Meet up with Mike, Bill and Logan this morning out at Brentwood. We did the loop out to Sand Hollow. We didn't go around the lake, just cut across the dam, which put us right over 9 miles once we got back to the car. Then Bill and I extended another 3.5 miles. I did another .5 around the block once I got home. Overall a nice morning and glad to have gotten in a longer run. I need to start hitting some 15 to 20 milers to get ready for the marathon. I'm doing pretty good with the pop thing. No Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, or Mountain Dew going on 18 days. Also been about that long since I've had a hamburger or fries. I have had a couple rootbeer floats, but overall the diet has been better. However, I'm still not losing the weight, probably once I start doing some longer runs the pounds will come off faster. |
