I have to say the last couple days I have felt better than I have in two weeks. I didn’t feel that after taking off so many days that a 15 miler was a good thing to do over the weekend. As for my body, I feel a little weak so I will be doing some cross training today (rope jumping) as well as my resistance. The best part about all of that is I can do it all at home since the resistance is mostly the stability ball and dumbbells. The week will mark The Return of Mr. Marathoner. What’s really cool is that I can add to this post a little later to tell you how it went.

As you know a big part of what I am trying to do is drop weight and with that diet plays a key role. I had really been slacking there for the last 4 weeks or so as I wasn’t eating every three hours or at times eating too much. As of yesterday I am back on a strict eating regiment. Today I have a little headache after going through the withdrawals yesterday of wanting “something” else to eat.  I ate properly yesterday so I realized that the headache was because I didn’t drink enough water, that’s an easy fix. Second day today of back to eating properly and I already feel the progress being made. With each day it gets easier.

My mom’s birthday is today. She just keeps on getting better with age. Everything she has ever taught me has come to pass. Happy Birthday!!!

I’ll be posting later to tell you about my workout.

I had to do this at least once (post twice in a day). The next time I am sure won’t be until one of my races, but you never know. The workout wasn’t too difficult today as I went with jumping rope in the garage to get myself back into it. I don’t want to say the “S” word but jumping rope does work your shins quite a bit. The resistance does look easier on paper but it isn’t as easy as I thought. I guess it shouldn’t be. Not much to write because I should be back at the blogging again tomorrow. I do feel very good right now and that’s a good thing.
