Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.90	0.10	5.00

Easy running with 4x10 sec hill sprints. I did some dynamic stretching after a 2 mile warm-up and before the sprints. I felt good after the sprints. I've been focusing on running with my whole body--not just my legs--during these slow runs. I'm running with better form and keeping my hips engaged throughout my runs. I think it is helping.

I weighed in at 199 this morning. That was after eating about 8 brownies yesterday. This is the first time I've been under 200 for a while. I might be able to stay here if I keep my mileage up. I'm planning to get up to at least 40 a week eventually. I think I might get to the low 190's if I can do that. Maybe I should keep doing some hot weather training while we still have hot weather.

Bite me.

That might push me back up into the 200's.

lololololol!

Seriously though. I ate 8 brownies and I'm at my lowest weight in a while because all I have to do is run a bunch and I can eat whatever I want. Not me! I can't eat 1 ounce of crap or I won't lose. GUYS are so annoying.

No more hot weather training if it's going to wipe you out like it did Sat. you're not 14 anymore.

It would actually push you in the 300's..But that's kind of what I was going for.

I'm teaching my body to burn fat.

Well when the marathon is over, maybe you can teach me your tricks. Either that or I'm just going to specialize in speed walking from now on. Running is overrated.
