Me 2011 wins the week.  I've finally hit 10 pounds lost!  This has been a horrible struggle.  It averages out to 1 pound per week, but still... ugh.

Hopefully with the longer runs, I'll continue to make progress.

B210K Week 1 Progress
This is the first week of Bridge to 10K.  I won't lie, the 4th 10 minute run segment on Monday I struggled hard with it!  After doing the 5K on Sunday and then turning around and doing almost the same thing on Monday was rough!

Tonight was hot for Day 2!  I feel like I sweat out 10 pounds, but I didn't.   I was able to manage all 4 10 minute run segments much better tonight.

For day 3, I will be doing that Saturday morning before the family reunion.  I'm going to be running on the Pan Handle Pathway, which I've done several times before in the past 5 years.  If I had a bike rack for the car, I'd take that and do a bike ride on it too!


Shoes!

This is a picture of my new Brooks Ghost 9's that I just got on 7/11!!  They look like how my shoes normally look at around 200 miles.

These just have 55 miles on them!  I've gotten in contact with Brooks Quality Team, and I should have an answer tomorrow on what they are going to do.

Counting Down!
Lunchtime Friday, I'll be heading up north for Family Reunion!  

38 days until my Vacation!  I'm really excited to be flying down.  I'm looking at new luggage, since my old Samsonite tank has about had it.
Samsonite Super Tank
TSA Broke the bottom clasp in my 2nd or 3rd trip with it.  The keys to lock it have now both broken.  So, even babying the clasp, I can no longer get it secure.  So, now it just hangs partially open.

The hardside has been nice to have, but this day & age of the airlines hitting you with fees for everything, the last straw I've about had with it was with Delta.  They have a checked bag fee to start with, THEN I got hit with an overweight bag fee!  So, it was an additional $50 on top of the $35 checked bag fee to fly home with it overweight!


I'm looking at the eBags TLS 25".  I've had an eBags carry-on for a long time and it's held up great!  So, I'm willing to give one of their large pieces a chance.  They must be phasing this model out, as they no longer have the Black one.  It's down to Red & Eggplant.  Other colors they had were a blue that would have perfectly matched my carry on and a lime green, which would have been great for my Disney running teams colors!  :)

I don't understand eBags sales though...  It was down to $151 yesterday and it's back up to $190 today.  Okay, I guess I'll have to watch it each day to see what price it is and try and snag it on a down day & hope they don't run out!  I'll not be buying an "eggplant" colored one...

This all means is 154 days until Marathon Weekend!  Just a little over 5 weeks until my 1/2 Marathon training begins.

Watch This!
