We are in the Madera/Fresno/Clovis area this weekend. My half-brother graduated from middle school in Madera on Friday. I packed my gear so I could still do my long-run on Sat, but it is easy to sleep and be a little lazy when on vacation.
Last night I used mapmyrun.com to find a route. I needed to do something since I was neglectful last weekend. I decided to extend my run to 9 miles. I mapped a course close to the "Outlaws". After mapping the run, I looked at the area I was covering and thought...holy smokes that is far. I set a mental goal of 1:25 min and came in at 1:27 something. I was doing pretty good until the 6/7 mile mark. The last two miles were a little tough so I lost some time and had to walk a couple times. The last time I ran 8 I felt better, probably because I did a little better at pre-running fuel. I weighed in at 202.8 on Friday, but don't have a scale to check where I am today. I am hoping to break the 200 mark before my trip to Spain on June 15th. I also plan to pack some gear to run in Spain. There are a couple places I would love to take a 3-5 mile run.
Good luck everyone! It is worth the hard work and sometimes pain. Stay disciplined and eat smaller meals more frequently. I am a believer, even though it seems like eating less and exercise is the trick.
