233.5 when woke up – 232.5 after a 7.02 mile run in 61 minutes.
Was 233 when woke up yesterday. I didn’t run yesterday – between running around and getting the kids to bed late it was too late to run last night once I got some spare time.
So to make up for the missed 7 mile run yesterday I did it tonight instead of the shorter run that I had scheduled. Did the run in 61 minutes with only 2 x 1 min walks and the rest at 7 mph with little to no cheating on the treadmill.
Really seemed to have energy tonight on the treadmill – part of that will be the missed run last night but I think also the music I listed to tonight helped. I had Disney marathon videos playing on the monitor by the treadmill but I didn’t listen to them (I have seen them so often the music is getting a bit repetitive and not really helping drive me much). Instead I was listening to a playlist on my Samsung Android music player that I used on for the Goofy back in January – quite a mix of music with everything from Enya to Manowar to Weird Al to Shaggy. Very helpful in distracting me and giving me some energy. I need to remember that and use it to my advantage.
My weight seems to be coming back down to the range where I have been for a few months now after the spike earlier in the week. It is definitely time to really start watching what I am doing and get the weight loss kick started again. I am just about done the first of the 3 six week periods in this training cycle and I definitely haven’t met my weight loss goals in that period so I need to reassess my goals. I will be doing that for Monday so that I can start the 2nd six week period with a new goal.
