Out the door at 4:40 for a 6-mile run since I had to go into the city today (and may have to again tomorrow). I seem to have a calorie gap with my higher mileage as I've lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks.

5k 23:48.45 (3/22); 4M 31:26 (2/22); 5M 38:55 (11/23); 10k 49:24 (10/22); 
10M 1:29:33 (2/24); Half 1:48:32 (10/22); Marathon 4:29:58 (11/23)

Upcoming races: Running is Back 10k, 5/12; Greta's Run 5k, 5/19

You're living the dream! I've never lost weight from running more.

5 miles through the storm aftermath. A little sprinkle but the wind is gone. My run was basically a trail run with all the tree bits covering everything. WFH because school is cancelled.

I gain weight when I run more. Then again I gain when I run less too. I just like to eat. Clearly too much

Even with pretty high mileage, I've been able to compensate with calorie intake. I do find I drop ~2-4 pounds when I get to 70+. Which I hit for the first time in the cycle last week, and in fact I am down a couple. I was so hungry all day yesterday, I was just grazing all day long.

So the AQI was in the 180-200 range when I went to bed. I thought I'd have to skip today's run, or maybe try to get a day pass at Planet Fitness or something. I figured I'd see what the morning would bring, because they can never forecast this accurately. Woke up (unintentionally) at 4:00; it had dropped but only to 130-140, so still not good. But then by 5:00 it was just over 100, so figured that was close enough to get up and go. It was in the 90s by the time I went out, and by the time I got back from my 7 miles (w/12 strides) it was in the 60s. Now it's 32. Crazy how fast that can move. But what a relief that this was a quick one. You never know.
