Week 2, Day 3: Run 2, walk 2, ten times

I did this run alone at Wilshire Park. It was the first run that felt challenging to me, maybe because it was so hot. It was a very quiet day - Labor Day weekend. Very few cars or people about. The squirrels were busy with their fall preparations, despite the 90-degree weather.

Weight remains at X-5, which is very frustrating - basically I've gained three pounds since beginning this effort. I have to remember that I always gain weight when I start an exercise regime. Not sure why, though of course muscle weighs more than fat. I've been good about my diet plan (no sweet treats, except for one on Saturday). Last year I didn't lose any weight during the entire three months that I was running, which was frustrating, although I knew I was getting in better shape.

I may decide to do the Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving if we don't have any other T-day plans.
