Total Distance

3.00

I'm doing my workout this evening, 10 mile bike 3-4 run, for practice for the triathlon on the 9th.

I made it out for my ride/run tonight. 10.2 mile bike in 49:30 and 3 mile run in 32:35, it felt surpisingly good without too much jello from the bike ride. I started out immediately under the 12 min pace and just kept picking it up finishing my last mile in under 10 minutes and I feel GREAT!! I might even be able to pull off a 5k pr even at the end of the tri next weekend, wouldn't that be nice?

But I just wanted to blog this. Weight loss: -18 lbs. which I know is good but whenever I diet this is the range I can always get to, but once I lose 4+ pounds then I am in new territory.

Weight: 0.00

Marion,

I was active before I had my son but not running six days a week, but usually ran 3 and did weight/strength training 2 days a week. But I was also on phentermine, and dieting/exercise is really easy when you are essentially on speed, have no appetite and all the energy in the world and can't sleep. But I stopped taking them got pregnant and almost returned to my previous weight minus 15 lbs. I am wanting to do this the right way this time.
