Run 5 K

5k: 25:56 this AM at the hotel. Left knee wasn’t cooperating last night to run, serious pain.
Not too bad at 255#, wish I could drop about 20#, but it just isn’t happening. My metabolism has pretty much stopped. I’ve gone to a high protein, medium fat, low carb diet over the past 4 weeks and I actually gained a few pounds, hopefully lean muscle mass. The belt has dropped a hole, so that is good. Pants fit better. I guess I need to stop using the scale. My strength is starting to come back to where it was 9 years ago before I stopped going heavy on the free weights.
I think my time is a PR, have to go back and check. Getting better, even though I haven't been doing any running other than HIIT drills on the treadmill. I used to run 10-13 miles/week, and all I would have is sore knees and hips. CF works, without a doubt.
