3 mile timed trial...26:53

Weight: 225:  Mile by mile times…8:44, 9:05, 9:04. Out and back…13:19, 13:34. Did 24:30 on Nov 11, 2005.  Started out well, got winded at the turn around point, ended up walking for about 20 seconds after mile #2. Sprinted to the finish (last half mile in 3:42).  I am definitely not in my best shape, but if I can do some good runs over the next 30 days, along with some modifications to diet, it is realistic that I could lose 7 pounds or so.  So…let me go ahead and say it…March 11 is when I expect to weigh 218.
