___________________________________

Grading myself for week 5 of 7:

Mileage (90%)- My mileage is fine and I am on pace for what I want this week.  The taper will begin next week, so my only regret is the consistency and the build up to 100+ could have been better, but fortunately no injuries seem to be manifesting.

Speed (75%)- Decent workout on Tuesday, good endurance on Wednesday, and a tempo on Saturday @ 16:30 5k pace will be a nice way to end this cycle.  

Nutrition (80%)- Recovery macros, water, and electrolytes were again good this week.  Very consistent, but next week will be tough being up with family.

Racing weight (75%)- I will move to mostly maintaining calories for two weeks, but I hope in the back of my mind to lose two pounds overall.  Goal weight loss is 2 pounds.  Total weight loss- 15 lbs, with 2 lbs to go, but ideally 5 lbs. left before February.  I can finally see abs again, which is a plus.

The next two weeks are taper weeks, so I am not expecting much change.  Hopefully 2 more pounds shed, I'd like to run 70-80 miles and then have a quick taper for the 1st week of January, and just the two or three speed days left: tempo Saturday and a speed day or two at a track next week if I can talk myself into it.
