I'm there in spirit.

In practice, I'll be chasing around 2 3 year Olds. Might not quite be a 5k, but it'll be close!

That should be a good workout!

BTW - Payment sent!

Got it!

Yeesh - that was tough! Basically a 5K race involving long downhill trails with many switchbacks, a long steep uphill road, and then for the finish, 282 uneven concrete steps in poor condition. But I did it, I had fun, I got a medal, and I’ll do it again!

Check out my IG page to see a couple pics.

I'm in, starting at 207.6

I'm in.
Starting Weight: 236.0

So, this was my first day of doing intermittent fasting (16/8 to start) plus low carb.

Started the morning making up some ketorade:

Nothing else to eat or drink until 12:30 lunch. Leftover black beans/bacon/tomato/green pepper/seasonings (without the rice that goes with it). Plus a bulletproof bar because I was still hungry.

Afternoon coffee, black with stevia
Then water for rest of afternoon.

Dinner is carnitas pork with; avocado, cabbage slaw, radish, & lime (rest of family put it on corn tortillas and added cotija cheese...I shouldn't have dairy). Zevia to drink. Plus 1 slice of a peach.

Just before getting the kids ready for bed, I realized the most difficult time of day will be after the kids are in bed...when I have been having bedtime snacks for over a year now. So I grabbed another bulletproof bar before my eating window closed. If I struggle later, I will make some tea with stevia.

So the results for my race - I was 106th out of 199 runners, and 16th in my age group out of 22. Not too shabby! Time was 42:03.3. Hoody hoo!

Nicely done!

Only 2 days left to enter. Good luck to all!

Here I am at my doctor's appt. Decided to join up. I will send the $20 shortly Wade.

Start weight 221.
