Ugly day. Ugly workout. 6x1000m @ 3:06 with 90 seconds rest. Wind was howling again but no rain..at least not during the workout. I stopped after 4 reps. I hit 3:05, 3:06, 3:07 and 3:08 in that order and felt crappy doing it. I just didn't have the other two in me today. I felt very heavy and bloated going in. I ate like a horse the night before and most of it --- i mean -- all of it was junk. Serves me right to have a bad workout.

That's the first time I've ever heard you say that you ate crappy. WoW! What's your normal race weight? I think we all have too much to eat once in a while and that's not bad to enjoy food.

Nice run even though you didn't feel the best.

I'm usually in the range of 142 but about 5lbs north of that right now. I really want to get down to 135 as I believe that is my optimal weight...but I like food too much.

I think we all like food too much. I find if I slow down in my running I still eat the same way and that's bad. Right now I'm at 135 which is way low for me. I've really dropped weight, because I was usually around 145 to 148.

I'm a little burn-out after last weeks Half Marathon race (well on November 1st) and will slow down a bit and I'm sure the weight will come up.
