Day 8 Master Cleanse

Day 8 Tuesday, 2/6/07:
Weight in the evening: 147
Last night at the gym went really well I was able to run 5K at a pretty quick pace and then do all my lifting with no problems. I "think" my knees felt better doing lunges and leg extensions but I don't have any definitive proof that they have improved so just take it as a feeling I have, nothing more.

Here's the GPS data from last night's run
Total Time (h:m:s)0:22:517:17 pace
Moving Time (h:m:s)0:22:517:17 pace
Distance (mi )3.14
Moving Speed (mph)8.2 avg.11.6 max.
Elevation Gain (ft)+62 / -61

Today’s run was my third fastest (by average pace) run over 4 miles. Only the Turkey trot and Apple hill races were faster. And it was my 7th fastest overall out of about 150 runs I’ve used a GPS device on. Someone could definitely argue that I would have been in shape to run as fast or faster if I had been eating and kept training since last week, but I feel good and I’m happy that I have lost very little on the fast. The true test of whether the cleanse was a good idea will be in 1 ½ weeks in Austin, TX at the marathon.

Feels like my cold is completely gone. No more coughing, sore throat and runny nose.
