I notice no changes in flab to fab in my core, though...even going to the gym 2-3 times a week doing core work. Too much body fat I guess...but it IS getting better, believe it or not, during taper week (cuz I'm being a good girl with the diet).<br /><br />My gym is always busy when I go so I'm always the loser hopping next to Speedy Gonzolas who probably thinks I'm stalking him. Cuz I probably am. :)<br /><br />Nice running there, girly! You are so going to run like a sub 3 hour in Boston and you'll no only be in wave 1 next year, you're going to be in the elite wave - woohoo!!<br /><br />Hugs!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
