Cold has been recovered from.  Weighed 209 this morning.  Made it to the gym last Thursday.  Ran 1 3/4 miles averaging 7.4 mph.

Today I felt great when I went to the gym, so... I pushed it.  I decided to try 2 1/2 miles at a slower pace.  I did the 2 1/2 averaging 6.8 mph.  But 4/100 of a mile from the end I pulled my right calf.  Not great.  Now I'm going to be completely unable to run for at least a week.  It will probably be 2-3 weeks before I can run at my normal pace.

But my shakes seem to be working.  I feel great - they definitely don't leave me hungry, which is, after all, the point.  One a day (most days - not all) to replace a meal.  Good deal.
