First, the line:
Weight – 275.2 pounds
Weekly Gain / (Loss) – 2.4 pounds
Total Gain / (Loss) – (52.2 pounds)
So … rough week. I kind of knew this was coming, and in fact that knowledge was one of the things that finally kicked this blog loose. The running has been going very well for me, but I’ve legitimately been struggling with food lately. Not sure if that’s the weather, or maybe increasing weekly mileage again, but the constant drone of hunger has lately been harder to ignore. Somehow I’ve got to figure out how to get that under control.
On a positive note, my run this morning was incredible. 5 miles, and I hit a groove in a way I haven’t been able to do in quite awhile. The run wound up being the fastest per mile pace I’ve ever run outside of a race. My “long” run was only 5 miles this time because I’m officially tapering for the Ragnar – only two more runs scheduled (5 miles total) until my first leg.
The crazy thing about the weight is that I’ve run 40 miles over the last two weeks. And it isn’t like I’ve been eating bags of Oreos, which wasn’t all that uncommon before.
Otherwise fantastic day – pumpkin picking. Fall is awesome.
