July 9, 2011 Saturday Happy Birthday Jerry! 42 days to go
Today marks 6 weeks to go. It's easy day - 30 minutes - but I missed yesterday's speedwork, so I ramped up the easy day workout. Ran in the Beaver Lodge Lands. I started out easy, then increased speed to more like a tempo run then started interspersing fartleks. I did a number of repeats then slowed down to an easy run for the finish. Felt good.
I had a running debate with myself about substituting my missed speedwork. It was tempting but I think at this point to put two hard workouts back to back is counterproductive.
Weight was 154 lb this morning. That was really discouraging. Six weeks to go is sort of a last chance to get some good training and nutrition in. Guess I will have to fall back on my ultra plan - no wheat or milk. This is a regime that I find really hard to stick to. When I do I feel much better. According to my allergy tests I am allergic to wheat and milk. Obviously I am not so allergic to it that I have visible attacks but it does affect my digestion. I see this change as more of a feeling 100% than a diet so not sure how my weight will be affected.
Will start tomorrow.
