Tues, Aug 13 - 2.4 miles

A few weeks ago I PR'd on my local 2.4 mile trail in 23 minutes for a 9:35 pace. I went out today to run a solid start and gauge from there. If I felt good, go for a new PR. If not, then let up and enjoy the run. I went thru the 1st 'checkpoint' in PR time so I kept it up. Never pushed, just made sure I ran strong. Still walked the steepest section. I ended up PRing again by 34 seconds in 22:26. The run felt really controlled. I actually had on my shoes I run the road in and the trail was somewhat wet so I wasn't able to run aggressively. The good news (I'm looking at it like good news) is that I am also the heaviest I have ever PR'd. Can't wait 'til I am down to my goal weight, which right now is about 25 pounds lighter.

I did weigh in at 195.4 this morning; the lowest I've been since spring.
