This was a fairly busy week from an overall fitness perspective. The week before I had a nice cutback week and this week I started building miles again. The plan is to work my base up to 40 miles per week. This week I also started working on dropping another 10 pounds or so.
Ended up at 35 miles for the week. Overall it was a good running week. Hammies have been a little tender, so I've been keeping the effort easy and sticking to flat routes as much as possible. This coming week the planned miles should be 35-37. I'll work on doing more stretching and rolling to loosen up the quads and hammies.
On the weight control front I started using My Fitness Pal to log my food. I like the simple interface and their database is huge. I guessed my starting weight last Monday was about 165. Tuesday when I weighed myself I was 163.5, so I was close on my guess. Friday I was 160.9. Not bad. I want to get to 150-ish and then really learn how to maintain in 2012.
What's up with all of you? How are the holiday preparations coming along? Are you busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest?

Im busier than a one legged cat burying poop... BUT not from running. Oh no Ive been a total lazy butt from running this week, but granted Ive been busy from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed and dont have much time. Im almost done with everything that has kept me busy and Ill be able to run more.
I am indeed that busy. Running was a cutback week last week because I *ahem* forgot to cutback the mileage the week of Thanksgiving. School is keeping me busy. E's school stuff is keeping me busy. Lots to do right now.
