Welcoming a weather change, and fighting to regain focus on #skinny rules

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Woohoo! I am wearing shorts to work today! Not that it is that terribly warm in the office, in fact my office is actually pretty damn cold. But I have discovered that so long as my head is covered and I have a warm torso and feet my legs are not that big of a deal. Plus, I am mentally forcing the deal on Spring and warmer weather.


Another efficient run, the Hoka's passed the interval run test. 4 miles with an average under 11 minutes, I can be pleased with that number. I made a schedule change this week, back to a Tues-Thurs-Sat-Sun schedule. I realized that all of my races between now and the marathon are on Saturday's and I don't want to disrupt my long run schedule by running a race the same day that I am supposed to be running a longer distance. Which does mean that on race weekends it will be a little tougher to do the long runs, but I think I will get more out of this schedule on those weekends.

Having a tough week keeping to my calorie limit and sticking to the rules. It's a disruptive week. Kim was sick, then she is gone for 2 nights with Jimmy on his school trip, so I have essentially been feeding myself most of the week rather than preparing regular meals. And that is not my strong point. Guess I just have to suck it up and handle it, face whatever consequences, and do my best to not let a few slips become the new habits.
