111.8 pounds lost since January 1, 2010So looking back at my records, I've lost a whopping .8 lbs over the last 3 weeks. part of that was a 9 day business trip that included a stop at my in-laws in TX... Not the best eating I've done... Not horrible, but not great either. I still was able to get in 4 runs during the trip (one in each location, actually - Ontario, Canada - NY - TX - CO), but being out of my daily grind that long really threw me. Enough excuses.This past week, I've been trying to step up the distances on my runs. Sunday I did 5.6 miles, Wednesday was 4.5. I've been slowing down and enjoying myself a little more. My coach, Bob, told me from the beginning - work on the distance and endurance, the speed will come on it's own. In addition to the distance, I want to start strength training more. Time to stoke the metabolism a little.

111 pounds lost since January 1, 2010The real challenge comes this week with business travel to Canada and upstate NY, personal travel to TX and more business travel to CO... 1 trip... 9 days away from home.
Sundowner 5K
Ahhh, the Sundowner 5k – AKA Hell’s race 2011. At 6p the car read 100 degrees. At 610p it read 103…. And I was going to run 3.1 miles in this? Yes.
Turned out to be a lot of fun. There were over 900 people running. I averaged a slow 10:38 pace, but in 110 heat index, I’ll take it.
A race favorite is the pictures we take with our “group” of fellow runners. It’s been cool to see how much I’ve changed in the past few months. Below are the before and after shots of last nights 5k along with my medal.
Next race: August 13th
