I'm needing to shed a few lbs.- 192 on the scales Saturday.  Want to lose at least a pound a week for the next 12 weeks.  Most of this will come through healthy diet.  It will help to get the mileage up as well- increased from 120 miles in Feb. to 200 in March.  Goal is 250 for April and 300 for May. 

Ran 9 today in the rain- first 8 miles @ 8:40 pace and then jogged the last mile very slowly as a cool-down.
