I have not run 400's for many years. When I was 61, I ran a 400 in 61 sec. But now that I am 73 I am very slow.
But I ran a 400 for the first time in years the other week. I was really discouraged with my time of 95 seconds. BUT I weighed myself and found I weighed 159 #, yeek.
So I went on a diet to try to lose weight. In a couple of weeks I lost 10 # and now weigh 149 # with my running clothes on.
So I ran another 400 today ( this is my second attempt). I have not run one since a couple of weeks ago.
So today I ran one in 85 seconds. I would not have been very happy with 85 sec, but after 95 sec I was really encouraged by it. I was walking around happy all day.
This really reveals how The Lord will reward us if we obey His laws about food.
If I took 10 seconds off with a loss of 10 # then if I lose another 10 # I should be able to run a 400 in 75 sec.
I am aware that the next 10 will be much harder than the first 10. I have tried to lose weight before but could not stick to my diet. This time I prayed and asked The Lord to help me. This lady I know lost 50 pounds by cutting out sugar. So I cut way down on anything with sugar in it. I am even making my own yogurt without sugar.
I am very thankful for The Lord's help. This lady telling me how she lost 50 # was what inspired me to be try this. I am thankful to her too.
I will try to let you know how it went in a few weeks after trying to lose 10 more.
