Now that I have a short-term goal to pursue, my motivation finally caught fire 🔥. And, I’m finally back on the routine exercising although my left knee is still day-to-day at best, and I have to play it safe not to aggravate it. At the same time, despite the high motivation, the recent weight gain (7.89% gain in the last 6~7 months: 77.3 kg on Apr. 5 -> 83.4 kg on Oct. 22) keeps me from comfortably maintaining an average 10:00/mile pace as I used to be able to for as long as the half marathon distance. My body and health deteriorated so much in such a short period of time. At my current body weight, my average pace has come down to roughly 11:00/mile… it’s a good reminder that I’m carrying a heavier load, and a long way back to 10:00/mile or ideal body weight of around 75~78 kg. 😂
