229.5 when I woke up and 230 after evening run. Run was very solid – 4.02 miles in 34 minutes with 1 minute of walking and the remainder at 7.2 mph.  Things felt very good and there was no cheating or slowing down during the run.  Definitely a very good run with none of the…

Looks like the Disney World Dopey Challenge filled up this morning – it was hovering at 99% last night and it bumped over to full mid morning today.  The Goofy Challenge is sitting around 55% as I write this and was 51% when the Dopey was at 99% – this probably means that about half…

My sympathies for anyone involved in or who knows anyone who was participating at the Boston Marathon this year.  It is a senseless tragedy and it is awful that many of those who were injured were children including one of those who died. I don’t have great words to say at a time like this…

228.5 when I woke up – whoohooo!!  Legitimately under 230 for the first time in years first thing in the morning.  Now need to make sure I say there! So that was a nice surprise to see that the changes I made in the past week or so are being effective so far.  It is…

230 when I woke up – 227 after 13.1 mile run on the treadmill The run was pretty rough – 2:01:08 for the 13.1 – doesn’t sound too horrible but I did 6.7 in the first hour and fell apart in the second.  I had no fuel in the tank and it took everything I…

231 when I woke up and 229.5 after run 231 yesterday morning. Run today was outside – ran down and back on a gravel road near our house.  Total distance 7.28 miles run in 1:15:30.  Pretty slow overall but I can tell I was running slower on the gravel than I did on the paved…

230.5 when I woke up and 233 after 4 mile run in the evening after supper. I did the 4 miler in 31:54 – was pretty fast but felt like cheating a lot – I had energy but just didn’t seem to have the focus.  Nice thing though when I would slow down to 6…

233.5 on the 8th 234 on the 9th 234 when woke up on the 10th and 233.5 after 9.17 mile run in 75 minutes. Did not run planned 4 mile run yesterday – felt really tired and ended up almost falling asleep on the couch – went to bed about an hour / hour and…

233.5 when woke up and 229.5 after 17 mile run in 2:34. Run was done in the late morning and felt pretty slow and tough to get motivated.  I think I have to do these runs earlier (and hopefully outside!) from now on to help with the motivation factor.  Basically should have a quick breakfast…

232.5 when I woke up and 231 after 8 mile run in the early afternoon. Was 231.5 yesterday morning when I woke up. Had Boston Pizza for supper Friday night and a couple beers so I expected a major weight spike but weight change from yesterday to today was well within the realm of normal…
