Bad Strategy but Down Another Pound

I did well with my goals this week considering fever/cold.  I hate being sick!!!  But, I still did four gym sessions and this morning I got up and attempted to run the "tan".  (Botanical Gardens in Melbourne)

I wanted to see how I would do outside instead of on a treadmill.  According to AFL footie legend, Barry Stoneham... the tan is 3.84km.  But it is not flat.  The top and bottom are pretty even but one side is a slow decline and then the short side is a very big incline.

My strategy was to run up the big incline and that I would run it at the end and be done.  An adrenaline surge.

The good news is that I made it all the way around doing my little jog/shuffle.
The more good news is that I made it half way up the hill.
The best news is that I did my little jog/shuffle for 29 minutes.

The bad news is that I only made it half way up the hill.

I am still happy with that.
Next time I try I will start with the hill as it will literally be all downhill after that.

And, lost .4kg or .9lbs this week.  Let's just round it up to a pound.  :)
