Tuesday night
Supposed to have been a speed training but fighting off the beginnings of a cold, so I decided not to push it. I did one hour at 4.5mph … a nice, steady pace. Supposedly used up some 500 calories. Instead of trying to go fast I was concentrating more on my form. You have to have form down so much you don’t think about it because you’re disqualified if you start doing things like bending your lead leg, or not having one foot down on the ground at all times. The longer the race goes, the worse your form gets. 
I was just under 180 lbs this AM when i got up so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to register 179 come Thursday’s weigh in.
