Tried to go for a run yesterday first time in 5 weeks. I could only do 1 mile because I felt some discomfort. It’s going to be a long road to get back to normal. At least my time was decent

Thank you, I guess I hadn't really put much thought into it, but yea, it's wild.

Slowly getting faster. Completed a 4 mile run tonight in 25:52. Under 9 minutes a mile!

I did 1.5 miles on treadmill on Friday. I really wanted to do 2 but started feeling discomfort. I ran outside today, aimed for 2, got 1.5 before starting to not feel good. I am having a really hard time controlling my temperature due to my hormones so it really sucks. I may have to run on a treadmill all summer. Rebounding from this has been hard

Waiting to go until 9/930ish had been going well but with all the college bros back in town, it's still too crowded that late. I like to be as efficient as possible at the gym but that's pretty tough these days.

[r0yals2012]

After getting home from KC on Saturday I decided to do a quick mile since it wasn't too hot. I ended up with the fastest mile I have ever done in my life, 13 minutes 9 seconds. I don't think I could maintain that pace for a 5K but still cool. I know that sounds slow to a lot of people but that is a great time for me.

[r0yals2012]

Went back to the gym today. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks post op. I am not quite back to 100 percent normal from presurgery but I'll get there eventually. Still not really using any weights heavier than 10lbs. I did run 2 miles yesterday, and that's after I fell just down the street from my house lol. I sat down for a minute wondering if I should just go back home but nope I decided to do it. Miles 1.5-2 were rough and I was wondering if I could make it. Hoping to get 3 miles down in 2-3 weeks. I am aiming to do a 4 mile race on the 4th of July

[r0yals2012]

I finally was able to do a 5K. Yes it was a treadmill 5K but that should still count. I think I am delegated to the treadmill until like November (besides any races I do) because my overheating/puking feeling shows no sign of letting up and I may have to deal with this the rest of my life. As much as I would rather do it outside, I'd also much rather not puke or faint on the side of the street.

[r0yals2012]

Did another 5K today. This was probably the hardest 5K I have ever run it was a struggle to complete it but I did it.

[JustinVerlander07]

Now down 140 pounds since October and building up to a 10k run. Did 5.6 miles yesterday at a 8:48 pace including the 5th mile pace being 8:21. Not bad

I just signed up for a 4 mile race on July 4th. I hope I can run the whole thing.

I went from 305 to 201 with intermittent fasting and not really changing much else diet wise. I do workout hard and consistently.

That was from summer of 2018 to December of 23. Since then I’ve been working on my strength so in about a year and a half I have got myself to bench about 305.

Im 42, that’s stronger than I’ve ever been. I can’t believe I’ve been able to do it at an older age with no illegal help but I have.

Got 15 reps at 225. Body weight is back to around 220.

I want to be able to do a set of 3-5 with 315 then I’ll think of a new goal.

Well, health and not getting hurt is always goal 1.

[r0yals2012]

Yesterday I went to my gym. It was strength day. At the end of 30 minutes I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower

Been to the gym, cardio, for 23 or the last 24 days. The only day I missed was when I had to meet my daughter after work and swap out teacher supplies. I left for work at 4:30 AM that day and didn't get home until 8PM. Drove 250 miles. Didn't have it in me.

[r0yals2012]

7km long run yesterday. Hate to do it but after my 4th of July run putting a pause on it until late august/early September. My body fights me every run and I still feel like I’m going to faint or puke every time. So right now it’s too rough on my body. Maybe it’s something medication will have to fix or something time has to fix but it’s a bummer

[r0yals2012]

4 miler is on Friday. Hoping to run 3 of the 4 and treating it as a block run as that was the session I felt best at. While the temperature looks ok it’s going to be very humid that day. Yesterday was my last training session it didn’t go great I felt pukey but I finished it. I’m going to drs tomorrow hopefully I can find a solution to why working out (mostly running) is making me not feel good afterwards. Sometimes when I’m at the gym and get done in the short 30 minutes it looks like I had just gotten out of the shower

[r0yals2012]

4 miler was yesterday. I was able to do 3.3 of the 4 miles. I had to walk the rest because if I ran anymore I was going to for sure puke. I had a goal to finish in 1 hour finished 1 hour 17 seconds. Mind you I did it with a gastrointestinal virus that will not go away so I couldn't fuel up like how I wanted to. That's what the dr diagnosed me with is a gastrointestinal virus (Probably from the beach in Ft Walton and going on almost 2 weeks). I basically had just a piece of white bread before the run. I need to figure out all my health issues so probably no more races until September/October.

Did 8 miles for the first time today, a tick over 68 minutes (8:34 pace). Guess I need to start prepping for a half marathon.

Awesome! I saw on my memories on facebook last year today I signed up for my first 5K. From that time until before my surgery I was running 5K twice a week. I even did a 10K this year, well virtually before my surgery. I was even thinking about a half marathon was in the cards if my 10K went well and then my health decided to turn on me. Maybe in the next year or two but for now it is just going to be 5Ks.

Will you introduce them to the wrongs? Just remember, 2 Wrongs don't make a Wright

[r0yals2012]

It's been 12 days since I last ran. I am missing it. Since I did it twice a week I have been trying to figure out what to do instead. Today I played my Ring Fit Adventure and added resistance band on my legs for fun. As soon as I can figure out all my medical problems I will be happy to return back to running 3.1 miles 2 times a week.
