Quite proud of myself tonight! I managed 5.65km with a pace of 8:42/km compared with the 9:50/km pace of 2 nights ago! I can’t say why changed really except attitude, and I guess I’m starting to get the hang of this thing :) Crazy to think a few years ago I was 220kg (that’s 36.6 stones in Olde Englishe or 485lbs) and I once was commemorated with a plate for eating a 1kg steak at a restaurant (see the attached photo), now I’m 145kg and falling, and if I can do it, anyone can!

I ran my usual route and listened to my usual podcast :)

75 Kg weight loss. Wow. You've saved your life! No wonder you enjoy running.

And you are getting better at it.

I am so impressed.

Even if you are a Night Walker.
