A good strong push tonight – wasn’t sure where it was going to go but finished realizing I could have started stronger and done even better. That’s good to know! Just around 115 training miles to go before Goofy Challenge in January (in just over 3 weeks!).
This is the last real tough week and as long as I can get through it strong I know I will be ready to tackle Goofy hard this time. Interestingly in the September to January time frame last year I did just over 500 training miles for the Goofy – so far for the same period I am over 560 miles and still have 115 to go. Definitely getting in more training miles more consistently this year compared to last.
My weight is being kind of strange though – I think I have narrowed down what the issues were and have fixed a couple but still need to sort out one or two more. Basically I added soy nuts and a bit of beef jerky as protein snacks and both caused issues for different reasons. The soy nuts have caused me grief before with bloating and things like that so I should have known better – those are gone. The beef jerky was more of an issue with the salt and water retention because of it – gone as well. But I am still having a fight with getting my weight to go down and that seems to mostly be due to substituting carbs for sleep lately – tis the season but I still need to start getting to bed earlier! At this point it is going to be a hard push to get down to 210 before Goofy but I am going to keep trying.
