I had suggested that the weigh-in last Monday was an aberration, but then proceeded to have a day of eating everything including the kitchen sink and saw my number blow up to 174.0 on Tuesday. But from that point on, the weight dropped off quickly and I was below 170 again on Friday.

I've been having some issues with getting 5 days of running in per week for the last month. This is largely due to needing to re-arrange my schedule to work with my daughter on her karate. She tests for her black belt on 5/2, and the past 4-6 weeks have involved practice of some sort just about every evening. I've had some challenges with getting motivated to be on the treadmill 3x during the week, or else some kind of complicating event that has robbed me of one of the two days on the weekend. That trend continued this past week; March 9-15 was the last time I had 5 days of running. But the distance on the runs is moving upwards as I continue to prep for a half marathon this summer/fall. I'm over 20 miles/week now and should be in the 25 mile range in May.

10k coming up in 6 days. Will be dialing back the workouts mid-week to make sure I'm well rested for that day. I'll have a few friends running that race with me, and I'm hoping to stay close to a friend who was about 4-4.5 minutes faster than me over 10k last July.
