I'm a dork. I set my alarm for an hour later than I planned to get up. When I realized what time it was I ran downstairs and out the door just in time to see Randy leaving down the street. I shouted a little but didn't want to wake up the neighbors and I knew I couldn't catch him with my shoes off, so I put on my shoes and went out looking for him. Did a loop around the park and then up Cloverdale to McMillan. I never found him, but felt good pushing my pace till I was in the 7-0 somethings for the last three miles.

Went down Emerald to Maple Grove. Had to push to keep the pace down around 7:50. The weight is still dropping so the plan appears to be working.

I don't know how fast I ran because I forgot to turn on my watch, but it was a pretty easy run today.

I'm getting slower as the week goes on. That's what you get when you run every day I suppose.

Randy's training schedule called for a 10-miler this morning. I did ok for most of the run, but last couple of miles I started struggling. Feeling fatigue and kind of sore in my chest. Then the odd thing, I started getting a side stitch at about 10.5 miles. Maybe I was just hungry. Been keeping the calories down lately. I'm down to 147, about 15lbs from where I was at the start of the year. Skinny = faster

Ran down to the Greenbelt and discovered that they had opened up a new section south of the river heading towards Eagle. That was really cool until I discovered that it stops about a mile before Eagle Road with a fence and a big No Trespassing sign. So I turned around and went back the way I came. That wasn't so fun. Looking at the satellite image, I think I would have been fine jumping the fence, but I didn't know that at the time.
