Decided it's finally time I start whittling down to my race goal weight of 160 pounds. There are only 44 more days 'till I toe the line at Silverton. I've been weighing in between 167 and 171 for over a month now. One would think it wouldn't be hard to drop 7 pounds in 1.5 months, but my dietary habits aren't exactly anywhere near decent, and I am unwilling to make any compromise in my alcohol consumption. I went into HR last year at 165 pounds, which worked out well, but I think I'd be better just a little lighter. Five pounds over 100 miles of mountains makes a pretty significant difference.
I'll start posting my weight when I can just to hold me accountable. I have a digital scale at my place. Katie has been unable to find a scale that can record her weight, so when I stay there I can't keep track. Which is a bad thing, since she is also the one who can cook and I eat a lot more at her place than mine.
Of course, the diet will start tomorrow, as there is free pizza and beer at the CRC tonight!
Fat ass.
ReplyDeleteI always try to gain a little with the longer races. It is the 10ks that you have to be bone thin to run fast.
ReplyDeleteYou have 6 weeks of 200 mile training weeks to get it down. Piece of cake.
e Katie kicked you in the balls for that comment.
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to say 'I hope...' I don't know where the first few letters went.
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly skin and bones at 160.
ReplyDeleteAA - Tony K has run 1000 miles in a month before, maybe I should go for his record. And next year I won't start training for HR until June!
