Today’s run was …meh.

It wasn’t fabulous or awful. I guess that means I got it done. Quite a bit of snow to contend with so I’m not concerned about not hitting 8:00 min/mile pace.

Distance: 7.08 miles
Time: 59 minutes
Pace: 8:20 min/mile
Average Heart Rate: 170 (that makes this run a pretty strong effort anyway)

The toe thing is ok. I can tell it is somewhere under the surface but it does seem to be gradually going away.

One last thing for today: I’m still losing weight – although the pace of which is slowing down. Today, I weighed in at 164. This has got to be a 15 year low for me. I am starting to be able to see a bit more of the place where abdominal muscles are supposed to exist. I find myself fascinated with the fact that I can pinch my love handle skin (there used to be too much thickness there before to pinch). Anyway, I must stop pinching my shrinking love handles. It’s. Just. Odd.

You’re doing great, keep it up. Good news on the weight loss. That will contribute quite a bit to a faster time – especially over 26 miles.

Are you doing anything specifically to lose the love handles? I’m struggling with those too, and, while I’ve dropped to nearly the same weight as you (from a high of 181 in mid Dec) I’m still concerned about my middle–and dragging unnecessary weight over the road. Didn’t matter nearly as much when I was on the bike! :)
