Despite a small cold last week, I had a great running week. On my long run today though I decided I'm going backwards in the weight loss and need to record what I'm eating to make progress.
Weekly Wrap-Up
Monday- 6.7 mile goal pace run to the bank and back
Tuesday- track workout 800,600,600 x2 at 5K pace.
Wednesday- lazy bones resting
Thursday- Tempo Run. I kept a consistent pace, just under goal. Now, I need to increase the goal time
Friday - Lazy bones resting except for peeling potatoes and running the garbage disposalSaturday- Freeze Your Thorns Off 5K This race put on by Adam was so much fun.
Sunday- 18 mile long run in 2 hours, 38 minutes. I was nervous running this since last weeks race/long run took so much out of me. I kept my beginning pace slower and towards the end strived for goal pace. I also focused on lifting my feet more. I took a spill at yesterdays 5k and John said I sometimes shuffle when I run so I'm trying to lift my feet.
Total Miles 39.43
Eating: B-. Chips and salsa and margaritas don't fit well into a healthy eating plan but they are so good. 3 chai tea latte's and I think I'll make myself one after I'm done with my blog. I figure if I've already missed my goal of 2 chai's then I can just start again next week and enjoy one more this week.
Core: B. Managed to do monster walks and mountain climbers once. I need to add planks and at least another day in
Goals for next week:
Chai tea lattes - twice
Log my food
2 days of core
South Mountain Hill on Thursday.
Happy Running!

awesome paces!
I see you are working hard following a good program.
The pace is very fast and I am sure that you are making a good job.
Our potato skins go to our Doggie-disposal. He doesn't "clog" up as easily and absolutely loves potato skins! And carrot shavings...and veggies in general. Odd dog. He doesn't get them all the time, just when I drop them on the floor accidentally when prepping for dinner.
Thanks for the motivating advice :)
We are extending our garbage disposal life by composting. Works wonders.
Boy you are fast. - Envy here.
To answer you composting question. We have a bin on the side of the house. I used to go overboard trying keep the compost hot by stirring it but now I got lazy and let nature do its job. During the summer when there are more grass clippings it gets nicely hot and decomposes pretty fast.
Another thing I used to do was worm composting but I think here in CA it gets just too hot for little buggers to survive in smallish containers. Worms are great if space is limited and they make compost fast.
What a great training week! I am with you on the food--I too need to journal and crack down once and for all.
NICE! 40 miles in a week with a 5K race is DEF not lazy bones at all. Nice work out therE!
