I stepped on the Tanita several times this week and I floated between 8.7 and 8.4% bodyfat.  I’m sure the accuracy of the scale leaves much to be questioned but the precision of it is what matters; the important thing is that 4 months ago, the same scale read 15% and now it reads 8.4.  Running is at an all time high as far as consistency is concerned and I’ve become more and more excited about making my attempt to qualify for Boston this December.  I’ve changed my ‘A’ priority race from the California International Marathon (sacramento) to the Las Vegas Marathon.  They’re both in December and they’re both relatively flat so I didn’t have any problem switching when I found out that a bunch of my friends were going to do Las Vegas.  Physical Therapy School starts again on the 25th so I plan on doing my best to maintain my weekly run mileage.

Stay tuned for more progress pics and info,

Today I stepped on the scale and it read 1-6-7!!  167 lbs……its been a while since I’ve been this light.  I’m sure some of it has to be water but the fact of the matter is, I’m in the 60’s now.  I’ve got 23 miles of running in so far this week.  I’ve got 3 days to reach my goal of 44 for the week so I figure I’ll run 7’s the next 3 days.  The more important goal is to get 170 miles in for the month.  As far as my ‘B’ priority targets are concerned, I’ve got 3 days to finish 5000 yards of swimming and 130 miles of cycling.  From the looks of things, I’ll probably fall short on the cycling goal and that’s only because I’m helping my brother move this weekend.  I’ll be able to ride at least 35 today (I got 35 in on Monday) but there’s no way I’m going to have the time required to finish the remaining mileage this weekend.  I guess that’s why it’s a ‘B’ priority goal.  Anyway, stay tuned for more progress and pics!!
