196!
I'm only three pounds away from my low of last year of 193. My workouts again were not good last week, but I did manage to get in twice. And I did get in the gym today and had a nice run. It is so much easier to run when you aren't carrying an extra 14 pounds!
I am no where near ready to run the Mini Marathon. I need to start ramping up fast. I'm going for a solid week of running three miles this week and then I'll go to four next week and five after that. It is too cold (for me!) to do long runs on weekends outside, so I may need to get in on a Saturday or Sunday and start ramping up to to 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 mile runs leading up to the race. The weather will warm up so I can start doing the longer runs outside. I think it is harder to run outside than on a treadmill, so I hope to get some good road work in.
Anyway... I'm taking it off slow, just a pound this week. I feel good though, 14 pounds is a great accomplishment. I would just like to take off another 17 and I'll be done! Just to be in the 180's again would be great!
How was your week?
