Time to get serious

[Today’s run: 13 miles]

This week my lovely wife went and signed us up for a marathon in October.  She asked me first and I said OK.  But still…  it sounds like trouble.

So, I now have to quit goofing around and lose about 10 lbs by 1-July and another 10 lbs by 1-Oct, more if I can.  I think I am up about 20-25 from when I did my last marathon in the fall of 2010.

No more soda-pop.  No more french fries.  No more potato chips.  (Potatoes in general are none to good.) Stop eating when I am full and don’t start until I’m hungry.  When ice cream, one scoop and one scoop only.  When restless, drink water first and evaluate before throwing open the fridge.  If I can actually do all of that then 10 lbs will be easy.

I am a lot better at eating than I am at running.  Why is that?  It doesn’t seem right.

In other news,  I worked some more on the 40db tap.  I have a couple more things to do on that.

And this week I ordered some solar panels for the autonomous weather station.  So that project is still moving along slowly.  Lots of fun stuff happening.
