Title: Scott in Florida - Oct 3 + 8 weeks
Post by: scottinflorida on November 28, 2012, 06:10:50 AM
Dropped 2 pounds this week, not too shabby!  I was concerned because I kept thinking, this is the 7 day period that includes Thanksgiving.  But I really didn't veer off course on Thanksgiving.  And this is also the 7 days that included 21+ miles of running, so that probably helped some.

Speaking of which, I need to get out the door and do 4 miles right now.  My calendar today includes some computer repairs here in my home office, shipping a laptop to Maine, a couple of on-site computer deliveries, and then dinner with my brother in law and nephew who are visiting this week.  I always run first thing in the morning, otherwise it wouldn't happen!

Hope you all have a super-successful week!

Scott

Good for you, Scott! :) :) :)

And Umpa's right!... Staying busy keeps can keep one from grazing in the kitchen.
And it helps prevent false "boredom" hunger. 8)

Good for you...running! That is something I wish I liked but don't.  LOL How do you do it during the really hot months down there? I used to live in Palm Harbor back in the 80s and was in great shape. Several mornings a week I walked to Dunedin beach and back. Mighty hot!

Hi Val - I live in Safety Harbor, not too far from Palm Harbor (I have a lot of computer clients in Palm Harbor).  And we go to church in Dunedin.

I will admit I enjoy running when the weather is cooler, but I ran all through the summer without slowing down, carrying water and staying hydrated.  I guess my trick is that I do my running before the sun comes up.  I like being out there when it's dark, quiet, no traffic, and definitely cooler.  This morning I did my long run of 11 miles and I started out a little before 5 am.  It was light out by the time I finished, but that's because it takes me a couple of hours to do a run like that.  But this time of year the temperature is nice anyway.
