HOLDING PATTERN

Second Monday of the week...again,

It would appear I'm in a holding pattern with regard to my weight. Ugh...

I did hurt my hip a couple weeks ago and haven't been able to run till about a half week ago. That hasn't helped matters. But this is my big fear rearing its ugly head that I mentioned previously...I simply can't get below the weight I'm currently at. I just don't know why. I have been feeling a stronger urge to eat lately, almost like it's that joyous, special, feminine time...but, it's not. Hopefully it will taper down.

But, I will stick it out and stay with the plan. Maybe my body just needs time to reset, metabolically speaking. Plateaus happen. It's just so frustrating.

While it seems that my speed might be improving a wee bit I am only running 3-4 miles at a time. It's time to crank it up to higher mileage. 17 weeks and counting till Hood to Coast! That should be a perfect time frame to get in gear. Time to do hill work. That's so hard...but it's so good. Strength training in the gym is definitely working, no doubt. It will be interesting to see how I do getting back into the stadium for my hill work. Running up the ramps is tough...and the stairs and bleachers!

Ok, I'm outa here, now.
