Mass: 187.75 (-1.0)
Waist: 32.875 (-0.375)
Arm: 15.875 (--)
Thigh: 23.5 (-0.25)
Calf: 14.75 (+0.25)
I am finally back under 33". Hooray. I am still 1.5" & 10.25# from my leanest, which was at the beginning of November. And I probably have to get at least 1-2" below that to be fully lean. So, looks like I have my work cut out for me.
The calf increase is not surprising. Running is hell on my calves, and I went around the block twice this past week. Note: "around the block" is a four mile trek.
For running progression, I am not too concerned with my time, more with my endurance. I am planning on running at least once a week, hopefully twice. Each time I run, my goal is to increase my run to walk ratio. Going by power line poles, I was at roughly 2:1 my first run and 3:1 the second time. I did not have a constant ratio, and my stride/speed changed at times. But I am aiming for adding another segment to each run. So go to 4:1, 5:1, etc., until I can do at least three miles non-stop.
Randomly, I hit my stride best after about two miles. So mile number 3 is the easiest for me. Number four is not horrible, I just get tired by then.
Lifting-wise, starting up again today. Back to 5-Star, with higher weights, five cycles, and starting at three reps. This should take me up until parents start arriving, which would give me a deload week while they are around. Works out pretty well that way.
