I ran a nice easy 6 miler this morning with 5 one minute strides at about half marathon pace.  It was a nice refreshing run.

Abs and core work

30 minutes elliptical

I guess that will be the last of the ab and core work until after Boston.  It's so weird doing such little exercise.  The crazy thing is I'm loosing weight doing it.  I stepped on the scale and read 155 this morning.  That's the lightest I've been since last year right before Boston.  I guess that's good as long as I'm feeling strong.

Down another pound to 154 this morning.  I'm not sure why.  I guess I've been focusing on eating more carbs and maybe the change in diet is causing it.  I feel strong and healthy so I guess it is good.  When I get serious about carb loading on Saturday and Sunday I'll probably put a few pounds back on anyways. 

Did a nice easy run this morning with 2 easy, 2 mp, then 2 easy.

This is so weird sitting here checking email and everyone's blogs instead of either being out running or at the gym, but I'm taking a rest day and I think I kind of like it.  I still have an hour before I have to be at work and I'm all ready to go, so I'm just goofing off on the computer.  I think I'll pack tonight so I don't have to worry about it after work tomorrow.  We have to take off around 4 pm to catch our 8:15 flight out Vegas tomorrow.  We then fly the wrong direction to L.A. have about an hour layover and then fly from there to Boston.  That'll be a long flight, but with the right drugs I should be able to sleep the whole thing away.  I can't believe that next week at this time I will have already been back at work for a full day.  That's sad.  I hope the weekend goes slow.  I'm looking forward to seeing every on Saturday.  Travel safely and have fun.

Rest Day:  Zero miles, Zero Cross Training , Zero time.

Maybe I'll stretch and roll my legs a bit.  That would probably be a good use of this extra time.

It was really weird only running 4 miles this morning.  I didn't feel like I ever got warmed up.  I ran 4 easy miles with the first minute of the last 3 miles at 5k pace.  It all felt great.

AP 7:16

To continue my weight loss saga, yesterday I rested completely and really focused on eating carbs all day and drinking a lot of water.  I fully expected to have gained a couple pounds when I hopped on the scale for my morning weigh in.  I alway weigh myself first thing every morning when I get out of bed.  To my suprise, I dropped another pound down to 153.  Go figure.  I guess I'll just have to be more hard core about my eating on Saturday and Sunday in Boston.  Too bad Gary (Smooth's Bro in Law) won't be there to guide me in the art of power eating.  It was amazing to watch him eat last year.
