So Close...

1:12:14 workout time, resistance level 4, 12.4 miles, 10.30 MPH avg speed, 652.6kcal burned, avg pulse 135.

Slept like ass last night from too much Super Bowl food, but what a game! I actually somewhat understand Football now.

I was wearing my knee brace on my right knee at work and found that it actually made walking a lot more difficult and put stress on my left knee. I still managed my workout, though. I'm not all that enthusiastic about taking Ibuprofen every time I work out, but it seems to help a lot.

I still haven't dropped any weight. I remember in 2005 this kind of effort had me dropping pounds like mad, but the circumstances are different now as I currently have about twice the body fat I did back then. Well, not now, I'm sure. I know I've gained muscle.

I predict that at the start of next month, I will be dropping weight just because keeping my new muscle alive has called for burning fat, in addition to what I burn during the workout. I'm really in no hurry. This isn't like the diarrhea diets where you shit and starve yourself thin temporarily. This is long-haul like a freight train. To put it mildly, I'd rather be a freight train hitting a brick wall as opposed to a puddle of shit. Even if it takes time for a train to get up to full speed, they'll still push a brick wall out of the way.

I'm 99.41 miles into my plan.
