Weekly summary 4/8 to 4/14/2012

Pretty solid week for me. With the pack over I relaxed a bit with the rigid eating  Got a  faster run on Thursday with the Buffalo but in the process aggravated my left shin (posterior tiblia??).  I was getting tired the last 3/4 mile and my form broke down a little on the rougher parts of the grass path especially with the slope/cant of the surface not in my left foots favor, but it was hard to slowdown when some friends slower their own run down to bring me home. I'm getting fit aerobically, and my pace per mile is only slowed by aches and pains in my right knee which has been an interesting development.

The below are daily totals in multiple sessions
Sunday - 10.5 miles/ 6.7 running
Monday - 6 miles/ 3.5 runing w/ 13 x 1min run/1 min walk,got faster on runs as went

overall a good week.no loss of lbs this week...must continue to think long term.

Weekly summary 4/1 to 4/7/2012

Pretty good second week. Got more miles in with lots of walking. I've noticed, and common sense tells me, I will not burn as many calories walking as running so my predicted weight loss each week may be closer to 3 lbs. than 4. This is fine as long as I think long term.

The below are daily totals in multiple sessions

Sunday - 13 miles/ 7 running

Monday - 6.1 miles/ 4.4 runing + weights for arms/legs/abs

Tuesday - 8 miles/ 5.5 running....weight 224, waist 40.5"

Wednesday - 8 miles/ 4.5 running + same weights in PM

Thursday - 6.3 miles/ 3.2 running....pm easter service
note:eating my larger meal at lunch drags me down in evening, more sluggish...another reminder I've known, but must follow.
Friday - 7 miles/ 3.6 running...2.6 in barefoot shoes +weights in AM.
Saturday - 14 miles/ 8.5 running...12 miles at Allerton while chris did 15miles, nice morning, pretty forest with many colors. l. foot got sore towards end.

Totals: 62.4 miles/ 36.7 running
979 minutes total (16 h 19 mins)
Weight - 223 lbs
waist 40.1"...camedown 1 hole in belt...wearing size 38 pants

great weather...mild and sunny.... lost a couple lbs this week...must think long term.

Weekly summary 3/25 to 3/31/2012
