Wow, I think it’s been a whole month since I last posted.  I have been unsuccessful at losing any weight.  The good news is that I have not gained any weight. I still weigh about 157 lbs.

And it still really sucks running with that extra weight.   The only race I am excited about is Bridge to Bridge, the mountain century that I want to do in September.   I really don’t want to do any triathlons at this weight.  It will suck too much.  I know, I am comparing myself to my former “lean mean triathlon machine” self.   I either need to find my way back there, or get over it.  Red pill. Blue pill.  The blue pill tempts me.

I did have some nice lunch time runs at work in the sewer easement.   My friend and co-worker, Scottie, calls me a sewer rat!

Here are some tweets from one of those runs, reverse cron order.  If I had any spare time in my life, I’d clean this up and embed the pictures.  But, work is kicking my ass lately, so I have no time.  Still love the job and the people, but it is really quite demanding.

Garmin confirms that i ran fast on the pipes yesterday (laps 2,6). something ab focusing on balance makes fast easy.http://t.co/N19hOuc
