7 Miles: Wednesday, August 9

Got up at 5:10 am today and ran 7 miles. It was a good run. I can tell that I am slowly getting stronger. It is also nice that I am losing weight. I've lost 19 lbs since the beginning of this year. I am hoping that this week is the week that I get to the 20 lbs mark. Hopefully with the longer runs I will be able to do that and drop some more weight. That is key for me. The more weight that I lose the better off I will be for the marathon. Carrying 5 less pounds makes a huge difference. No more donuts for me.
