Maureen,

Holy cow. You are my newest hero!!! THat's just plain awesome. It is so frustrating though isn't it? Here you are running your butt off (or so one would think) and the scale either goes up or stays put. I'm trying to lift my this time around too just to see what happens. There was a post on this board (I was told) about long distance runners not losing but those who train for speed do. Have you heard much about that? I didn't do any speedwork last summer. I mostly just wanted to make it through. This year I want to improve my time though so I'm adding a day a week of sprinting. Maybe that'll get the scale moving too. Please let me know how you are doing!

Sid
