Sunday long run day

-

 I woke up at 4:40 and laid in bed for a while trying to get a little extra rest. I slept about 8 hours so that is good; I am sure I need a 10 hour night. Tomorrow is back to school and a day closer to finding out my fate for next year. Despite the possibility of losing my job, I feel calm because I know I have done a good job this year. Yes, I complained about a few things, but I came to work everyday with a plan. I keep playing the numbers in my mind...if this one leaves, and that one moves over there, then I will still have a job. I just have to wait and see. Dave needs Tucker this summer so that helps with keeping his pay consistent. When he is not coaching his salary goes down from $1900->$1500 that is a loss of $800 in a month. Plus, I am not sure if we are going to charge Cannon while we are home for the summer. AND he has Medic school so we want to help him out with that if we can and holding off on rent would help. 

Time to get moving. 

Plan for May-

Add reading a proverb a day. That takes me 30 days. Set up a routine during the month. I will have Monday run day at Swift River Cross Fit, read a Proverb/day and keep running. 

Breakfast 3 eggs, Ezekiel CC/strawberries,  1/2 piece bread with cc/jelly=    350calories /23g protein    post run yogurt, granola, honey, berries, toast, meat and avocado, collagen  =400 calories/ 35g protein       Lunch and snack chocolate, wrap, burrito meat, onion, tom, sour cream  =  800 calories/55g protein 

Total calories 1600 but I assume I missed some in there so maybe 1800 and 120g protein  yogurt before bed add another 300 getting me to about 2100 max. I burned 800 + maintenance=2900 so I was under

BCAA for mood as well as for protein go to chapter 14 for exercises and breathing to help with pelvic floor muscles and strengthening

 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...
