Pushing my limits but loving it!

Whoohoo week TWO! I'm psyched to keep my momentum from last week going. So much so I've even scoped out the fitness center at the resort I'm staying at next week. I'll be making sure to get my workouts in before everyone else gets up for the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to strong-arm my brother into joining me on some runs too.
Last week I managed to run 27 miles and completed 5 days of weights. I've not done weights so much since university but it feels good to be back at it! My knee gave me some odd grief while I was asleep this weekend but after a few kilometers of running those weird twinges of medial knee pain would go away. I'll chalk it up to improper foot placement during my runs, or maybe during some squat sessions? In any case, I'll aim for much better form this week and hopefully that makes a difference.
This week's running goals are pretty much the same as last week, with a couple of more miles added. Today I'm aiming to complete my back and bicep workout at lunch and then 4 - 6 miles after work. My protein intake has increased a lot and I think that's helping starve off any intense muscle soreness between workouts. This week my aim is to CUT the SNACKING. It's the one diet killer that's honestly holding me back. I have to stop cheating myself and cut it the damn out, haha.
