Ugh. I ate so much last night. I'm nearly 170 this morning. Clearly today's run calls for a fat burning aroebic base run. 10.2 miles in 1:14:22 (7:17s). Post run weight was 164. I really need to focus on bringing my morning weight back down near 160-162 by the end of January. Shouldn't be a problem.

2:30pm, 30 degrees and a light breeze. Today's run was a 1/2 marathon base paced run. I wasn't sure of the exact distance while I was doing it, but I thought it was around 12 miles. While I was running the pace felt like it was a very easy and casual work load. I would have guessed the pace to be around 7:20. According to google maps though it was 13.1 in 1:31:55 (7:01s). Quite a bit faster than I thought. I hope this is not an inaccurate google map measurement. It happens now and then. At any rate. That's it for this year, just 4 miles short of 2200.

50 degrees at noon. Did a 14.65 mile run. Was defnitely shot at the end, but tried to keep it base pace and not slip too much into M-pace. 1:43:40 (7:05s).
