4/6: 171.8
4/13: 168.8
4/20: 169.6
4/27: 1708.8
5/4: 166.8
So a big dip between weeks. And I only got two short runs in, with my total distance between runs dipping by something like 300% compared to the week leading up to the 4/27 weigh-in.
The secret? Stomach flu. Hit hard Thursday night, and it both cleaned me out and killed my appetite. Something tells me that is not a sustainable trick for losing another four pounds by next week or five pounds month-over-month ...
So, heading into May have a couple of thoughts:
1.) That 165-166 weight for my 5/23 race is entirely in my hands at this point.
2.) With my daughter having passed her black belt test on Saturday (freeing me up from nightly prep activities), I'm now going to have some more time on my hands. Hopefully a decent portion of this goes towards my fitness goals.
3.) Temp increases really hit me hard on run yesterday. I'm sure part of it was from lack of hydration, coming off being sick, etc but I'll need to make some adjustments to deal with higher temperatures during runs. Particularly the longer ones. Early morning runs mentioned last week have to start ASAP.
