Went to the doctor yesterday. I weighed one pound less than I did on my original weigh in. And that was fully clothed including tennis shoes.

Now, you just need to wear less and less every time you visit the doctor.

This may seem counter-productive but it's worked for me: the best way to improve my speed has always been to stop worrying about it and focus on the distance instead. Once I get to a certain point (right now I'm just under 3.5 miles, it's that time for me...) I lose my watch, and work on running a little further every day. The watch is great when I'm doing interval work, but once I finally get into long distances, it can really **** me up. Sort of the same way that getting on the scale every day can. I focus too much on what kind of time I'm running, get discouraged if I feel like I'm going slower than I want, or push too hard early and gas out late, even just stare at the watch for a half hour. Which is like torture. So I take it out of the equation. It lets me just focus on the running itself, and I can lose myself in it. Every so often I'll time the run just so I have a general idea, but it seems to help me to focus on where I'm running, and not how long I'm running.
Now, I run outdoors. Can't do that so much on a treadmill, so people's mileage will vary (I can't run on a treadmill at all; I'd rather be waterboarded). But this approach got me from @13 down to @9 last year. |

I only wear my watch to track my distance. I could care less about the speed. My goal is still to be burning calories, and I'm better off running 10 minute miles for an hour than running 8 minute miles for 40 minutes or so.
Organized races are the only time that I really track my pace/speed during the actual run. |

I'll get in on this action. Starting weight at 206. Hope to be down to 185 by May. The trick for me will be keeping it off when I get back down there.
