Well I've just made a fine mess of myself. I haven't weighed myself in a while cause I was scared, and today I found out it was for good reason. I've gained 15 lbs since Christmas, and can barely run a 7:00 pace.

8 miles on the ol' treadmill at Lifetime in 58:00 7:15 avg pace.

I know it will all come back, but dang. How did I let myself go so bad?

You can get back, just get over the injuries and put in the proper training as your health returns. It is all about balance in life...food/exercise, fun food/good for you food, work/family, work/exercise. It is quite a challenge but you are up to it as you have proven in the past.

Thanks Jeff, I know it will come back. I'm just mad at myself for letting myself go so bad so quick. I really need to find that balance, I probably have the worst job in the world for balance, running was the only thing that brought my worlds together and when I couldn't run anymore it started falling apart. Plus my St. George performance didn't help my moral much either.

I've gained 10 pounds since October if that makes you feel any better ;) you'll be fine, don't stress about it it'll come off fast.

Oh great, so I've gained more than someone who is carrying an extra person around with them. No Carina that did not make me feel better.

My extra person is only about a pound! And seriously when I saw you on Sunday you didn't look heavier at all.

I've put on about 5 pounds since Christmas but it's all muscle.

Ann is a lucky woman.
