Goal: 115 by October 10

Workout: short run 25:30
Weight: 125.4

I really should change my goal. There really is no way that that is going to happen. I think I have 3 weeks to lose 10 pounds. Nope.

Ran outside this morning. I know I started out too fast and could not keep the pace with the inclines and hills. I stopped a lot. I tried to get a slower pace going toward the middle and the end, but my heart rate was already elevated so any running - even slow - brought it right back up to the point of unsustainable. Its alright - I got outside and I did it, which was one mental barrier that had re-formed.

I looked back through my blog yesterday. I didn't read every single entry, but a few scattered here and there. I have improved a lot in the last year. I have improved a lot since July. I need to keep the focus on small improvements instead of expecting to be a fantastic runner within the next week. Stop getting discouraged and be proud of myself for being consistent and pushing myself to improve.
