Easy 4 today. Took it fairly easy today in preparation for the big Friday and Saturday runs. Added a few strides during miles 3 and 4 just to let the legs get the feel of race pace. Temps were actually quite nice today with 79 at the start it actually felt a bit cooler today which is always nice. Been working on controlling my diet over the last couple of months and it seems to be paying off as I have slowly been dropping the pounds. My goal is to get down to about 165-170 (5'11" average build) and lose the fat (spare tire) around my waist. I am at about 178 now so I think by SGM I should be pretty close to my goal as the training miles increase and the diet stays healthy.
