Weekend edition day 40-42 rain...rain...rain GO AWAY

-

 Friday (8 hours sleep) I woke up feeling nauseous. I took my IM8 and electrolytes, but still had a yucky tummy so I saved my eggs and burger for lunch. Why wouldn't I be hungry in the morning? I ran out the door into the rainy morning ready for another Friday. School went well. I got my steps in the rain at morning walk, recess, and freecess. I got word that my job is (probably) safe which makes me very relieved. All my work was not in vain

Food-Breakfast 2 eggs w/burger, toast with cc/jelly         350 calories/35g protein                                          lunch thai chicken and rice, yogurt with berries, walnuts, cinnamon   500 calories/35g protein                  snack vegan whole food brownie-dates, maple syrup, cocoa               150 calories/ 3g protein                dinner 2 sausage, cottage cheese, pickles, peppers, radishes                400 calories/35g protein                    extra bite of chicken sandwich and extra calories in case                    200 calories/5g protein

total 1600 calories and 110 g protein 

I am so full all of the time but not satisfied. 

Saturday up at 5am only 7.5 hours of sleep but I am sooooo tired. 

Breakfast 2 eggs, cottage cheese, pancake                               400 calories and 30g protein                          snack 1 egg, 1/2 bagel cut out, cream cheese with hots         260 calories /11g protein

It might be time to start counting fiber. 30 grams is what I need. 120g protein and 30 g fiber. 

Got out early for my goal pace workout. It was pouring rain but out I went. Warm-up 8 min mobility inside, then jog easy for 7 min about .75 out. 15 minutes held onto 7:30. Started slow, alerted that I was going too slow, so picked it up then finally settled into 7:23ish. Around 1.75 my glute/hip began hurting and I did not want to stride out or injure my tired legs any further so when the 15 min was up I kept going but slowed into a pace that allowed my leg a little relief (7:45ish). I was happy to get 2.64 miles in 20 minutes (avg. 7:35 pace). Then cool down with the dogs. They dragged me through the woods to find the perfect poop spot. 

I came home, changed and headed to the gym. Warm up deadlift 25#Cossacks with 20#, Pallof with lunge 30# cable, lat pulldown 80#, Bridge 35#DB, banded double clams, then all of these people came in and I totally lost track of my workout. Got in my time and headed home to get the guys ready for their 2nd rainy game in so many days. 

Between my run and workout, I took BCAA with l alanine and found out that is what has been making me itchy. I can either take less, or deal with the hot, itchy skin for an hour or so while it works it way out of my system. 

Here is something unrelated. I have taught a humanities-based curriculum for my entire homeschool career including Winter Term. Anyway nobody asked me and I wonder if it would be rude to share my plans with our team. Is it considered bragging? I just looked over my lessons. Wow. I was creative and smart and amazing. I really wish I could be her again but how can I bring that level of curiousity to my classes. I will have to get back into reading and studying classical education for science. That is where it is at. 

Sunday-May 11

Ran 1 hour 45 minutes, about 9.25 miles this morning. The rain stopped (finally), and the weather was perfect for a long run. After breakfast, we did a quick hike up Jockey Cap.

Breakfast pre-run-ezek cc/rasp, yogurt, walnut, honey                         350 calories 20g protein                  after eggs benedict                                                                                625 calories 37 g protein               protein pudding                                                                                      150 calories 15g protein             dinner salad, evoo, dressing, chicken, rice                                              500 calories and 40g protein    

I'd say about 1800 calories and 112g protein

 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...
