Work is getting hectic

So the day has been a complete loss as far as actually getting work done.  Between meetings and training I am fried.  I'm getting tons dumped on me and I had to take a break to write for the day.  Yesterday was a tough workout because I am coming off the cold but I was able to run 35 mins straight which according to the stride sensor was 3.7 miles.  It wasn't my favorite run ever but I felt good afterwards and was glad I did it.  I plan to do the same run today.  I'm really hoping my stride sensor isn't off by much when I go run that 5k because  I have kind of settle on what I think my pace is and would really like to beat 30 mins which I can do right now every time but if the sensor is off by like 10% or something then I may not make it.  We'll see...

Scale ticked down today and I'm vowing to eat good this weekend so I can get under the 300+ mark and into the 2's never to go back.  To be honest I've told some of my friends what I weighed when I started and was ashamed.  They didn't believe me at first because of how I carry my weight and thought I was like 265 but I am still much bigger than that even after losing 20+ lbs.  I'm trying not to let my weight get too much in the way of my running motivation because I know if I keep running (without eating like a fool), it will come off and I'll be a better runner/more fit person in the end.  But right now its the only thing I have that I can watch.  After this 5k, I'm going to begin training for a 10k and by increasing my times and maybe speed I'll have something else to watch.  However, being a better runner is hard to translate into being more fit and healthier if I'm still fat, I know I will be but not very believable.  The way I am currently people would never guess that I have been running for 2 months and I want to get to the point where if I tell someone I'm a runner they don't look at me with such a puzzled look.
