Took 2 days off in a row this week, as this week is a fallback week. Every 3 will either lower my milege or take an extra day off. I think I'll just stick to running less as I was lathargic and woke up late. The cigarettes I had last night did not help.

It's stupid hot outside in Phoenix. There is a HUGE difference running when the sun comes out

Last night was my aniversary and I pigged out on stuff that I did not need. But I had a lot of energy to burn.

HR is going down and is a good indication of how far I've come to be in shape. First week, my HR was almost 160.

I am getting used to running in the heat more and more. I did walk about .5 miles or so at about the halfway mark and that took my time and pace down. Run felt great and increased my weekly Mileage by 2. I will have my HR monitor this week and would like to see how I improved.

I thought I was going to have a rough time this morning seeing that I ran just 12 hours earlier. But even though I was a little stiff, had a good time and ran very well. The temp makes a huge difference as it was 80 degrees and much better for running. Did not stop at all and am beginning to miss my HR monitor.

I am eating much better and have begun to show signs of losing weight.

Note to self: Do not run when the tempeture is 110 degrees outside and you had pizza for lunch. No energy, hot, uncomfortable, and tired after work. according to these stats, I really struggled. I can't imagine what my HR was as I got dizzy, tired, and just wanted to go home.
