Setbacks and Accomplishment

Here I am… again. I went to Alabama for a week a month ago. The day before my trip I went to the doctor and was weighted at 230. In September I was 217, so 230 is horrible, considering I ran a 5k in December. While I had not been going to the gym as much as I wanted or eaten as well, I did not think this warranted 13 lbs. I have worked out 3x a week for the last 4 weeks and finally stepped on the scale again. It read, 230.

At this point, a voice in my head is screaming: WFT, what is the point? However, I am training for the 12k, Bay to Breakers, so I definitely cannot give up. I am hoping that this next month will be kinder, and that I can curb my urges.

On the brighter side, last week I ran a mile straight (at 13 minutes). I was really excited about this. Yesterday, I ran for 20 minutes straight (1.5 miles), which is an accomplishment that I have not done probably since middle school.
My goal of the week is to make it to the gym 4 times and run 2 miles straight.
