Yay, me! I finally lost significant weight. Specifically, I lost 1.5 lbs this past week. Finally. I guess my body really does prefer to eat several small meals throughout the day, rather than three-squares-and-a-snack. I do feel better and more energetic, less lethargic, when I adopt that regimen. Much easier on my digestion, that's for sure.

The run this morning was the slowest I've done in a while, but it was still a good pace. B. joined me for this one, which is always fun, and we had a good time. Started out rather slow, and oddly my knee was a little sore at times. I wonder if running too slow can be more detrimental to my form than a faster pace. But it was good, as we were able to keep up a running conversation. Always key when you're doing a long run. I hope that next week, though, we can at least break 13:00. I think that not getting enough sleep last night was the reason behind our slow, sluggish start. We picked it up halfway through, though.

Oh, and I didn't have anything to eat beforehand. Ran out of Pop-Tarts and bananas, dammit!
