Sorry for the delay in posting this. But it was nothing but football all this weekend. So when I got home last night, after being at a morning game in Bridgewater and then a night game in Duxbury with a 2 hour break in between, all I could do was crash when I got home. I got up early yesterday and made sure I got my run in before leaving the house for the day. After getting the 0 last week. I really buckled down and refocused on the week. Especially since week 6 was a hard week. The week went well. I have a ton of pics to post and edit for football. I was very happy to see after my run and I weighed myself that I was 259. The week ahead gets a little harder now because it concentrates on sustained running. Only 2 weeks left of the 8 week program and then I concentrate on training for the Turkey Trot which has been posted at www.marathonsports.com to register. I am pretty confident that I will be able to do this now.

Here is the week ahead.
