Day 28, Week 5, 74 Days to Go

Thanks to everyone reading this for their support. It really makes a difference to me and is a big time motivator.

I weighed in at 193.7 this morning, so it looks like my weight loss is back in a positive direction.

It was dark and snowing when I went out this morning and did 6.5 miles. I was ready though and had on the following:

Head/neck: cut-off t-shirt sleeve under knit cap, head lamp, neck gator
Torso: heart rate monitor, base layer long sleeve shirt, black windbreaker, safety vest
Hands: glove liners, running gloves, garmin watch
Legs: running tights, running shorts
Feet/Ankles: compression socks, running socks, trail running shoes

Lots of stuff - but it made for a good, safe run - particular at a time of the day (6am) when there are a lot of cars on the road.

Heart rate was in the mid 140s and I did a tad over 8 minutes per miles. After taking yesterday off to rest, it was a solid run. Then I log in this morning and realize I was supposed to run 8 miles. Grrr. I'll make it up though - probably will go 8 tomorrow when the schedule calls for 4.

Speaking of training - here is my schedule for the rest of the way:

I basically took out all of the stepback weeks. This is either going to kill me or kill me. Probably kill me.
