I'M GOOD WITH THAT

Finally Friday!

Well, as of my weigh in last week at WW I actually was at 162.4! Woohoo! I saw 161.4 on my scale today but I don't know if that will hold up for weigh in tomorrow.... I'm still afraid the WW plan won't work but so far so good. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed to lose at the very least 14 more lbs by the end of August for the Hood to Coast Relay. That's only 1lb/wk. That's totally reasonable. That would put me at 148lbs. I' good with that...as long as it keeps going beyond that after the race.

I have been keeping a little higher running schedule. Not nearly as much as it needs to be but I'm slowly building up distance, again. I've been maintaining 13-15 in-week miles and strength training the last month or month and a half. I know that doesn't seem like much but I was at about 6miles/week for a while because of my marathon burnout, lol. So, I'm building again. If I can average about 25-30 overall miles/wk over the summer I'll feel pretty good. I just gotta rock those miles.

I'm trying something a little different for training this year. I'm trying out shorter but harder workouts/runs in lieu of crazy long runs. I'm not training for a marathon; I just need a break from fulls this year. But, I want to crush the half. I want to make or break 2:00:00.

I've been reading about how shorter but harder runs and speed work can get you faster for the same long distance but with fewer injuries. I'm intrigued. So I think my longest runs this year will be the occasional 15 miler but mostly 10-13.

Well, I will let y'all know how weigh in went.
