ok, for days in a row w/o any real frequent urination. Got disgusted with weight Fri morning and overate for a day and a half. There was an employee appreciation lunch at work Fri and I had two helpings of barbecue, ambrosia, and some lemon pie. Then we had friends over to light the Shabbat candles, say the blessings then on to favorite Italian pizza plus joint. I overate chips, 7 layer bean dip, and 2 glasses of wine. E and I split a piece of pizza and chicken parm, but then the owner sent two pieces of cake to our table. I had a couple of bites of each... Talk about bulking up!About 500 cal over maintenance. I was up quite a bit Sat morning as a result. But it will pass. I'm hoping to have a stable scale, or near stable scale to measure from now and get back on weight loss track.

Had a good run this morning with the new kicks. I laid off for a week to let the nerve heal and it seems to have worked. It talked to me at the beginning. Kind of saying "oh here he goes again - your not going to do this to me are ya?... oh dang yes he is!... might as well enjoy it!" I knew it was there but no real pain. right knee kicked up in the last 1/2 mi tho. That's the one I wear a brace for. Will take an nsaid, 2 naproxen sodium, and see how that works. That one will probably have to be replaced one of these days. Orthopedic surgeon told me not to run about 3 years ago - but then I was also 35 lbs heavier! I did a half-tempo run, maintained hr between 116-120 most of the way. Ran at least 3.1 mi w/o stopping. Did 3.6 total in 44:11, a 12:11 pace. I did some recovery jogs after some hills on the route. This is a good training route because there are both steeper and gradual inclines along the way. The gas well that was going up the last time I ran it has been completed and is operating. Hard to see from the road now.

I'm going to lay off the running until Wed then do a tempo run in preparation for the charity fun/run 5k this Sat. Will have to scramble to finish, shower, head to congregation to run the song presentations. The guy who does it for us will be out of town next week.

We're meeting friends for breakfast at a neat rest Rise n Shine - great eggs and grits!

Edit: Picked up Sam from the airport. She caught an earlier flight so we picked up some take out breakfast for her, ate and left for the airport. She is on the road to Austin already so the house is back to on chihuahua and us! One dog in the bed tonight!
