That's actually become the word that I meditate on during running: Fierce. I did a practice 10K over the weekend, because my next race after the tri is the Cosley Zoo 10K. I was pretty casual about my pace and was signing along to my Pandora station ... yes, I look like a nutcase when I run. Still, I finished the 10K faster than my 10K last summer. With any luck, I'll be able to smoke that time in June. The best was how I felt running: free and not giving a damn. I even remember thinking that I live for this shit. And it was true. That moment of exhilaration is why I run.

But let's talk about weight, briefly. I decided to stop weighing myself and obsessing about a month ago, but bad habits die hard. I haven't been eating well and the scale showed it, as I'm up to 129.2. Time to buckle down and get to racing weight between now and May 20. The Meatless May Challenge may have something to do with this. So far, vegetarian dishes have just been so tasty that it's hard to hold back. I don't even miss Taco Bell ... yet.
This week's mantra: In it to win it.

Luckily desserts are usually meatless (unless you're Ron Swanson)
