Day 85

Last night I attempted to run 35 minutes again. It was so hard! I ran out of steam at 28:30 minutes. I slowed down my pace to a 10:00 mile pace (from 8:00) and continued at that for about 3 minutes and then switched back. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it is the whole running on a treadmill thing. After a five minute cooldown, I did the elliptical for 20 minutes.

Nothing planned for today. Tomorrow I want to do a long road bike ride. Maybe the one out to East Yorba Linda. I need to do at least 30 miles. The bike portion of the race is 56 miles. Wow! Feeling great though. I've lost a pound a day since I got back from Utah, which is good considering I gained about 4 pounds over the previous two weeks. I also cooked dinner at home three times this week. I also tried to adjust my breakfasts by eating oatmeal instead of cereal. I did that four days this week. I am very proud of myself. I am going to try to save the sweets for the weekend. I passed up a cupcake offer from Skyler.
