This last week was not bad. Although I skipped Tuesday's 3 miler, I made it up on Thursday and with some extra walks along the week. On Wednesday, I had a good solid 6 miler. Still too slow, but it did feel more constant and pace-worthy, so to speak.
I've been adding some cross-fit work outs to my strength training to good effect. I learned walking push ups and added those. This week I also learned of air lunges which did leave my thighs feeling rather sore this morning, but this is supposed to be a post about the week that just ended.
The long run was a bit of a shamble. The 12 miles ended up taking 3 hours. I had a visit at home waiting for me, and I sure scared the hell out of him, getting home much later than planned. I would say I hit the wall at around 10 miles, but I was already fighting a bad thick fog since around mile 9. This being a step-back week, the Sat. mileage is only 9, which will hopefully go well.
As for nutrition, I've mostly kept up a good show. Eating well, keeping alcohol levels low. At the end of the week, I was still holding steady at 139. However, on Saturday and specially on Sunday, there was quite a bit of beer drinking due to a birthday.
Sunday night, my mom and I agreed to lose 5 pounds in two weeks. On Monday morning, I weighed the usual 139. This morning, I'm down to 137! So, that's two down!
Hope to see the trend stick.
