My body is aching, my legs are hurting, but I feel GREAT! 17.22 km (10.70 miles), 2 hours. Another few km and I’ll hit Half Marathon distance. And I broke several records on today’s run:

  • Calories burned in one session (1338 calories) – ironically, my calorie target is 1500 calories per day, so this run almost burned my entire calorie allowance.
  • Time spent in one session (2:06:35)
  • Distance travelled in one session (17.22 km)

Sizes

Had a WTF moment today.

“Hi, I’m looking for a pair of jeans with a 30inch waist”

“Sorry, the smallest we do is 32inch. You might want to look at the childwear section”

“…. Uhm. They’re for me…..”

Since I started running seriously, I’ve lost nearly a stone in weight, and four inches off my waist. The belts I use, I almost always need to punch two extra holes to make it go smaller, and now, I’m beginning to find it harder to get jeans that fit me. >_<
