I’m altering my de-flabbification program, stretching it out to Labor Day to make the goal more attainable and not to set myself up for disappointment.  Since it is only a bit more than a week until the Alaska Cruise, I don’t have a lot of time to make progress before then, and I’ll probably gain weight on the boat.

So the new plan is to get my weight down under 165 pounds by Labor Day.  That’s about 5 to 6 pounds of loss in  around 10 weeks.

During that time I hope to build my running mileage base up to around 30 miles per week.  I’m a bit cautious, however, because I have felt some recurring pain in my right Achilles tendon.   I have to go VERY easy on speed owrk.
