So I tried a fast run today, a “tempo” run.

Um, yeah. Fast for me is still not so fast. But I ran four miles in 43 minutes, so that’s still faster than the last time I ran four miles.

And then afterward I hopped on the scale and I weigh more than I have since the first week of March. Oops. Another slice of birthday cake, anyone?

    you’re not gaining FAT! you’re gaining MUSCLE! and muscle weighs MORE than fat.

    Good job! It’s hard work, and my weight would fluctuate several times a week depending on my workout, water intake, etc. It’s muscle.

    Good for you! I love reading about your running program, I just wish I could get my ass out there as well. Must start running again, must start running again…

    You’re getting your body ‘programmed’ to run in that fashion on a regular basis. Soon, your body will be burning off the pounds at a consistent rate…even if you happen to *GASP* skip a day…

    You ran less then 11 miles a minute! That is a *huge* accomplishment! I’m still happy when I get to 12:30 ;)
