Hey Sean, got my run in - how about you? This one was easier for some reason.

W7D2 done. Easier than last time. Maybe it was the shoes... now I need to get me some sox that work. In my round and round route there is a relatively small hill which I was trying to do in tiny steps to see if it made it easier - which is did. Next run is on the road with the big, scary hill - I'll see if I do any better with that hill this week.

as my weight comes down i feal cold at night but rest of the time im short sleves thin pants whatever any way dose moving boxes in and out of walk in closet to get all Christmas stuff into my family room count as strength training cause i am definitely not getting any formal work out done today

Shooting out off the starting line from adrenaline is always a mistake. You chose wisely! Most folks shoot out like a bullet and run their fastest mile, then they have a difficult second mile and do the "dying man's shuffle" in the final mile. BAD. Smart racers negative split races. That means you start out at an easy comfortable pace and each mile you pick up your pace. On the final mile, you are warmed up, in your groove and running your fastest mile. You pass all the people doing the dying mans shuffle and it boosts your spirit and energy even more. This is the best way to use your energy for racing and maximises performance. It also feels awesome. I try and negative split every run other than my really long ones. On those I'm just trying to maintian my pace and finish the distance. Once I lock that distance in I can focus on speeding up.

Thats how my dad did his 2 halfs and one full he was never in it for the time just to prove he could do them and that was back way before the first car phones or beepers you read books and magazines to learn what to do and how to train no apps
