- I got fitted for orthotics. I know how some folks feel about them, but right now, I'm in favor...I've been able to run pain-free and thusfar, they have been worth what I paid for them (insurance didn't cover).
- I have been running consistently for the last 7 weeks! Once my orthotics got fitted, my podiatrist had me start running every day, starting with .5mi/day, then moving up each week. I started and stopped a couple times (most notably due to a vacation to Costa Rica that Christy and I took for our anniversary!), but once I got back from a work trip, I decided that I was going to be more consistent.
I put in 4 weeks straight, getting up to about 12mi/wk. Two weeks ago, I decided to start putting in more miles per run and less runs per week. To that end, I ran up to 3mi/run last week and have tried to up a couple runs above 3mi. - I have finally made my goal weight! I officially made it last week, but this morning's weigh-in had me at 178.6, or 30.2lbs from my start almost 9 months ago!
One last thing...I started an account at DailyMile so that I could keep better track of mileage and routes. I included a widget (I won't call it little!) on the main page navigation so you can see how I'm doing. It's on a probationary period for now.
