Hong Kong (12/21): 25for25 Week 2 Update

Amazingly, I'm still going strong with the 25 for 25 project.  This is just a quick update for those of you who are curious, (and yet not curious enough to subscribe to my project).

BEFORE: Could run 6 or 7 of the 25 minutes

NOW: Can run 15 of the 25 minutes.

BEFORE: Was only able to run non-stop for 1.5 to 2 minutes.

NOW: Can run without stopping at a 8:30 minute mile for 10 minutes.

BEFORE: Running brought my heart rate up to around 168 bps

NOW: I can run for 10 minutes and it onlyl goes up to around 155 bps

I had a little issue with my knees, so I did a day or two of cross training on the elliptical and bike machines.  But I never stopped my 25 minutes of cardio / day, so that's a good thing.  (This is nothing worth getting injured over.  As long as I put in my daily exercise time, I'm happy.)

So, today is day 17.  I have just 8 days left of my 25 for 25 challenge.  It looks like I'm going to make it.  Even if I don't reach my goal of being able to run for the full 25 minutes, I will at least reach my main goal of sticking with this for the whole 25 days.

And what is on the horizon?  Well, I'll post up the details when I figure out what my next challenge will be.  In the meantime, I'm focused on making sure I get this one all finished up.

One more week!  Time to add some oil.

yes ... but you have a gf and I'm still single. I was waiting for you to send me your info like I had asked in the initial blog, so that I could email you the "rules" about joining that blog. I figured you forgot about it since I never got a PM from you.

I think Jaine said it all. I've been silently supporting you from Shenzhen. Such a friend! As we say in China, Add Oil!
