Usually I run after I put Emily on the bus which is right around 8am.  I got earlier today and went before she woke up.  It's getting warmer out, so the earlier, the better.  3 weeks in to my diet and I've lost 15 pounds.  We're doing the ketogenic diet.  I wasn't really sure what that was until I looked it up this morning.  I've just been eating whatever my wife gives me.  Apparently it is a low carb diet designed to put your body into a ketonic state so that it burns your body's fat instead of the glucose from carbohydrates.  I guess.  I have noticed that I've lost weight in one place in particular.  My tushy.  As I started running today it felt as though my shorts were going to fall off.  Probably because I no longer have a rump to hold them up.

Hey, I'm on the first page of the mileage board this week. I've also got the lowest mileage of anyone who's blogged this week. But that's neither here nor there.

I just got done reading about all the dangers of a keto diet. Awesome.

Good job! Cathy does that keto diet too

Really? I guess the next time I see her, I'll have to challenge her to a karate match.

Along with low HR training, a low carb/ high healthy fat diet really helps with endurance training. Go to philmaffetone.com there is some pretty cool stuff there about it.
