Tuesday Tempo Run!

Monday weigh-in: 201 lbs. (-2)

Better, but my weight is still fluctuating at this stage. The good news is that my cardiovascular system is getting stronger, and that is allowing me to work harder when I run. The pounds will start coming off more consistently as my mileage goes up.

Tuesday's workout: 2.25 mi. tempo run

I'm making Tuesday tempo day. For the non-running crowd, to do a "tempo run" means to start at a slow pace and push it up to race pace (about 1-2 minutes faster than comfortable jogging, typically) toward the middle of the run, slowing back down to finish. It worked well last week at 12-10-12 pace, so I pushed it to 12-10-8:30-10-12 today. 8:30 was my marathon race pace back in 2005-2006, and I touched it for about 4 1/2 minutes today. Feeling stronger, and feeling encouraged.

Time for some pizza!

    Jason,
    Great news on your running and endurance picking up.

    I must say that I am slightly concerned about all this talk of pizza and doughnuts though. How do they fit in the equation - could that be another blog? :P

    Keep it up with the running!
    A
