    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! No clients this morning and then 1 this evening then TKO. Off of goal last month by a 2lbs. Harder to lose little by little as I get older. Oh well, that just means I'll have to work harder and that's nothing new to me.

    Cardio: run/jog 2 miles (300 calories)

    Strength: quads- leg press, squat, leg extension 12,10,8,6 x 4

    Assessment: Sushi did me in yesterday.

    Happy Saturday!!

    Cardio: Ran in The Woodlands Marathon Relay. 4 person team, so we each ran about 6.5 miles, though looks like my part was only 6 miles (they must have had exchange point wrong). 61 minutes.

    Food: on target.
    How was the weather?

    It sucked! Cold and raining. The rain had stopped before I had to do my leg of the relay, though. And I know cold is relative...it was in the low 40's, unseasonably cold for us, but none of the ice/snow issues other people have had. It tied my first half for coldest race I've run. At least it didn't have the winds my first half had (25mph gusts).

    Yeah, when I hear that people have to run in cold weather, you'd think that they'd be happy because of less sweating, but it does make a difference in some's performance.

    I will take the cold over heat any day for running. Makes a huge difference on what pace you can maintain. I admit my summers get miserable and my pace shows it.

    That said, there's a point when it's a little too cold. Really, the rain was what made it suck so much. And, since I was the last leg of the relay, I was waiting for my teammates to finish before I could go. Was hard to time my warm-up so that I stayed warm enough before racing. My first relay, so all a good learning experience. :)
