Although, that was my fastest 5k time and I'm down to 239 (from 260 dec 1)

There is no way that I could stay within 5 minutes of my current time with a 70 pound backpack on. What you've done the last 2 months is nothing short of incredible.

Any sign of overuse injuries?

I've never thought of it in that manner.

Geeze, I'd be walking with seventy pounds on me.

So I have only been running for a month and I've lost 13 pounds so far. Today I actually timed a 5K and I did it in 29:36. That wore me out. I have no clue how you do a 5K under 20 minutes. That is beyond my thinking.

I've never run 5k in my life. I can't imagine running that far.

Just timed myself again on a 5K and did it in 27:13. Knocked off a little over 2 minutes.

This morning I again timed myself on a 5K run and did it in 24:39. I was hauling butt and that sucked big time. I've cut 5 minutes off my time in the last month. I've also lost 21 pounds since Jan 7th. I feel great!

i ran a 26:15 (approx) w/ steelblue on monday night. that dude can glide quickly and is way too fast for me. however, he has graciously ran with me a few times over the last few weeks and i have completed faster times (including my first sub 8 min mile) than i ever thought i would.

I was on the streets again Tuesday. Did my first seven miler with a new running buddy. Tomorrow we go further, perhaps eight or nine.
