I've found that to be the single most difficult thing to change, although I do have my doubts about my scale. Good luck with the marathon. I'm thinking about doing CIM this December. It makes sense because it literally goes one block by my house, and it's a fast relatively flat course. I've got my work to do to get ready for it. Awesome about the bodyfat percentage.

Wooohooo!! by Pheidippides http://blog.bodybuilding.com/swimriderundave/2008/08/01/officially-in-the-60s-wooohooo/#comment-2813552 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:15:48 +0000 http://blog.bodybuilding.com/swimriderundave/2008/08/01/officially-in-the-60s-wooohooo/#comment-2813552 Congrats on the weight loss. I'm impressed by your mileage and workouts -- I hope I can get up to 40 mpw running without my Achilles tendon giving out. Glad you survived the earthquake. I was living in L.A. at the time of the Northridge quake in 94 and I will never forget that. It woke us up and sounded like it was going to bring the whole apartment building crashing down (it didn't). Keep up the great workouts and keep us posted on the results. I appreciate the comment, btw. You are right, it's long term training that counts, not the one week results. I feel like I've finally taken my running, though, to a level that I can build on to achieve my goals. Pretty excited about that. Congrats on the weight loss.

Glad to hear that you are seeing gains with your strength - you are definitely doing something right when you see those gains! The weight will change when your body is ready to give it up - meanwhile, keep being consistent in all the other areas, and it will surely follow! With a brutal training plan like the one you've outlined, how could it not! Have a great week. :) What a detailed and thoughtful plan for your training, Dave!
