Took yesterday off (accidentally), but got right back on the horse today. I had a really good run, I felt great and I hit another speed record today. I plan on running longer tomorrow at lunch, since I will miss my long run on Saturday. I am completely dominating Mike!

Nice, strong run. I felt good the whole way and sprinted out at the end. I am really starting to get back into the running. I got up right away this morning and got the run in. I am actually looking forward to continuing my morning runs and building my speed back up. With any luck, I should be able to run my fastest half-marathon in November, though my goal is to run the entire half.

Good run today. It was a bit humid, so I had to walk for a little while, but I ran farther AND faster than last Saturday. I am planning on a rest day tomorrow, then running every day next week. My domination is almost complete!

Another very good run today. I started out @ 5.4MPH and moved all the way up to 7MPH (okay for only about a minute). I am feeling stronger everyday and I think I have established a habit! 13 pounds down, 40 to go.

Yesterday (rest day) I did some research which indicated that I am eating far too little. I am averaging about 1900 calories and about 700 calories of exercise (net of 1200). I have bumped up my caloric intake by 500 calories, which should give me an average of 1700-1800 net calories. Hopefully that will help me lose weight and keep my energy levels up. At this moment I am letting my body reset to the new intake.

I did get a very good run in, actually managing another record with a full 3 miles in my run. My speed is nearly where it was in April, and with luck and dedication, I will be running sub-10 minute miles by September. I am still dominating Mike on exercise and weight loss, so that trend continues. ;)

Hot day to run, manage 4.73, though I had to walk once for about a half a mile. I got the run in though and I felt pretty good after.

Really good run today, I was a little sore, so I ran more of a recovery run. I set the treadmill at .5 elevation and 5.0MPH and ran 27 minutes with little effort (Slow, I know, but 6 months ago, I could not run 5.0MPH for 10 minutes!). I then sprinted out the last 3 minutes, ending at 7.5MPH. I felt good and my heart rate held well. Tomorrow I plan on the elliptical, then 4.5 miles on Saturday. Still holding fast at 11 pounds of weight loss, still frustrated, and still hopeful that the weight will come off eventually.

Good run today, I see another record pace, this time nearly hitting 3 miles. My legs felt good and I really felt a lot better running faster BEFORE lunch today. I am a little disappointed in my weight loss, I have not lost a pound since last week. It is frustrating, but last time I was hard in training, I hit a plateau after I had lost 10 pounds, so I am hoping after a few weeks, I will begin to drop weight quickly, as it happened last time.

Did not get up this morning to run and I had a noon meeting, I decided to run after lunch. I now know why runners generally do not eat lunch and then go run. I ran the entire 30 minutes @ 52.MPH, but it was a struggle all the way. The only good news is it is done and I can run BEFORE lunch tomorrow.
