I've been gone with the family in Orlando the past week doing the Disney thing.  I can't believe how exhausting it is to do that day after day for a week.  I don't know how people who are out of shape survive it.  I was so tired last night when we got home I was asleep before 7:15.

I got up this morning and weighed in to see what the damage from a week of eating out was.  I added a few pounds.  I'm back up to 170, jikes, my race weight is usually below 155.  I want to get to 160 before heading to Belize in 3 weeks and 5 days, but I don't want to loose any upper body muscle in the process.  I'm going to have to be hard core with my exercise and eating to pull it off.

Gym this morning

10 minutes elliptical

upper body weights

30 minutes elliptical

I think my leg is better, so I'm going to go for a run tonight.  I think I'll need 2 a days until Belize to make my goal weight. 

I have not read anyones SGM report yet.  I look forward to reading them all this week.  I did see some times though and am very impressed with all of you.

 

PM

I ran pain free for the first time in 5+ months!  I only went 2.5 miles and I ran at an easy pace.  I didn't even wear a watch.  I hope to build up a nice milage base nice and slowly before I start into any speed or tempo work.

Wake up weight-  166

I headed out for a bit longer run today than I have been doing all week.  I ran towards to lake to the desert the shortest way possible (0.75 miles) then I went off roading through the desert.  I tried to find little trails to take and just ran where it looked like I could.  I ended up down by the lake.  It was beautiful as the sun was comming up.  I wish I had my camera to take a picture.  After stopping a minute to take in the beauty, I kept going.  The trails were rough so I wasn't moving too fast.  A few times I had to climb out of washes using my hands it was so steep.  I had a blast just out exploring.

5.5  miles,  AP 10:04
