Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes and now I realize why runners call it the "dreadmill." It was soooo boring. And it's much harder to keep up with a steady pace, as opposed to speeding up and slowing down when you feel like it. Of course you can change the settings on the dreadmill but it's a pain.
My knees were feeling a bit weak after running on the trail on Sunday, so I wanted to run on the most 'knee-friendly' surface I could get to quickly. I wasn't in any pain or discomfort, I just wanted to give the old knees a break. They feel much stronger after cross training today: 30 minutes on the StairMaster and 30 minutes lifting weights.
Without further adieu, here are my DAY 30 stats and pics:
- Day 30 Weight: 151 lbs. One pound less than my start weight is negligible, but I didn't expect to lose any weight anyway.
- Day 30 Body Fat Percentage: 29.5%. The high-tech scale I have been using may be off, but I've lost 3.5% body fat since I've starting training, which is believable.
- Day 30 Photos: Again, no make-up. No photo shop. Just me...and my gut.
There's no need for a DAY 0 - DAY 30 side-by-side comparison, because I look exactly the same. The only things that's different in the pictures is my hairstyle (or lack thereof). I'll do another weigh-in and photo shoot on DAY 60. Maybe by then I will have started to develop a six-pack, or at least a two-pack, and then a side-by-side comparison would be in order.
Until then, stop by to see how my training is going in the meantime.
Signing off to watch some Olympic boxing,
Almost Thirty
