Team CBC 46 My Way Tavern

A really great ride - the weather was cool but beautiful - I had no trouble finding the new Tavern and was very pleased to find out they were allowing us to use their bathrooms - always a plus before 3 plus hours on the ride - Turtle preformed perfectly - I finally had gotten the seat adjusted to a comfortable recline - I had none of the pain I have been having which I believe the seat was causing by cutting off the circulation in my right leg - I was riding real well and pretty fast - I was riding with the slower 46 mile group - as we left town the group seemed to split apart - I jumped off the back and went to catch the front group to let them know we had gotten split and had dropped a group - it took me a bit to catch them they were doing about 21 mph - when I did catch them I found out they were not riding with our Team CBC group so I dropped back to the others and apologized to jumping off the front and explained why I had done it - I felt a little stupid - at the first rest stop right when we were ready to leave Meri and Laura rode up - I told my group I was going to drop off and ride with them - I was doing fine and feeling good but wanted to ride slower due to the City of Oaks also I had been wanted to do a ride with Meri - it was a very pleasant ride both the faster and slower part - my scale today says I either weight 302.0 or 315.7 pounds - I am real tired of this scale - I am going to be optimistic and take the 302 because I have been eating correctly and exercising and 315.7 would be gaining weight - so to date I have lose 108 pounds - blood sugar was 91 this morning - both good numbers - if I can lose 3 pounds before City of Oaks Sunday I will be running weighting less than 300 pounds - I at my meat and cheese breakfast at 8:30 this morning and the road for over three hours not eating anything and I felt great no problems and did not get hungry -

Galloway Training Run 23 - 6.22 miles

WoW! This was a good run - it was real cold this morning - not sure why we do not start a little later but it was OK - I felt very good was running well and got a pretty good pace - my best 10K distance run yet - no pain or other problems - we had a nice group but I missed my friend Bert today who was running at home instead - Priscilla and Eric have both agreed to advise me if I do decide to run the Tobacco Road Full Marathon instead of the Half - I want to get the two Halves behind me before I decide to commit to a Full Marathon - that distance still seems too far to me - I do believe I could do the distance but I am not sure about doing it is seven or less hours - weight was 306.2 pounds today - blood sugar was 85 - I am beginning to really look forward to the half - it will occur 24 weeks after I started running - all of my gear seems t obe working well I bought a pair of arm warmer today at Bull City Runners taking advantage of the nice discount - we had a nice gathering after the run - the place did not have a Paleo/Primal thing to eat so I did not eat and just waited - I had some cheese sticks with me but did not need them - I ran 6 miles with a starting BS of 85 - I ate breakfast then ran and then did not eat until 1PM and NO blood sugar problem - I love Paleo/Primal -

Thursday Lunch Run

Good run - no idea what was different - felt good - felt fast and the run was sweet - I may have been sick with something - there have been several folks at the office who have been out sick for a day or two - I never felt sick just really exhausted - no pain - I felt good and like I could and was pushing the pace - no more running now until Saturday with Galloway - planning a 6 miles run to be in line with the Taper progression - planning to ride with CBC this Sunday - I have not made a CBC ride for a number of weeks but I have been focusing on running - with a 6 mile run I should have no problem being ready to ride - I will plan on doing the 42 route since I have not ridden for a while - should be fun -

Thursday Morning Run - Taper 12 of 20 days

OK - well I just not sure what to do - I seem to be getting slower and slower even for me - I am running comfortable no pain no problems - just cannot seem to do the pace I have been doing for some time now - I am having trouble believing that tapering is a good idea - I am still going to do it but I am just not sure it is helping me - I ran 13.1 miles three weeks ago after a regular week of training and got my best time ever and I felt great - today I can not even get out of my own way - I will bow to the experience of my friends but I am troubled with how things are going and it is having a real effect on how I feel about even being able to do the half - weight was 318 pounds this morning - blood sugar was 105 this morning - beyond all this I did enjoy running this morning and am happy I can run - it was very muggy but not too hot - if this happens every time I have to taper I may quit doing races not running but just not do races because I like the running but I do miss not being able to do my regular runs - maybe I am just crazy -
