LSD 3.63m

Went for LSD yest, was supposed to be 4-5miles, but I did only 3.63, it started raining so I cut it short. BUT, i finished this distance in 51 min, this route which involves a long downhill and one of the big bad hills, this route which i previously used to finsh in 55-60 min. So that felt good, or maybe it was the rain making me go faster. Tho, I loved running in the rain, it wasnt pelting, just a light drizzle with warm temps of 60*, made for a nice sweet run.
And I did run for 5-10 min at a time.

On the weight loss front, tomorrow is weigh-in for me, tho I am not anticipating any loss, one pound??? how do u know its not water weight or if I have a salty chinese dinner, there goes any one measly pound that I lose.

I have to go for a walk today to complete the 5 scheduled workouts of the week. Have started doing yoga in the mornings again, or else feel stiff as a board. Walk down the stairs as if on cement legs and then as I do each pose, manage to loosen upa bit. Havent started with free weights yet, maybe next week.
