Running

I love to run.  Theoretically I could use this blog as a means to track my running progress, goals, and challenges.  I don't think I'll do that, but maybe I'll write about what I did yesterday.

I don't consider myself overweight, but I do like to be able to look good.  Running is my other motivation to loose weight.  Keeping an extra 5 pounds off can be the difference between a great run and an inspirational run.  So I've tried to keep my weight around 170 with the ideal goal weight at 165.  Well today I weighed 175 ... Ukkk.  This last round of Halloween and family parties has given me an excuse to overeat.  But not really.

So yesterday I did pretty well.  Ate fresh fruit in the morning, salad for lunch.  Even went for an afternoon run for 5 miles at a 7:24 pace.  Dinner wasn't too bad either as I had a yummy Mexican salad Deb prepared.  And then, I got weak.  We we're having some guests over to play ping pong (sweet sweet ping pong).  Deb made some incredibly awesome cookies, and I could help but eat 3 (possibly 4).

Not too bad of a day, in reality.  But If I want to meet my goal, I "better be better".
