Friday! Let’s all do the Friday dance, shall we? I went out for a pre-breakfast ride this morning with temps in the low 60s. It was nice, but humid! Came back for breakfast and had a major fail. I went to make peanut flour waffles and started assembling. However, our cottage cheese was bad [...] Fresh new month, albeit a hot and humid start to the month. Time for some goals! First, let me show you a graph of my bike mileage. I use Daily Mile to track my workouts. Here is how I accumulated 505 miles during July: Of course, the graph cuts off the first couple of [...] Hooray for Friday! No gym this morning, so I got to work nice and early. Operation Sleep is not quite in action. I started taking 5HTP and I am sleeping through the night mostly, but still waking up too early. I need to buy a sleep mask. No night sweats the last few nights, but [...] A big thank you to all past and present military people who have done so much for our great country. This is a weekend that is always full of barbecues, picnics and parades. Last night after my wonderful ride, we had s’mores! It’s been a couple years since I have had s’mores. [...] It’s Mardi Gras! Normally we do our dinner on the day, but had it on Sunday to make it easier, but with all that snow, probably tonight would have been better LOL! I was whupped after yesterday and I slept for 8 hours. I conked out at 10 pm last night (which is pretty early [...] It’s still February, right? Had a few inches of snow overnight, so my drive to the gym was a squidge slick, but not bad. Enough to keep some people out of the gym, though. It was quiet today. I did 3 miles on the treadmill and called it a day. Fast forward to home and [...] I can’t believe my weekend is almost over already. I guess that is because I worked a little yesterday. I slept pretty well last night, which was quite a relief, but woke up around 4 am with excruciating pain in my knee. I think I like the numbness better. It was past pain pill time, [...] Rainy, icky day here. I actually slept until a little after 7am! Yay! My gym opens at 8 on Saturday, so I went there this morning to do a little lifting. I was just doing that, so I didn’t snack ahead of time. 10 minute warmup on the stationary bike Barbell squat/push press: 3 x [...] Got up this morning expecting rain, but it had passed through during the night – yay! I didn’t really want to race in the rain (that is not so fun). Fueled up with my standard prerace meal – a 1 minute muffin (although 1 time I did oatbran): Ingredients: 1/4 cup ground flax meal 1 [...] Normally I do interval training with my runs, where I increase the pace for x distance and come back. Not too heavy, as I am just working to increase my speed. Well – I decided to do HIIT today with the jog. Went out with John to the track. He walked, I ran. So [...] |
