Running Progress - week 5 and a half

I keep sneaking a little bit of weight off, but not nearly at the rate I had hoped.  Worse, I am now at 171, one of my weight loss plateaus where my body decides that it really likes its current fat and would prefer to keep it. Breaking through that can be a pain.

Went out to run 14 miles today. My routes are random and a bit unpredictable.  I think my body and subconscious teamed up to find some short cuts.  I ended up doing 13.6.  This added 1.6 miles to last week and cut off about 10 seconds per mile. Nice improvement.

Only 16 days until the race and I will stop serious outings about 5 days beforehand. Almost done with my training.  Yeah!
