Running Update

It's getting harder to make myself get up in the morning and go for the long runs. I think the novelty is wearing off, plus the time committment is getting pretty crazy. But once I'm out there it feels great (for the most part). Today I ran 15 miles (a little ahead of my training schedule) in 2 hours 16 minutes. It's a new record for me.

It was also one of the hardest runs yet. My legs were tired and a bit sore from the beginning, perhaps because I wasn't feeling my best this weekend. Or maybe I started out a little dehydrated. I really had to push myself and felt I might have to stop at one point, but ended up finding a deep reserve of energy.

Related to the running: I broke down and bought a scale. It measures body fat percentage (body mass index, actually), which is pretty cool. Basically I want to monitor my body weight/fat % and lose as little as possible! Luckily I found a great restaurant in Charlottesville that serves some bad ass jerk and bbq tofu!
