Run day

8 x 1min 6mph pace

44min 3mph pace

A little easier today. My HR stayed under 130 throughout. My legs are still weak but it won't be long.

Walk day

4.5 miles - 3mph

I was supposed to bike yesterday but the heat was up about 105 so I decided against it so I took yesterday as a rest day. Today I stayed home with a sick kid and worked hard to stay under my calorie goal. I was doing great until I unknowingly consumed 600 calories worth of pistachios. Who would have known those things have that many calories. Anyway I tried to make it up on the treadmill. Tomorrow is my run day so I'll duplicate my Monday run. My weight has skyrocketed. This has happened to me a few times. I think it is a combination of water retention, muscle gain and my body adjusting to reduced calories. I think it thinks it needs to retain fat or something. Anyway, I'm not going to pay it much mind right now. Next week I'll be adding a morning walk for everyday plus my training ride or run in the evening this usually gets my metabolism rocking in short order.

Run day

5min warmup 3mph

8 x 1 min 6mph

39min 3mph

My first runs in months. How things have changed. A lot of stuff on my body is jiggling. I've got a long way to go but if I keep my calorie intake to 1500 I should be back to where I was in about a month or so. I'm working to 1 goal and that is a 30 min 5k by the end of the year. I ran a 32 shortly before I stopped my program several months ago. I should be able to make it.

Walk day

3.25 - 3mph

I'll be starting my runs tomorrow. To be honest I consumed nearly 6000 calories yesterday. It might seem like a joke but I really did. I probably shouldn't have bought that margarita machine over the summer.
