Weekend 5 Day 34&35

-

 I finally went to the bathroom this morning. Keep incorporating fiber and metamucil until I get back to regular BM. I will have to wait to do my run until things settle. 

Sleep-about 8 hours. The guys came home from their lacrosse game excited about the win and wanting to share their success. It was a battle, but they came out on top. It got me thinking about watching Tucker play and that we may only have another year of games. It is with mixed emotions that I watch him play. Part of me is waiting for him to explode or afraid he will explode. Had I not been on the sidelines for that game when he was hyperventilating, I might not feel this way. But I did and I do. Today is a progression run with the last 10 minutes at 6:30 pace! That is probably not going to happen. Followed by a gym sesh with heavy shit. Monday begins the running group at Crossfit. I am looking forward to it and to learning about Crossfit. I think the comraderie would be great. The sun is coming out and I should get out there. 

Supplements IM8, Metamucil PM progesterone and estradiol

Breakfast protein pancakes-                                                                        200 calories/25g protein          after workout a few more pancakes                                                            200 calories/25g protein          Before gym BCAA (makes me prickly)                                                      50 calories/9g protein        drive to lincoln 2 tsp espresso powder+fair life milk                                150 calories/13g protein         lunch tiffany plate-2 sausage, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, veg, cheese          400 calories /38protein        snack with coffee-toast, cc/jelly                                                                 150 calories/4g protein       Dinner 1 wing, BLT topping, 1/2 quesadilla, sour cream,                       630 calories/46g protein           

Maybe an overestimation but that's ok about 1800 calories/160 protein 


Progression run-I am going to be slow tomorrow. I actually hit the paces pretty close on this run. Usually my easy pace is 10min but this morning I started it at 9 and that made the adjustment. Next time I have a progression run start out at 7 and bring it down slowly. Hamstring is feeling some pain. 

5 min mobility, 20 min warm up at 9:00-9:30 pace, 10 min hard (started out under pace, hit pace and faded in the 2nd half 1.4 miles for 7:10ish pace) After my run (5 miles total) I headed to the gym. Mostly lower body lifts-RDL, Deadlift, ham curl, cossack stretch. 

Sunday almost 9 hours of sleep with 2.5 of REM. Got up made coffee, ate half my breakfast, read my devotional, got dressed, did my 5 min warm-up then out the door with the dogs. Super slow 30 minutes. The dogs were peeing on every tree and it was pouring rain. Returned with the

Breakfast 2 eggs, 1/2 cup cooked burger, 2 ezek cc/jelly     500/38

Tiffany plate 2 sausage, cottage cheese, veggies                 400 calories/35g protein 

Daves everything bagel with scallion cream cheese            400 calories 10g protein 

That is enough for today.

 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...
