Thanks to my CapturedDiscipline® Time-Lock Safes (currently: one for Cape Cod Potato Chips and one for a quart of Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream), the training for my November 5th private marathon (26.2 miles) is coming along. With the help of the safes and the “running” exercise, I am gradually taking my weight down from 172 to 169. Running 13 pounds lighter will make all the difference on November 5th. Here’s a chart of my progress since August 13th. I “hate” to take selfies, but some have asked that I post some video during training, and not just on the day of the marathon. Age is catching up on me and I do not like taking pictures or video of myself … but I’ll give it a try, maybe this Sunday, September 3rd. The goal is another 13.1 miles, and a somewhat better pace than last Sunday’s slow 17 minutes and 49 seconds per mile.
