13384707, Am ... am I a runner now?
Posted by snacks, Tue May-19-20 09:14 PM
After the boxing gym shut down, shadowboxing got old pretty quick and I don't have room to add a double end bag or heavy bag to the crib, so my only hope for staying in somewhat boxing shape was to run. I started doing 2 miles, but moved up to 5ks. Switched to NRC app and my friends found me and started inviting me to weekly challenges, and for the first time in my life running is somewhat tolerable.

My goals for the next month or so are:
7 min mile (current fastest: 7:12)
8 min 2 mile pace (current fastest pace: 8:11)
26 min 5k (current fastest: 26:43)

My actual weight training workouts are suffering. I'm just not inspired to lift. I have a barbell set and some light dumbbells, but mostly do pushup/ab supersets once or twice a week

Anyways, as collateral, I'm almost at my goal weight (199 lbs). I started at 225, and am down to about 204 now
