A clydesdale no more!

Early morning run with Tara on LPT. 

20 minute run at Firehouse.

Short run at Firehouse.

Met Tara at 5:30 for a run on the LPT to Farmington and back.  Still a little chilly but decent running weather.  Felt good for most of the run.  Miles 11 and 12 were a bit of a struggle.  Fortunately, this was the time that Tara was explaining Maslow's heirarchy of needs (can't remember what she called it but pretty sure this is the same thing) so all I had to do was listen and try to put one foot in front of the other.  Averaged 8:03/mile according to her watch.  We discovered that my Garmin has a hard time with the tunnel which causes me to lose time and distance.  I lose more time than distance so my average pace is a few seconds faster than reality. 

Woke up early and was able to convince myself to get out the door instead of laying around like I have been lately.  Just a nice lazy run on one of my old regular loops.  Legs felt dead for the first half then started to wake up towards the end. 

I'm now two weeks with no soda.  I didn't expect immediate results but the belly fat seems to be getting worse.  I think I have been over-compensating the loss of sugar from the soda with too many treats.  I do feel better despite the Budha belly.
