Good morning!

Headed into week 3. My right knee is a little stiff, but nothing too serious. Felt that way Saturday, and was fine for running.

Hit the 10 lb mark today as well. Off to a great start!

You only get better with age, right?

While I haven't set a specific goal, I think getting back under 250 is a good one. 240 as a stretch goal. Good to state it out loud, I suppose. :)
 
Back to lifting...

WU - jog 1 mile: 11:23. Running at a natural pace on the track. Shaved 48 seconds off my run from Monday with no real increase in effort. :thumbs:

Outdoor running. 70 deg and overcast, but still OK.

I skipped about a week of the training program. I'm past where it was, and only have 3 weeks until the 5k. No need to screw around.

Out of town for a conference, but so far so good. Got in an outdoor 2 mile run yesterday with the new running shoes. Felt great!

Also, as a speaker they've taken really good care of me. They put me in a suite with a full kitchen, so hit the grocer last night for eggs, avocado, salsa and bison. Breakfast is covered, yo.

Went out with the conference team last night. They wanted pizza. I managed to get out with baked wings. :)
 
hiya Py!

Work is good, plenty of travel but interesting.
 
My knee has been a little cranky the last few days, so I decided to ease up and take a couple of days off. It's the outside ligament (LCL), which I sprained doing squats years ago, so I know that pain.

Anyway, it's not a lot better, but I know that running isn't generally a problem, so laced them up and id a 5k on my own in the park. Got in at 44:11 (was hoping to be under 45, so there you go). Two weeks until the "official" race, so at least I know I can handle the distance without too much trouble.
 
Back from the road. Went to the gym to run since it's a wet day outside. Did 5k at 38:48, which is about 5 1/2 minutes faster than my Saturday run. Some of that was the indoor element, I'm sure, but I'll take it!
 
My first time doing 5k on consecutive days. Ran outside this time. Clocked in at 41:16. While this is a couple of minutes off yesterday's pace, it is a second day of running. More importantly, though, this was outside, and is almost 3 minutes faster than my last outdoor run, which makes this a PR. w00t!

Took the weekend off, partially for rest, partially for other reasons. Back today on track with diet, 45 min on the bike. Plan to run tomorrow, then run the Saturday race. Not planning to run between, but we'll see how the knee feels.
 
Ran about a mile yesterday to loosen up, followed by bike work.

Out in the park today for my final tune up before my "official" 5k. Came in at 42:53. Off the pace from my last run, but still under the 45 min mark, which was my target at the start. Now for a couple of days of rest. Will probably still work the bike, but taking it easy on the knee until race time.
