Another week in the books, and for the most part, it was a good one for weight management and running. My final weigh-in of the week (today's) was unexpected and disappointing, but I can't complain too much about how the week went.
Starting off with Weight Management, I burned a whopping 4394 calories (my highest weekly total so far this year). I ate back 1565 of those to end the week 2829 calories below target (which I found impressive because I went to my quarterly poker night which is usually quite the night of excess). Add that calorie deficit to my targeted ½ pound loss, and I mathematically should have lost 1.3 pounds. Here are my actual results:
| Avg | Min | Max | Last | Avg H20 | Avg Fat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02/25-03/04 | 174.8 | 174.2 | 175.8 | 175.6 | 98.8 | 39.4 |
| 03/04-03/11 | 174.1 | 173.0 | 176.4 | 176.4 | 98.6 | 38.9 |
| -0.7 | -1.2 | +0.6 | +0.8 | -0.2 | -0.5 |
After spending the entire week weighing in between 173.0 and 174.5, I was disappointed to see the scale show 176.4 this morning. With the week I had, I don't understand why it jumped up so much. I'm hopeful it will fall back down tomorrow.
As I mentioned last week, I signed up for a challenge on Lose It regarding minutes spent walking, jogging, and running: the goal is to complete 2000 minutes. With my normal minutes, I'll finished the month at 1710: 290 short of the goal. I finished the past week with 708 minutes. Based on my usual activity, I would have completed 570, so I've put in an extra 138 (just a bit shy of half of what I need to make up). With the half marathon on Sunday, I expect this week to be pretty normal. How soon I'm able to return to running (and perhaps walking) will determine if I'll be in range to complete this challenge or not. Completing the half marathon is job one, and anything that detracts from my goal of finishing in under two hours shall be avoided, so I'm not too concerned if I fail at this one if I hit my half marathon goals.
Moving onto running, I've start tapering off and "only" went for a 8.7 mile run on Saturday (my plan was 8 miles or 80 minutes - whichever was longer). I was just a couple seconds off of the pace needed for the half marathon, so I think I'm in really good shape for my two hour goal. The threat of rain midweek resulted in me moving my second run to Tuesday. Here's my mileage for the week:
| M | T | W | R | F | S | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.40 | 5.33 | 8.70 | ||||
| Total Mileage: 19.43 | ||||||
The back-to-back five milers wasn't as rough as I expected them to be. Looking at my mileage compared to my weekly goal of 16 miles:

And here's a look at my progress towards my goal of 800 miles ran this year:

I've completed 189.72 miles so far this year and am on track to complete 1004 miles in 2013. I plan to do two 5 mile runs during the week (preferably Monday and Wednesday) and then the half marathon this weekend.
