it has paid off. I hope to keep the trend going but perhaps lower the weight loss number just a little bit. 12 pounds seems like a lot for one month. However, I am not complaining!
My running has slacked off due to my commitments to my job and survival. Running should resume soon and the logs will start again. Yet, I must say that I am enjoying my diet as it is helping my weight loss.
I am off to go explore some of the shops around my apartment. Hey, at least I am walking a lot.
Until the next post, happy running!
