Summary:
I am stretched out. I used to skip this workout and instead opted to rest on the "rest or stretch" day, but I've decided in Round 2, like Yoga, I'm going to do the stretch every chance I can get. I really was good to get all the kinks worked out that I had gathered up during the week. My back is still a little sore but overall I think it's holding up quite nicely to the week's activity. I really thought my calves were going to be killing me today based on how sore they were last night but this morning I woke up and they weren't as bad as I had anticipated.

My eating this weekend was very good considering my usual weekends. I had my one planned cheat meal for Saturday and for the most part avoided all other deviations. We went and got Subway for lunch on Saturday and while I usually eat a footlong per meal I decided to stretch it out over two days instead which was a good choice. I usually struggle to keep it between the lines for the weekends so it was a nice surprise to get through the weekend with only planned deviations.

Week one is in the books and so far I'm feeling pretty good. I'm ready to make it through the next week and see what progress I can make on next Friday. I'm hoping that my running goes as planned this week because I really need to start making progress on that front if I have any chance of doing my marathon training in June. It's taking alot of mental stamina to get through my runs now and I'm hoping that goes away or I can find a way to mitigate that. Otherwise running for 4-5 hours is going to be like pulling teeth.

Overall, week 1 going great.
