Training Progress

My training week goes from Saturday through Friday. I have a graph here that shows my planned training mile per week up until the marathon and in pink my actually training miles. As you can see, I did not do as well as I planned. The good thing is that I ran 23.85 miles this training week. The bad thing is that I was suppose to run 34. I am also a little frustrated with my weight. I lost 17 lbs from the beginning of the year, but I have recently put on another 6 as I have increased training. I am fairly confident that this is muscle weight. That is good, but I liked it better when the number on the scale was going down. With the extra muscle, I am hopeful that my metabolism will pick up, and before too long the number on the scale will be going down again.
