Nice start to the new month.  Legs still feel a little icky from the half and I'm still feeling a little bit of soreness from the walk race last week.  Average pace today was around 8:40 which is an improvment but I would still like to get my easy run paces down to around 8:20-8:30.

Had the weigh-in yesterday for the weight loss challenge at work and I weighed in at 205.8.  I plan to be at 170 by St. George marathon so I really have my work cut out for me in the next 5 months...in addition to all the running.

GOOD LUCK with the weight loss challenge! You're off to a good start with all these miles you're putting in lately! GOOD JOB, Jeff! :)

Hey Jeff, good to see you back on here. My plan is to get down to 170-175 by St. George. I'm at 193. We can do it!!!

Keep it up Dale...we can do it! My initial weigh in was artificially inflated by super hydration prior to weigh in. I hopped on the scale this morning and was 195. 11 pounds in two days? I don't think so :) So I guess what I'm saying is we're starting out pretty much even...let's get there!

Awesome! I weighed in at 193.6 this morning, So yeah, we are pretty close.
