As it’s mid-winter in snowy Buffalo, New York I’ve been doing my training on a treadmill this week. Sunday is my long run and it’s supposed to be 14 degrees Farenheit for the high (which is minus a shytload Celsius). So, we’ll have to play it by ear. I’ve certainly trained in sub zero weather before but I was 15 years younger and sixty pounds lighter back then.
I ran my one mile just a short while ago. I worked all day and then taking care of the triplets tonight, I was unable to find a minute to train till 10pm EST. It’s fine, I’m more of a night person anyway, and I felt pretty strong running. I did one mile in 12:30. I try to slowly step the speed up one tenth of a mile per hour on the treadmill each time. I’ll keep increasing that till I cannot comfortably up it any longer.
I weighed in this morning at 192 lbs.
We had a fish fry tonight for dinner and I only had a half dozen bites which is a good thing. Normally, fried food appeals to me but it was kinda make me ill. Yes, I know, I’m only 8 days into the new year, but eating better seems to be my upward trend right now.
