Training like an animal


Well, ok, I'm not quite in this guy's league but based on the fact that I'm only competing against myself......I've murdered da bum!
I've put a lot more focus on jogging and as much as I hate it I have to admit it's improving my fitness dramatically. A few weeks ago I struggled to run down the street. Two days ago I did 5km. The gains in my fitness are tangible. My heart rate watch tells me I'm now at 38 on fitness (top end of moderate). When I started this venture I was 28 (low) and 34 pounds heavier.
So forgive me if I'm feeling a bit smug. It doesn't mean I'm underestimating the mountain but I tell you what. The mountain shouldn't underestimate me either.
