Winning Back What I Lost

9PM: good workout. 2+ miles over to the MVHS track and then 2 x (800m-600-600) w/ 90 secs rest between. Then 3+ miles cool down. Been a looooong time since I ran on a track. Felt good to stretch it out and run faster. No pain. My biggest problem still remains all this excess weight that isn't falling off as quickly as it did back in '07 when I started this crazy running ritual I'm in. I shouldn't complain. I've lost 16 lbs in 2 months but I just have so far to go to get to my old racing weight which I always thought was 20 lbs above ideal. I guess it's just a matter of perspective as u get older. Maybe the cure all is to increase mileage up to 50+ Per wk before I see any rapid weight loss?

9PM: Windy and muggy. Easy run.

9PM: 2M easy + 15 min hard before a rainstorm hit. Also, had 2 imbeciles w/in 5 mins of each other yell and/or blare their horn as they passed. Why is this such a favored pastime for these idiots? What compels them? Most of the time I ignore them but other times, like tonight, they make me furious and I wish I could drag them from their car & beat them senseless. :)

930PM: Late start because I was watching the Cards game until Wainwright lost his no hitter. Listened to the rest of the 1-0 heartbreaker on mlb radio on my phone. Easy + 15 mins fast + cool.

930PM: Easy

830PM: Medium long run. Perfect conditions but just felt blah from the beginning. Ran by the Meridian Speedway which failed to inspire me to pick up the pace. Obviously it's gonna be a challenge to lengthen my long runs carrying so much weight. It's a catch 22: need to run longer to drop the weight and need to drop the weight to make my long runs more tolerable.
