restraint in exercise

Posted on December 26, 2007 by JH

I’m not one of those runners who obsess about their weight, or looks or health, other than wanting to be healthy enough to run. I probably only weigh myself once or twice a year - only really when I shower at my mother-in-law’s. She has a set of scales in the bathroom.

I was over there yesterday and found myself a kilo or two above fighting/marathon weight. That’s to be expected I guess, the season being what it is. Also, it’s been a while since I put in a 100km week.

It’s really not a worry - I still struggle to find pants small enough to fit me.

But I did put in an uncharacteristically long mid-week run last night. It was 18km, including a couple of laps of Croydon Golf Course. Again, not a great run, but I had some pleasing sections around the CGC, and some nice steady work over the hilly sections, such as they were.

    I’m guessing you’ve always been skinny. Those of us that have had, or have, weight issues are a lot more obsessive about the scales.

    AJH - I’ve been at or around 70kg since I was about 16. I just have to work at it a bit now that I’m getting older.
