    Happy Saturday, everyone!!

    Cardio: Ran the Brazos Bend 100 trail race. I ran the half-marathon distance. 2 hours, 36 minutes. Felt like a good time considering the heat/humidity and mud. Final race of 2015. 5th half I ran this year (8th overall). What a great year of running I had. Already have 2 races set for Jan. 2016!

    Food: definitely will be under today.

    Late entry for Friday 12/11

    I felt like a human today!

    Cardio: 35 minutes on the elliptical, slacked slightly from my norm

    Strength: Many 1 liter curls of the water bottle

    Assessment: Down for the better part of a week due to fever/sinus infection/antibiotics It sucks not feeling well enough to exercise, and sucks even more not enjoying a favorite meal.

    @ Robert, so glad you're feeling better......haven't had my yearly crap cold or worse yet and I'm dreading it.

    Was planning on a gym day but the gym was closed for emergency something or other concerning the building going on next door.......uggghhh

    Cardio: Spent 50 minutes running with the dog and a bit of walking in between hills............LOL

    Assessment: Scale showed a couple of pounds gain this morning but we partied last night so I'm hoping it's just temporary!!!

    Missed a few days checking in but stayed on plan with both eating and workouts.

    Posting for yesterday, 12/14:

    Cardio: T25 Speed 2.0

    Strength: Push Circuit 1
    So, I'm at that point where my weights are too heavy for my forearms. I'm not gripping tight but I still have trouble. I'm using 15s for bicep curls which is difficult with my forearms but I can do it. But I can't seem to get past using 20s for my squats and lunges because I can't hold weights that are any higher that long. Hmm.

    Assessment: Stayed within calories (steak!)
