This morning as I rolled out of bed to do my Tuesday morning run the temperature on the web for South Jordan read 18 degrees. With that in mind I wore my warmest gear and headed out the door. I did 4 miles this morning and just about froze! When I got home and explored further, with wind chill in South Jordan the temperature was 1 degree. Tonight is supposed to get down to about 0 so unfortunately I will be running on a treadmill tomorrow morning.
The last 2 weeks have gone well with my training, last week I put in 36 miles, and have also done well with sticking to my diet. Unfortunately I have not lost as much weight as I had hoped. I was shooting for being at 200 lbs today, but am at 203.5. I guess I should be happy with dropping about 2 pounds a week but with my healthy diet and mileage I expected more. Maybe as my body realizes that I really am changing how I eat my weight will start to come off a little faster. I should still easily be able to be down to 180 by June 1st but was really hoping to be there by the middle of April. We'll just have to see how it goes. Work continues to be extremely stressful and that may play a role. I am optimistic that work will improve over the next 6 weeks but right now it is all consuming.
I am shooting for 36 to 38 miles for this week and then 40 miles for next week. Hopefully that will knock off some of those extra lbs.
You're killin it out there! Keep it up and you'll hit your goals, no doubt.
