I've resolved to lose 20 lbs (175 → 155 lbs). I'm only 5'8", and although I'm currently much healthier than two years ago (when I was at 202 lbs), I'm only averaging 11'30"-11'45" pace on my 3-5 mile runs. Some extended research (reading, consulting my doctor) suggests I might be able to discontinue my blood pressure medication (Already I've cut the dose in half since 2016) if I lost this additional weight. And I'd like to reach my goal of completing a half-marathon (13.1 miles) in 2 hr 18 min. That would represent an improvement in my pace from 11.5-12 minutes/mile to 10.5 per. I think I can achieve this, and I'm committed to it. It would be interesting to have a pinned thread where we each describe our resolution and make regular check-ins throughout the year to report progress/regression.
