DC loop again. I did run it in reverse today so it's baisically a totally new loop:). Slept great until about 2 a.m then I was up the rest of the night. Sucks because I'm wasted and just want/need the sleep. When I finally got out of bed I had zero motivation or energy to run. But I got dressed and headed out. Started slow and felt better as I went. Hope to snap out of this "trashed" phase before the weekend's long run.

143 lbs after the run. The lowest I've been since HS. Either I'm getting into some really good shape or I'm killing myself off slow and steady.

P.M. 6 miles tonight on the treadmill. Couldn't get outside and do any type of workout. And to be honest I really wasn't in the mood. Hip and hammy are still pretty sore. So I kept it uptempo on the machine and hit a couple 5:40's in the middle. Which on the treadmill to me feels like 4:40 pace. Got a good sweat in before lifting my 5 lb weights. Getting buff:)

Probably both. You ARE in great shape and you ARE killing yourself slowly, just like the rest of us, at least on the killing part. You have been hitting it pretty hard and consistent lately. Nice race on Saturday.

Hope you can figure out the sleep issue soon. Hang in there, you have been putting in some great running but be sure to listen to your body.

That's the kind of weight I need to get to. I'm running 160s right now. The more I run the heavier I get. That might be the Mt Dew and Twinkies though...

Jeff- I hear ya. it's hard to listen sometimes though.

Steve- you got me on diet dew now...
