Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance

Rest day yesterday (if you call packing 'resting').

Tonight I went to the gym and did an hour of chest/shoulders/back/core. Then - on to the treadmill.

1 mile warmup.

4 x 1/4 mile repeats (6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 mph) with 1/10 mile rests.

1 mile cooldown.

I also went back to Weight Watchers and weighed in tonight (of course, I kind of cheated since I didn't hydrate while running or afterwards) and was down 4.2 lbs from where I was the last time I went in February. I am still 5 pounds above where I would like to be by St. George - but know that my diet was pretty bad since the surgery until yesterday - so am focussing again.

Good workout speedy!

Welcome back to ww! I am curious how long it will take to get 5 lbs. off when you are already fit and lean, it might be tough. We can compare notes and hopefully we will both be where we want to be for St. George! I have 6.8 lbs. to go to reach my goal.

I'll reward you with a dinner of your choice (within reason and driving distance) if you can get your weight off before I do.

Get the WW Police off my back!

I've been lifetime for about 10 years. I gained some weight 2 years back when going through a divorce and having a daughter get married and move to Italy.

Starting last July I hired a personal trainer and started watching calories and have lost 30 pounds and more than 10% bodyfat.

Alright, I'll let you two off with a warning, but I want to see at least 1/2 of the Good Health Guidelines(p.76 Week one book) done each day. 45 min of activity every day (except 1 rest day) and $5 deposited into my secret bribery account. I also accept Ben and Jerry's or See's candy.
