Went for a 4 mile run yesterday, and it felt GREAT. I am finally at a point where the limiting factor is my muscle tone, not my heart and lung capacity. Ended up going to a Zac Brown concert (YES REALLY) with Charley, and by the end of the day I put in 7+ miles plus dancing.
For the next three weeks I'm teaching up at a middle school about two miles from home, so my plan is to walk to it to maintain my current momentum. After that, it's back to AM and weekend runs until Peru, and after that I have 8 am classes so I'll figure something out. Maybe after-class swimming, maybe evening runs.
I'm holding steady at 155, my plan is to be at 145 at the end of this month and 140 by the time I leave for my trip. It's a little aggressive but well within the bounds of reason.
