140.1

Well thats a little lame... up almost a pound, but I feel stronger and faster so I am not going to worry about it.

Took a 8 mile run this week, 2 three milers, and a four miler. Today's 3 miles I finished in 27:30. I felt strong and fast. I could have busted it out and finished in 27, but I still needed to lift weights so I listened to my body and backed off when it said "slower down girl!"

My pants are getting looser. Even my workout pants, that are meant to be tight are getting loose in the butt and legs. I know my speed is increasing and I am gaining confidence. I can run 8 miles if and when I want to. That feels good to say that.

A big weekend is ahead of me, I have a 4 mile run scheduled tomorow, which will take place on a trail in Cascade. I am excited to throw a little curve into my workout, and am even more excited because I think I might even have a couple of partners to run this one with. It will be good to have someone to laugh with and talk with, and someone to compare progress with. I am hoping to be able to by mindful of my eating and make healthier choices when I can, and not feel guilt if I let myself have some wiggle room either.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
