AM - 4 easy miles to coffee shop & back, no watch, but pretty sure my pace dropped into the 9's on the downhills.  :)   This is my daily plan to try to jump start the second half of my targeted weight loss.  The first couple weeks I dropped from 164 to 155, but seem to have leveled off the last 2 weeks ... goal is to get back down to 148, my racing weight in 2011.  Another benefit I figure is I won't feel bad if I stop after 5 or 6 miles in the evening, as I usually push on to get 7 or 8. 

PM - 7 @ 7:57

1.5 mile wu @ 8:10

4 x 800    3:08, 3:08, 3:08, 3:05  (500 meter recoveries around 8:30)

Sounds like a smart plan - you're definitely burning fat at that pace! And you're pretty close to your racing weight already, nice job so far.

yeah good job Jon! Enjoy the the 2nd run!

I need to try to start the two a days again too- maybe I can get out the door before work when it gets warmer. I'm too much of a slacker...

Pretty fast 800's. 16 pounds is a lot of extra weight to carry around when you're around 150-160 pounds!
