Mark's got too fat blog

The next few weeks may see me take up a few new hobbies / sports. First of all I went out running on Saturday (well walk / running). I have never been able to run any distance - 400m would usually be too far, even when I could swim well and ride 40-60 miles a day off road. I figured running would be a good way to increase my cardiovascular conditioning and now I do not weigh quite as much, my knees might survive and I might even enjoy it. Its taken 2 days for the DOMS to really come through, and my legs are a bit sore, but I know this will stop happening by next week if I keep at it.

Second on the agenda is kick boxing. My friend who has just started police training wants to go back to it, and there's a local class on tue or thu which are both days I do not train on, so that sounds good. Should help with the fitness and flexibility.

Finally, weighed in at 12 stone 12 lb today - that's 180lb and 3lb lost in a week of higher calories and missed gym sessions. Target is 163, so 17 to go.

Next major milestone is when i have 14lb to lose - ie one stone.
