Training for Donna is going right according to schedule. I had an 8 mile run scheduled yesterday. It was one of those absolutely perfect runs. They don't happen all that frequently for me on my long runs but I held my 2:1 interval through the whole 8 miles without exception. Even up the hills. My pace was a bit faster than I've seen thus far in my training so that was encouraging also. I have a ways to go when it comes to speed but I also have 14 weeks till the race to work on it.
I'm still going strong with my fitbit and myfitnesspal. The scale moved a bit for me last week which was encouraging. I won't say too much about the discouraging move that followed. I have no idea how I can gain weight when I am burning thousands more calories than I am taking in each week. I'm not giving up though. The overall progress outweighs the minor setbacks and I am still motivated. Thanksgiving is coming though and I am a bit nervous. I don't want it to derail me but I also don't want to miss out on my favorite food holiday.
It feels so good to be back in a running groove. I can tell such a difference in my attitude when I take the time to run and burn off some of my stress and frustration.
