Great Shape?!

I have done such a bad job keeping track of my miles. I can't even remember what I ran this last week. I know I ran a 5 mile on Saturday and then a 4 mile on Wednesday and surely I ran something last Thursday or Friday I just can't remember what.

My 4 mile run on Wednesday was great. The weather was wonderful and a felt really good. I made it the whole way with out taking a walking break. I only paused shortly once so I could get the spray of a sprinkler. I love running under sprinklers. I love when I am running and I get a mile or two in and realize I am barely out of breath and feeling great. I am definitely in the best cardiovascular shape I have probably ever been in. I wish I could say the same about the rest of me.

Actually the last couple weeks I've actually gained a couple pounds. How annoying is that. I think it is due to my decrease in mileage. For a while I was running close to 25 miles a week with several long runs. I have cut back drastically but I'm still eating like I'm running 25 miles a week hence the extra pounds. So I need to ramp up the mileage or change the way I'm eating or really Ideally both. But exercising more is so much easier than eating less. I just love to eat. Yet I know I don't eat well I'm addicted to sugar and I snack way to much and I have so little self control when it comes to food. Still gaining weight is not an option so hmmmm. I
plan to go for a run tonight I think I'll go for 5 miles I haven't run a good 5 miler in a long time.
