Rest day today, Starting week 4
Finished week three yesterday and I feel fairly good. The bike ride yesterday was wonderful with plenty of energy for the climbs up Jensen, part of Palisade and Palmer Hills for a total of 13 miles. My 5 runs for the week totaled 18 miles even with the drop back day for my long run, (every third week your long run drops a couple of miles to give your legs a rest). I am not losing weight but staying at the -20 pound loss. For now I am happy with that until I get motivated to lose again. I received my new shoe Friday and ran in them on Saturday for my five mile long run. So far they worked great. I got closeouts on Salomon XR Mission Door to Trail. $79 you can't beat that these days. They are a neutral cushion shoe with a little stability. They have an aggressive sole for trails and the advertising says they will work well on the road as well as the trails. They make a more stable shoe but they weren't on sale ($140 bucks). These are light shoes and I hope they hold up with me being 223 pounds. We will see. Just Run

Glad to see you're doing so well. It helps me to see that right now. Trying to overcome my negative attitude at the moment. Need to focus on other ways I can exercise other than running. My knee is getting stronger every week. It will just take a little time. Super motivated that I jogged a little today and put in some good miles without a set back with my knee. I will take it one day at a time and try to focus on the positive. Keep it up! Love ya.
