off season. Off the couch, that is.

I've been resting. Well, not really. I've been trying to run faster, following the FIRST method with a liberal dose of common sense.  And nursing my left hamstring, which has taken to raising objections to running faster. And preparing for the races later this month. And swimming at least once a week. And rowing at least once a week. Cycling. yep, at least once a week. Running x3. Lifting x2. And focusing on eliminating drag - that is, getting lean. Since August, I've dropped 10 lbs. Running feels easier already.  Though, without the carbs, I feel a little flat. Still. I will be at my goal weight by the Paris Marathon. I will.
