First night of speed work

WOW! That's some tough stuff. I did half mile out and backs. I ran the half mile out at 10MPH, and the back at 6MPH. Man...if you've never run at a 6 min/mi pace, that is FAST when you're as short as I am. At least it's fast for me.

Incedentally, I weighed in at 186.6 this morning. The 10-day average is a blessing and a curse. It sucks up the strange days where I'm 2 pounds heavy due to food in the system, but since my trend is losing weight, the 10-day average is always higher than my daily weight :( So I was 186.6 today, but my 10-day average is 187.9. It's all good though.

I'm starting my "Belly-Off" workout plan on Monday. It's an 8 week plan that should help a lot with my squishy torso. I've got dynamite legs (obviously, with all this running) and pretty decent arms. My chest, abs, sides, and back, however, are all pretty squishy. This Belly-Off plan has lots and lots of core stuff. We'll see how it goes. It has an eating plan associated that I will be following as well.

Say it with me now "170 for the reunion".... "170 for the reunion". I have 2 months left and 16 pounds to go.
