Greg's Running Blog

This is probably the last installment of my weekly updates. My weight has not moved much this week at all, I’m really coming in for a smooth landing at around 166 lbs for now. I lost 0.2 lbs this week which is practically nothing, but considering the amount of food that I had been eating I think it’s reasonable. As you can see I didn’t log Friday’s diet. I went to a farewell party for a co-worker who relocated to another city and there was a lot of festive eating involved. They served chili, which my itself is actually a great meal but I ate a couple too many lemon squares and brownies that night. So I just said, screw it, I’m not even going to try to estimate the damage. It’s a good thing that the next morning I went and ran 10.6 miles and burned 1,300 calories in the process.

I did manage to lift weights twice this week which is a first in a really long time. I felt fine with the weights but I definitely need to get back into the rhythm and keep going on a regular basis.

My running was great this week. I clocked 34.6 miles (55.6 km) this week which is not as much as I have been running lately but it was the first week of my marathon training plan so it was supposed to be easy. I’m actually looking forward ramping up the mileage a bit, the week just seemed pretty easy.

All in all it was a solid week with a bit of wondering off the right path in the eating department but it wasn’t anything that I can’t fix.
