I would like to do that one day myself.<BR/><BR/>I recently changed the name of my blog from "Because I'm Fat" for the same reasons.

It was over 155, but I didn't see exactly how far above 155 I was. I should have looked.<BR/><BR/>cmae, thanks for that comment, but at 281 lbs., not only am I fat, but I am severly obese. Yet, you do have a point. If I am going to continue to live fit, I guess I must work on having a fit mental attitude towards myself. I need to stop thinking about myself in derogatory terms. This sounds like an excellent topic for a future post.

I have run a 10k before but that was about 100 pounds ago. :-)<BR/><BR/>I am curious - you and I are about the same size and it looks about the same age. I've been using a heart rate monitor for the last month or so. When I'm running I have been letting my heart rate get into the 160s before I start walking, once it gets down to 130s I'll run again. I'm running at a slightly slower pace than you, 12 minute miles.<BR/><BR/>When you say your heart rate was pretty high would you share what that was? <BR/><BR/>Thanks, and again, great job!john - from fat to fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618090142491405987noreply@blogger.com
