Weeks are passing by too quickly now. Is it sad that I find it easier to write about what happened Where's George-wise during the week than my actual week? Sometimes it feels like my life boils down to sleeping, working, and relaxing (a.k.a. not doing anything). I think I need to live a bit more.
Weight Management
Increased activity last weekend and into the week has played havoc with my weight loss goals. I had the same minimum as last year, a much higher max, and an almost equal average, so I'll call this week "even" to the last:
| Min | Max | Avg | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/06/2012 - 02/12/2012 | 170.6 | 172.6 | 171.6 |
| 02/13/2012 - 02/19/2012 | 170.6 | 173.8 | 171.7 |
Keeping in mind that I went on a bike ride last Sunday and the additional run during the week, I think this week was actually quite successful. Hard to truly compare this week to last with the exercise increase. Looking forward to seeing how next week compares to this one although the exercise profile will again be different.
Running
I followed through and added the "quick" run this week although I went on Wednesday rather than Tuesday (was still pretty sore on Tuesday). I ran for 20 minutes and got in 2.25 miles which was on the high side of my expected range. For my Saturday run, I picked a different route and started slow to see if that'd help later in the run. My first 10K of the run wasn't impressive: 68:46 (three seconds slower than last week and the slowest for the year). I finished the 80 minute run averaging 11:01 min/mile which was faster than last week's but not that fast compared to most runs this year. However, knowing that I've exercised more than usual this week, I think that time is respectable.
I received a notification from Elemential Running (the group that took over and ran the Super Bowl 10K) that they'd be coorinating and holding the entire schedule of runs that the Mathis's would have held this year. Based on that, my next run will be the Folsom Shamrock 10K on St. Patrick's Day (which was my original plan at the beginning of the year). I should offically sign up this week.
UFC Fantasy League
Another good week for me in the league as I came out on top picks-wise for UFC on Fuel TV 1. This weekend's event (UFC 144) will be worth a lot of points. Part of me hopes that after it the league gets a lot closer, but the competitive part hopes that I compeltely blow everyone out of the water.
Miscellaneous
Completed my taxes today with the help of my father-in-law. Nice to have them done and out of the way.
