Dead Day 54 Friday

-

 I am exhausted. I have not been sleeping well...I mean I am sleeping through the night and getting about 7-8 hours of consecutive sleep, but I need more. This morning was just an easy 45 minute run which I did in 40' pouring rain. I don't love the warm weather, but this rain is depressing. Today was the last day before a long weekend. I am looking forward to it. Not sure what I will do other than run and workout and relax. I have to figure out the frog dissection. Perhaps doing it with my A block will be like a trial run. We do have an hour and 30. 

breakfast 2 eggs, toast with cc                                                 300 calories 17g protein

snack bar                                                                                   140 calories 7g protein 

lunch hamburger with bun and another burger                         600 calories and 55g protein 

dinner can tuna, mayo, lemon-mustard, 0wrap, toast cc          450 and 35 protein

chicken, protein yogurt                                                         300calories  30g protein

1850 calories and 142 g protein

Plan for the next 20 days...

Try to get 3 walks a week with the weighted vest. Even if it is just one mile of the walk in the morning. I want to see if it helps strengthen my legs. 1 hour 40 in the morning including my 100 KB swings before or after my run. Sunday morning I would like to lift heavy then lift again on Monday to get my 2 lift days done.

 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...
