Great week overall...ended up missing a 7 miler on Thursday cause I headed to Lexington to see the Cats and South Carolina. Ended up sitting directly behind Magic Johnson and Steve Beshear, KY's Governor. Magic was great...autographed our tickets; then I went and bought a few basketballs for him to sign but he bailed at half-time, so my pastor and I ventured down the sideline and scored a Rothlesbeger autograph on a UK basketball so pretty cool. Back to the training. some blistering cold early runs this week; followed by a couple of nice weekend runs at a swift pace that "felt" sustainable...both runs felt much better mentally and physically than last weeks runs. The light snow run this week was really fun as the flakes hit my eyes and the other uncovered parts of my face...felt good in a cool way. Dropped another 1.5 pounds this week and still feeling good. Traveling to Cincy tomorrow. Glad to get signed up for the GHASP Century ride in Austin!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to comment last week. This is great stuff. Not sure how I feel about you cheering for UK, but the fact you saw Magic is pretty darn cool.
Kudos to you for keeping up your runs in those weather conditions. Anything below 45 is too cold for me anymore.
That long endurance training is a fat burning process. Every pound you lose (within reason, of course) just means you can run a little faster. Nice work!
