Marathon Weight

On Friday, Bill weighed in at 230 pounds. This is the same weight he was when he ran the Deseret News Marathon in 1988. That was his fifth and final time to run it. (His sister, Vera, has run marathons many times more than that. And she has run ultra marathons, as well as triathalons.) Bill has now lost 89 pounds since he and Rhonda started going to Gold’s Gym, 21 months ago. It should be a few more weeks until he is down to 219 pounds, at which point, he will have lost 100 pounds.

To celebrate Bill’s getting to his marathon weight, Bill and Rhonda participated on Saturday in the StepOut for Diabetes. Unfortunately, Rhonda didn’t fare so well in the weight catagory. She gained one pound this week, again despite doing most everything right. Remember, though, weight alone can be deceiving, Next week, we will report on their all-important measurements. So we’ll see how that goes.

Here are their set point scores for this week:

Rhonda: (S) 98 (S) 100 (M) 91 (T) 98 (W) 100 (T) 100 (F) 96

Bill: (S) 100 (S) 100 (M) 95 (T) 90 (W) 100 (T) 100 (F) 98
