a month ago, i ran my fastest 6 miler ever in 1:17. i weighed in at 165 after losing 6 pounds in 18 days. tonight i ran a 7 miler in 1:33:39. and was shocked to see the scale read 163.5.
huh?
i'm not getting faster, which is no surprise since i am running at most twice a week. but how the hell did i manage to lose weight this month? have you SEEN what i've been doing the last month? what i've EATEN this month? it's a shock to me that i was able to run 7 miles at all!
i guess there really is something to this whole cross training thing. because even though i've skipped too many runs, i've replaced them with hikes and long walks. and i have managed to get in at least one medium to long run every week. but still. by no means does it feel like i'm training, yet i somehow manage to eke by AND lose weight?
this type b approach really works, man.

Dude I hate you....I need to lose some weight pronto and have been running like crazy and eating healthy (though kind of a lot with all the running) and nothin'.
Keep it up, girl!!!
X-training is a great thing- I recently figured that out too. I haven't lost any weight, but my body feels totally different. It sounds like you've been able to enjoy life lately and that's the most important thing.
