Weigh In Day & Running Totals for 20 Jul 09

Well I am happy that another week is about to get under way. Now it seems that I just sleep my day off away in preparation for my long run on Monday morning. Whatever makes this go by a little quicker. Not really too much to talk about. My run today was a pretty good one. It seems that the day away from running helps my shin splint recover a little bit but then I do a long run and then I am back in the same situation for the rest of the week. Or at least that is how it went last week. Hopefully things will be a little more pain free this week. Today I ran 13.11 miles, burned 2,374, and I ran for 133 minutes. All in all it was a good run but I was a little worn out at the end. Next week we move on to 14 miles which should be awesome. The longest I ran in Kuwait was 13.1 so I will surpass that this coming Monday. I weighed in today at 239.6 lbs. which I am very pleased about. I just don't get the weight loss thing. One week I can run forever and not lose a pound and then this week I feel like I have slacked off a little bit and I didn't think I would lose anything and boom, I'm down 6 more pounds. Whatever, as long as it keeps coming off. That brings my total weight loss to 43 lbs. since I arrived here in Afghanistan. If I can keep this up I will definitely be in the 220's by the time I leave here. As long as my legs can keep up the pace. Well I love and miss you all very much and I hope you all had a great weekend. Until next time...
