Inspiration & Weight Loss

[Antonio247]

Hola, Andy
I´m very glad with your website. I´ve learnt a lot in just a week and I feel very comfortable here. I like the way you write very much and I´ve learnt about ruuning slower than your marathon pace as well as running without the watch in order to avoid the obsession with the time you´ve done before. I think it is good to run without the watch from time to time and enjoy your run. It is a sort of running with your mind feeling great. I´ve also had access to new websites. But, above all, I´ve had the chance to meet wonderful people who share the same hobby and besides I can practise my English and learn from all of you.

Well, as far as the topic related to the weight loss is concerned, I think that the best of the fruit breakfast is that you can eat as much as you like without having a feeling of being guilty as when you eat too much bread and jam or biscuits and chocolate cream. This morning, for instance, I had eight mandarins for breakfast at nine a.m. At about one I felt a bit hungry and I had 6 more before I prepared fish to have for lunch at two. I´ve been following a healthy way of eating for eight weeks- I don´t like the word diet- and I feel fine and thinner.

Are you still interested in coming to take part at Almería´s half marathon? It would be wonderful if you and any other forumites could come. I´ve read that you´re probably going to Wroclaw in Poland in April. I´d love to go too but the date is not good for me since I only have the weekend off. It it were at Easter I could go. I´ve never been to Eastern Europe and I´d like to see that part of the world. On that day, I expect to run Madrid marathon. I ran this marathon in 1988 and 1989 when I was younger and single. I managed to finish in 3 hours, 57 minutes in 1988 and 3 hours 46minutes in 1989. If this year I could do it under 5 hours I´d be very happy.

Well, have a good time and don´t forget to change the clocks tonight. Spring forward, fall back. You change the time in the UK today, don´t you?

Hasta la vista.
Antonio
