Man...after arm and lat work, this felt like the final 1000 in a race. Focused on form despite tired arms. Cant believe I held sub 1:30/100 pace. This time last year, my 500 time fresh was around 7:50-8

Yes, I am eating pretty light during the day. Bigger meal at dinner is pretty much my only meal this week. Its NOT easy. I am hungry all day long. Discipline...Discipline.
I will have my "eating binges" at home in Ann Arbor after thanksgiving, but this will only be a fraction of my total meals. Very tough to keep weight down when doing hardly any aerobic work.
