Had another good paced Tuesday morning run with Will. We ran 6 miles in 57 minutes, with about a 9:30 pace. It's about 4-5 months out from the Corvallis half marathon and my goal is to run that race at a 9:00 min/mile pace in order to finish in under 2 hours.
I missed this weekend's hill run, then stepped on the scale to find my weight listed as 206 lbs. I had been down to 191 coming into September. This revelation made me mad and I started our run today at around an 8:30 pace and nearly burned out half way through the run. This is where having a training partner really helps - he was holding his target pace so I slowed down thinking there might be a problem. Turns out he was just running smart.
I need to get my nutrition back on track, and mix things up and shed a couple pounds. Basically stay away from carbs / fried foods.
I won't be going to volunteer at IMAZ this weekend; unable to put the airfare $$ together. I'll be on the computer trying to get in that way Monday morning.
Last note - found out last week that I have kidney stones and low iron; going to be scheduling a CT scan soon.
