35 Min Run (Push) --160.5--

LOS FELIZ -- Went out with the intention of an average workout but was baited into greyhounding this guy in front of me. At first I was blazing him, but something about being on his heel inspired him forward with an impressive gait and pace. So I just hung back and wondered how far he was going. He bailed a few blocks before my turn, but by that point I was into the faster pace.

I'm curious if I'm a better runner than that guy. I was hanging in pretty easily, and he seemed pretty well mentally and physically more spent than me. But who knows. He got me moving faster and it would seem I got him moving faster, too. So high tide, ships...rising. You know.

So the last 2/3rds were pretty quick and it was a good time. But I definitely felt more pushed when it was all said and done compared with yesterday. Upon weighing in, I saw why. That's 1.5 pounds lost from my previous multi-year low weight. In 24 hours. Huh? An even 160 after the shower. This is impressive weight loss, but I should probably put the breaks on this at some point and start maintaining. Or I'm going to be 150 and sick in a few months at this rate.

Well, at your height, your ideal weight is 120 lbs. I'm two inches shorter so my ideal weight is 105.
