Noon Boot Camp. I intended to run this morning but it didn't work out, so I did cross training at BC and it was a butt kicker as always. We did run around the block a few times, which is probably 5-600 yards or so. My legs were a bit tight from Saturday's faster effort.

6 miles this morning from the Y. I forgot to bring running gloves, so I grabbed some yellow work gloves from the truck and they worked great. Padding on the knuckles protected from the chill. Forgot to us the restroom before leaving, so hit the Great Harvest bread store for a pitstop. Towards the end I saw a former co-worker so stopped and chatted with her for 1/4 mile. All those things put my official pace as much less than it was, but it was likely around 8:50. 

Weight keeps dropping little by little. I'm curious as to where it will end up without any significant/purposeful diet changes. I am eating differently as I pay attention to what my body craves, and trying to stay away from the bad stuff, but I'm not being shy about eating full meals with good food.

8 from home mid morning. Felt pretty good. Walked first mile while talking on the phone with my buddy in Utah, so the average pace is messed up.
