So what's been happening chez Hamster? Quite a bit, I suppose.
I have been on a calorie-counting enthusiasm since last October. This, much to my surprise, has resulted in me losing some weight. I now weigh in at just under 11st, which is pretty thin for a fat lad.
Interestingly (as in 'wearing a really nice hat' type interestingly) this has resulted in my half marathon PB reducing to 1:34:11 (to include 20k in under twice my 10k PB, so that's due for revision at some point) which is about 5.5 minutes faster than when I was previously really in shape.
I'll be taking this exceptional form *cough splutter* into a marathon in about 3 weeks; now that will be entertaining.
Til then, I really am better than I used to be...
