New Goals

Last week I ran 15 miles, a personal record for me. I'm getting less slow, just under 12 minutes/mile on average. This morning the scale read 146.1, also a personal record. So I am making a little wager with myself that I can get down to 140 by April. The trick will be to run 14-16 miles a week and keep eating the way I have been for the last week - lean and 1600 calories max/day. I will also be more rigorous with strength training, and I must work out at least 5 days/week. I will be at Vegas for a few days, and there is plenty of tasty food there. It is the one place I let myself eat pasta. Fortunately, I am taking a vegan, so I may be able to avoid Italian altogether. Still, if I do all of this and limit my splurges to the 3 days in Vegas, I should be good to go. So let's see if it works. If it does...i will do something nice for myself, perhaps buy a new pair of jeans?
