Misc (The DVD) 40:00 [2]
weight:183lbs

On leave today...just because. Lazy day, but I was motivated to do the core workout, and I did.

Calves are really sore from the hills on Saturday and the looser snow conditions yesterday, especially the muddier course in the afternoon. It was hard to keep upright at times going downhill, and I wished I had something to slide down the power line clearing on. That would have been fun!

Tomorrow - an hour walk/hike.

10 AM

O Training (Happyland Yellow) 40:09 [3] *** 3.0 km (13:23 / km) +90m 11:38 / km
shoes: Pink!! Ice Bugs

Thanks to Sandy, I was able to get out on the Yellow course earlier, rather then later.
2 PM

O Training (Happyland White) 19:21 [3] 2.3 km (8:25 / km) +65m 7:22 / km
shoes: Pink!! Ice Bugs

Really surprised that I went out again 3 hours later, but things were going well, and people kept asking me if they could help. So, I geared up again to run around the White course, which was the opposite direction of the Yellow course, otherwise I would have passed.

Left the watch behind and had the goal to beat the first official White finisher in 23:57, and under 10 min per k would be nice too. No errors, and only flagging a bit on the last two uphills.

It was an excellent day!
3 PM

Trail Run 10:00 [2] 0.75 mi (13:20 / mi)
weight:183lbs shoes: Pink!! Ice Bugs

O Training (PWNF) 3:00:00 [2] 6.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
weight:183lbs shoes: Pink!! Ice Bugs

Sandy led us around most of tomorrow's QOC blue course at Prince William National Forest. About 1-2 inches of snow, but easy to walk on. Conditions were great, and I was loving the calorie burning activity.

Of course, I totally blew any gain on dinner, wine, and jujyfruits (whole box!!). But, it was a good day, so I can live with that.

Note

Week 4: 183 (0 -7)
Week 3: 183 (-1 -7)
Week 2: 184 (-2 -6)
Week 1: 186 (-4 -4)
Start: 190

Average mood: mixed, highs and lows, one extreme or the other...

Trail Run (W&OD under icey snow) 30:00 [2] 2.5 mi (12:00 / mi)
weight:184lbs shoes: Pink!! Ice Bugs

Planned to run at school today, but I was enjoying a quiet office (schools closed), and I didn't get around to it.

Uncharacteristically, I managed to get up and out the door after the after work rest period with Roger. I made sure I didn't fall asleep tonight like last night, which only helped to contribute to yesterday's major excesses.

Put on the ice bugs and ran down to the bike trail figuring it would be packed snow, and it was. An excellent workout, and I really felt like I was pushing myself hard, but not struggling with breathing. Very pleased.

Walking 15:00 [1] 0.75 mi (20:00 / mi)

Walked back up the hill to the house, and also added the walk to the subway for lunch today.

Note
weight:182lbs

Oh, well, I blew today, but that is OK, since I was a superstar yesterday!

Yesterday: Ran an hour, ate no sweets, drank no wine, Loseit says I was -1K calories. Yeah!
Today: No exercise, lots of snickerdoodles, bottle of wine, don't even want to try to put the calories into loseit. Sigh!

Tomorrow is another day.

Running (Treadmill) 1:00:00 [2] 5.2 mi (11:32 / mi)
weight:182lbs

Plan was to run on the dirt track at work, but I forgot until I got there that I had an eye appointment today.

So, after lying down with Roger after work, the treadmill was the only viable option for today. Too bad since it was in 40s.

Ran 40 minutes, broke to find something for Roger, and then the last 20 minutes. Hips really stiffened by the end.

Walking warm up/down 5:00 [0] 0.2 mi (24:59 / mi)
