weight: 137.8

calories: it's the weekend, didn't count today (or yesterday, or Friday... the auction)

Speaking of the auction, here is a picture of me and Alex's 4th grade teacher on Auction night

Auction was super fun, and yes, I signed up for a marathon training group in my drunken state while I was there, with my BFF Anna also signing up, so looks like there might be a marathon in our future. Shoot!!

My weight goal for this week is to see 135.0 on the scales again.  I've seen it once in the last 6 months, and I want to see it again.  I'm happy that I now consistently weigh in at 137, but I want to keep loosing weight.  So I really need to step it up with trying to be around 1500 for calories consumed for the day. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Here is the running week training in HR training world so far. 

WK 3	Zone 2 Thursday	Zone 3 Saturday	Zone 2 Sunday	Zone 1 Monday
	40 min. actual  4 miles (43 mins)	2 x 10 min; 5 min jog in between 2 x 12 mins 3.69 total	35 min. actual  3 miles  (32 mins)	60 min. March 7th	17

Yesterday, my zone 3 workout was hard, but good.  I lost all my data for it, though because I keep forgetting to turn my watch off after the workout, and it was on for about 2 hours afterwards.

But it went something like this: 

I warmed up starting 5 minutes, 3.1 to 3.5, and then ran at 5.0 for 5 minutes.  

I started at 7.0 and ended for the first 12 minutes at 6.6 (9.05 mins).  The second 12minutes I ended at 6.3, which I think was 9.32.

And now, for my long run on Monday.  I originally planned it so that I would back off on my mileage, but I'm actually feeling good, so I think I might do 85 minutes of zone 1 instead.

So, running is going well!

Here is my modified plan as of February 28th, I may do some more tweeking after the long run on Monday:
