Day 7

 Day 7 

12 hour fast but I was seriously hungry and I had a 7 mile easy run waiting for me. Forecast was calling for rain so I wanted to get moving. It didn't matter, I hit the rain anyway. I had electrolytes, 


4 oz hamburger =300 calories and 18g protein

Hamburger and eggs before the run=300+80=380 calories and 30g protein 

Ezekial with mozzarella cheese and jelly with blueberries=80+85+20=185cal    7g protein

Collagen protein=9g protein and 100 calories 

Total calories = 660 calories and 64g protein

1/2 avocado and burger 5 rice crackers=300? 15g protein?

burger bowl with lettuce, ketchup, mayo, mustard and caprese salad. 450 calories 20g protein 

Yogurt with protein powder and strawberries=200 calories and 20g protein

2 squares chocolate=150

sushi 4 pieces=300

maybe 2000 calories total and 120g protein

I am so full right now but the window is closing, and I had to make sure that I would not wake up hungry. I can eat tomorrow after 8:30 (14 hours of fasting). After my run and shower, I ate then cleaned up a little before taking Campbell shopping and grabbing groceries. Got home and tried to do some planning. The lesson for tomorrow is silly. I just don't love this material. Oh well. It is what it is. 

Workout

7 minutes Dynamic warm-up, 3+ miles with the dogs to MOS, around the parking lot and trails, Pine to Stuart and home, I finished my electrolytes and water, changed socks and shoes, then headed out for my 2nd half. I worked hard to stay in zone 2. I need to set up my alerts so that any time I go over 135 it will beep. I felt pretty good. I walked the hills, and took it slow. I did my QL stretch both before and after, plus hamstring bridges and exercises afterward. That was a good start to my ultramarathon training. 

This week-

10k at school, and 3 days of kettlebell workout and plyo. Look up some exercises. 

KB swing,

 How do you win the war? With good questions. Lost Tools of Writing has laid out an easy format for asking questions in other words-thinking.  Definition: Define your terms. We can’t understand it if we don’t know what it is. While definitions used to involve at least some thinking (at least alphabetizing and spelling), today’s technology has put digital dictionaries in our pockets. Guess what? By asking the questions “what group does it belong to?” and “how is it different from others in that group?” you and your students will be doing some serious thinking. Comparison: How is X like Y? What differences spring out of this similarity? Are these differences of “a certain kind of thing” or differences of “more/less”, “better/worse”, or “bigger/smaller”? Circumstance: What in the world is going on here? What in the world is going on somewhere else? Relations: What was the cause of X? What was the effect of X? Did this effect in turn cause something else? Just because somethin...

Let me tell you about a bear, a skunk, and a hen. Day 68

 I am nearing the end of the challenge. One more weekend, 3 days of school, 1 more faculty day, and a lacrosse playoff game. I am a little undecided about whether I will drink on Friday night. I guess I have to see what happens.  Up at 4:47 still tired but I figured I needed to get up to get my walk before it got too hot and muggy  I had toast, 3 eggs, and coffee. Afterwards I took the dogs for a walk. It was already muggy and buggy. Gross. We headed out to the field then turned down icehouse so Ripper could poop in the woods. Well I turned the corner and saw a black thing in the road. I feel like it was a bear. It looked narrow but it was too slow and deliberate to be a dog. We turned and ran the other way. The black spot was still there. Finally when I took a break to walk the dogs pulled me to the right towards a clump of trees. Right there in front of me was a skunk with its tail up ready to shoot. We got away from that before it was too late. THEN a hen skirted acros...

One week later

For 60 hours, I let all the requirements of 75 Hard fade away. I had wine, margaritas, junk food and no workouts. It is time to get back to it. I have to make a decision about the 55k. Am I in?  I continued living large for the entire week post-75 hard. It has been wild. Friday was my final day. The kids were waiting for their big playoff game while I finished my checklist and cooked burrito casserole. The game was exciting with the bomb threat, change of venue, and the eventual big win. I had my margaritas and burrito casserole. We hosted Ricardo from Germany and Nomar from Brooklyn, who will be coming here next year. On Saturday morning, the boys had an easy practice, I did my long run, and we just hung out all day. I really don't remember what else we did... Sunday was Father's Day. We argued about what to do and finally said, let's go to Portland. It was a beautiful, cool day. We ate at the Port Hole (something like that). It was so delicious. I had fish tacos, Tucker h...
