Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Today's Run
I knew that I was piling up the miles this week. So my initial focus was to just get through this tempo run. When the timer clicked over and informed me that I had to maintain the top zone for 15 minutes I admit to thinking: 'there is just no way!' But I just kept going, and powered through it, for a really good run. Maybe powered a little too hard as one of my calves is unusually sore, but I think I can just work it out with some stretching and sportscreme tonight, no long term damage done. That is the thing about these tempo runs, I almost never feel like I can hold onto the desired pace, and yet my body tells me sure you can. That's a wonderful feeling, because it means that my body is getting stronger.
This hasn't been the best of weeks eating wise. Drinking way too much diet soda especially. Need to focus on getting that habit under control over the weekend. Because that is when I seem to slip the most, and then it just drags into the week. So after all of that imagine my surprise and joy to see the number go down! Down 9 pounds now, almost to the double digits! Keeping to the spirit of the majority of the Skinny Rules is doing the trick. I just need to get back into following more of them consistently. It should help if we plan our menu for next week better (and Kim should be over her cold as well.)
