Today I did some hill work.  I slowed down to practically a walk on some of the biggest hills but I kept going.  Incline training is hard.  I’ve heard that for every one percent of increase in incline you expend 4 percent more energy.  Energy = Calories so the more expended, the better.

I seem to have settled into a 1200 calorie-a-day groove, and I’ve been expending around 2600 most days.  I’m not sure why the weight isn’t coming off.  I’m not going to give up.  I feel that this is the exact moment when most people would give up.  It’s not easy.  It’s not complicated, but it’s not easy.   And I certainly am feeling moments of frustration because I want this to happen faster.  But it is happening.  I guess at this point I just have to run more.  The name of the blog is Running It Off, so I think I need to run more to get this weight off.
