I can’t believe it’s been a whole month since I’ve done any official speedwork but since that 5K-ish prediction race is this Saturday, it seemed like a good idea to do my favorite “go to” intervals today.
6 x 1/2 mile with 2:00 recoveries.

Was a good session – 7.25 miles total, with the intervals averaging 3:32 (7:04 pace).  Nothing amazing, but a fine set, especially since yesterday was a long trail run.

On other news, my weight-loss has been going like clockwork; last Monday I weighed in at 124, today I’m 121.5.  And I’m eating pretty much, too, albeit healthier:  measuring portions, more fruit, etc.  Also, as I suspected in a previous post, Daily Plate is too stingy with daily calorie requirements, this one is more generous and even so, I’m losing faster than it would predict.

I also got my mOron the other day (tip of the hat to Julie for such swell renaming) and I love it!  Each morning the number goes down a little more giving me one more reason to happy dance.  Here’s to a few more weeks of continued downward trends!
