Urbanathlon dreaming

Random Musings: I've been a tad lax about posting lately and I apologize. Do not fear that it means I have fallen off the health wagon though. On the contrary, I've been doing pretty well. I'm following my running program for the Urbanathlon and even mixing in some strength training and pull-ups and stairs.

My foot continues to be a mystery. For the most part it seems to be improving, but just when I get too confident it gets sore and a little scary. I'm planning on just managing it and getting my butt to Chicago in October. Today feels pretty good.

Exercise update: It's been a good week. I ran 3 strong miles on Tuesday night and followed up with 37 minutes on an elliptical last night. Today is a shorter run with some strength training. I usually try to blend things by running to the park and doing a few monkey bars. It works well, but can un-nerve parents with kids when they see a solitary man getting in line for monkey bars:)

My long run scheduled for this weekend is 4 miles, which will be my longest run in weeks. Obviously I'll be a bit light on miles in October, but I'm just going there to finish. Even if it involves trailing my brother-in-law all day, I'm going to enjoy it:)

Nutrition update: My weight is stalled even as I exercise more. That should tell us what we need to know about the state of my nutritional behavior
