The LONG road back...

3 days straight. That's right f-ers. Look out.

I will post my workout if for no other reason than to clearly demonstrate the stark difference between good training (see posts from Ed and Chris) and really poor training.

I did an LT today (before the polls opened!!!). My first LT since late August according to my training log. 35 minutes at a 7:13/mile pace which demanded an average heart rate of 84% from me. Wow is that bad.

Given that 7:13/mile is slower than my fairly recent (last year) long run pace -- I'm amazed (and amused) by how far I've fallen and fast I got here.

On the positive side -- I ran 10 total miles today -- pushing my weekly mileage to 32 with 4 days left in the week.

The negative -- 165 pounds (16.3% Body Fat).

Damn you pizza.

Lent starts tomorrow. I'm giving up everything but work and running... and maybe one or two other non-food related things.

Richard: Better send me the lemon diet directions.
