I brought my gear to work and ran 1.5 miles on the grassy field by Extra Space, then drove to Murray Park and did the rest while I waited for Jacob's soccer practice to finish (it was about 5 min away from the park). It was around 65-70 degrees, which would normally be perfect. Since it was my first warmish-weather run, though, I felt a little sluggish, as I always do when I start making the transition from cold to warm training.
I settled on an incentive for my weight loss plan. If I drop down to 149, I get the new Garmin 610 (since it's pricey, it will also count as my Father's Day and/or b-day present). I'm hoping I can do that within 30 days, but the reward comes after I hit my weight goal, not after doing the diet for 30 days. Brooke is still working on her reward, but hers will come after sticking to the diet (modified Paleo, allowing ourselves one grain--not cereal--and one dairy per day, otherwise eating lots of vegetables, especially green veggies, lean meats, no processed foods, and strictly limiting grains and dairy). I was really grateful that we decided to allow one grain this morning (it's now Friday), because I was getting pretty sick of scrambled eggs for breakfast. We had oatmeal with fresh fruit and honey this morning, and it was a nice change of pace.
Too bad I forgot to weigh myself. |
