Day 28: down 8.4 lbs.

As I've mentioned, I started weight training on Wednesday. I know eventually it will help with my weight and with my running, but boy, the muscle soreness is not very pleasant. My last two runs were a little painful. I hit the pavement hard with each step. My shoulders and arms are bad, but the worst is my chest. It feels like I'm wearing a brick brassiere. I'm going to try for three weight training sessions each two weeks (Wednesday, Monday, Friday) until the muscle soreness goes away, then switch to once a week, like the patron saint of SLDers, Stephen M.
