The weigh in

It's the night before my first race of the season and I just did the 'weigh in'. Not a surprise, but I'm about 15 lbs over my fighting weight. Needless to say that's going to be a factor tomorrow. However, it's also going to tell me that I need to take this opportunity to assess this aspect of my condition and in turn check my diet. So, on Monday I'll roll out the Canada Food Guide and do an assessment. My goal would be to take off 10lbs in three months and then prepare for a fall marathon. The rational behind this order of things is that it is best to trim the weight from a diet adjustment first rather than through the extra running in a marathon preparation.
