The Return Of Uncle Chubby

Okay, so I am not overweight. And I do not want to get obsessive about a few pounds. But what the heck? I'm running 20-25 miles a week, with 10 mile long-runs, and my weight is going the wrong way! I cannot figure it out. Ultimately, I would like drop five pounds by race day (April 3), to increase speed and lower the strain on my hips and knees. Will Girl Scout cookies ever go away? Will I be able to resist the large scoop of peanut butter? And can I actual "just say no" to the nightly work-week glass of wine (not unless work gets a lot less stressful . . . hello, large bequest needed!). These are my challenges. I will strive to drink more water to quell the hunger and get the double benefit of staying hydrated. I will eat more fruits and vegetables. I will get more sleep. And, I will reveal my results within. Wish me luck. Run long, and check your blood sugars. [You can see my running stats at www.buckeyeoutdoors.com and look for the username runrobrun]
