AM: Off. Work to be done, but I have a race Saturday anyway and I am gunning pretty hard for my first 100-mile week without stretching it too much the next 3 days. On the academic side of things, I decided to postpone the job search, which has me relieved as it allows me to focus on finishing my work in a quality fashion. Should stop me from stress eating, which I have been doing lately, which accounts for the weight that hasn't gone anywhere despite running 89 miles per week for the last 9 weeks. 200s into the fall air this afternnoon to stretch the legs.

PM: 8 miles w/ 8 x 200 in 37.6. Slower than I wanted, but these were about +10 meters (.13 on the Garmin), so my goal of 35-36 was probably not far off. Wanted to run about 4:45-4:50 pace, but mostly to stretch the legs out. That's where I was.

Congrats on the 100 mpw coming up. I wouldn't stress about the weight, mine isn't going down any more either after 50-60 mpw. I think the important thing is that the overall progression is still on track and that your strong and well rested. Just my two cents hope it helps..

It does help, Steve. I often joke about my weight, but I also focus on it too much. Just weird given my winter weight was 6-8 lbs less. But I'm stronger than I've ever been, so I'll take your advice and go with that. Thanks for commenting.
