When a half marathon becomes practice

For me it happened a couple of months ago but for my friend Amanda it happened yesterday when we ran the course for the Santa Cruz Half Marathon at sunset yesterday. Good for her!. For me it will be my last double digit run before the MAIN EVENT in two weeks: The California International Marathon. It looks like I will be on my own for this race (no support - oh well) - somethings you just have to do on your own.

Well it is Sunday and it has been a looooong weekend. I reffed nine games for District Cup. Ran a half marathon with Amanda. Went wine tasting with Cameron to Picketti and Ridge. Ate Sushi at two of my three favorite Sushi joints (Sushi Totoro in Santa Cruz and Hon Sushi in Mountain View).

Weigh in: I weigh myself every day but Monday morning is the one that counts. I pick Monday because I usually am good during the week about eating good but bad on the weekend. Monday morning weigh ins help to keep me honest on Friday and Saturday night in particular. Last week I weighed in at 158. My goal is to keep my weight between 158-162 on an ongoing basis.

When I was 250lbs my goal was to lose 100lbs. Well I did but 150 was too light and I had no energy, was really irritirable and so I put back on 10lbs and now am fine.

Well that is all for now.
