Could this be my breakthough week?

WW today and FINALLY - I am down all the weight I gained on vacation plus an additional .2. I'll take it. And I will continue to do what I do. I chatted with my spin instructor after class today. She just made her lifetime membership at WW losing 31 lbs. She looks awesome... all while I have been spinning my wheels. I told her my plans to lose lose lose until November and then train again for Boston. She's really encouraging and I know that by my putting the word out, I'll be more motivated to work a little harder. AND THEN when I am lighter, I WILL be faster. (Right Nancy?) I will run a sub 6 marathon come April 07. Oh, how I LOVE LOVE a motivational moment. Oh how I hate how the scale dictates this mood. But then, I've been working hard this week... I deserve a little "good for me" moment..

You WILL be faster as long as you run at the same effort level!! The average improvement is about 2 seconds per mile per pound for running, or so I hear. So 20 sec/mile for 10 pounds - or a minute per 5K - adds up!
