Once a month, I'll post my measures here on the blog in table format. Being "of a certain age" (although, I no longer use the word Album in reference to music), the will be in inches, pounds and so forth.
The idea behind this is that 2012 is planned to be a year where I focus on fitness and my Ph.D.. This blog will be the one that tracks and discuss the fitness goals, triumphs and obstacles in detail.
Background to the measures and fitness journey:
- I am 55 years old.
- I have run 4 marathons (Calgary, Seattle, Edmonton, Seattle) with a best time of 3:31. My running weight was a minimum of 155 and settled in at 165 pounds.
- I have bench pressed 135 pounds.
- I have just started Physio for chronic leg pain that may be related to hip cartilage degeneration.
- I am finishing off a very stressful job at the end of March and then working on my Ph.D. full-time.
- Regular exercise has not been part of my life for the last 10 years. Sedentary would be the right word to describe the last 3 years.
