| Fitness Statement | Last spring I was 310 pounds and climbing. Now I am down to 247 and falling. I had been playing basketball with coworkers at lunch for a few years but only 2 days a week and was not dieting or any other exercise. I also have sleep apnea and have been on a cpap machine for the last few years. I think after being on the cpap machine these last few years as finally paid off this year. I think my body is getting reoxygenated and my metabolism turned back on. I got on the scales in March and noticed that somehow I had lost some weight. I was excited and thought if I have lost some weight without dieting and just playing basketball twice a week what could I do if I picked up the pace and exercised more? I started running trails with some other coworkers that run all the local trail runs from 5K to full marathons. I have now lost 63 pounds and ran my first 10K event - Prowl the Sproul www.hikerun.com - and my second event was the Dam Half a half marathon - www.midpenntrailblazers.com - I am training hard with several coworkers as they get ready to run the Megatransect ultrahike.com I will run that next year as it sells out fast every year and wasn’t running yet when registration opened. Next year I plan on running the Grands Slam ultrahike.com |
