A great week has just ended...

I had a great week this past week. My training was on target with 15 miles during the week. Yesterday our weekly long training session was 12 miles. It was a challenge because we were starting a new sign up session for winter and one of our assistant coaches was gone. So we started and went out for 4 miles, came back to the park and picked up the half marathoners and did 8 more miles. To the top of the 17th Street causeway bridge and back. Then we met some of the new guys that were starting their training yesterday. The miles were really without much consequence nor interesting stories to tell, but it was good that we were able to finish with the high temperatures and humidity. Cat walked with us and told us about her joining the 50 state/50 marathon club. One one thing that happened was that Barbara was out doing 6 miles. Her speed is improving and she is excited about getting back into training. Disneyland will be so much fun with her walking the course with me.

As I have mentioned before, I am training amongst other things for the Goofy Challenge in January. A half marathon on Saturday and a full marathon the next day, Sunday. Today I started to train a bit more specific for that. I did 4 miles instead of taking today off, Sunday. I feel good. When I woke up this morning it was raining so I thought good excuse I can skip. But something deep inside said don't skip today or else it will be easy to skip every day. I went to my apartment gym and did 4 miles on the thread mill. Not as good as outside, but I got the miles in.

This week I did over 31 miles in training. I lost a little over 2 pounds. i feel good and I hope to keep the momentum going. I thank you all for your support and I can feel the difference. Have a great week and continue on.
