SUMMARY FOR WEEK OF MARCH 4 - 10, 2007

Mileage for the week was 63 miles, which is the most weekly miles this year! I continued to run seven days a week.

Lost one pound of weight, I'm now 170 pounds on a six foot frame. This week bought Chris Carmichael's book, "Food for Fitness," with the hopes of cleaning up my diet and adding some new recipes.

I've been ill during the middle of the week, a flu and/or allergies, but I'm now recovered. I still need to work on getting more sleep. My morning heart rate has been ranging 41-52 bpm.

Next week is somewhat of a cut-back/taper week as next Saturday I'll be racing the "Come Catch a Leprechaun 5k Race."
