Day 377

Alright the weekend is here and that means it's time to learn some new moves from L.  We focused on balance issues and talked more about what is good for running.  She suggested a technique called, "Fartsomething", I don't remember exactly what it was called as she lost me at "Fart".  :)  The idea though is to condition your body by running faster for a minute and then slowing to the previous speed.  So if I'm jogging along at a pace I will speed up for a short distance and then return to the pace previous to speeding up.  I'll try it tomorrow at Padden.  I didn't go for a bike ride after the workout like usual as I'm meeting friends at the range.

So I had a bit of a break through at the range.  I was struggling a bit with hitting the target.  Well not actually hitting the target but hitting the target specifically I was aiming at.  Got some good advice from friends and that seemed to help.  I'm not a bad shot you just wouldn't want me to shoot an apple off your head.  Maybe some day but not currently.  It's fun though and I'm glad I can do it.

Breakfast: Two Wasa Rye crisp with turkey, avocado, and tomato with some Babybel cheese.  20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: Met up with friends and had a small Chicken Chipotle salad with ice tea.

Dinner: So I had a small salad at lunch because I was going with friends to a banquet and I'd been told it was a buffet.  Turned out it wasn't a buffet as we were served a plate of food all on our own.  It consisted of a small piece of meatloaf with a piece of bacon wrapped on it, half of a cup mix of asparagus and green beans and 3/4 cup of mashed potatoes with some gravy.  For dessert I had two chocolate chip cookies and a small brownie.  It was an okay meal for what it was.  After all it was prepared for about 150 people so gourmet wasn't a word that would describe this particular meal.  I did feel hungry after I got home but couldn't pull the trigger on eating anything so I'm thinking I won a small battle there.  There was alcohol available but I chose to decline the temptation.

Okay prepared for running at Padden tomorrow.  I'll try that "Farting" technique L recommended and we'll see how that goes.  Also trying to think of what to do for meals for the coming week.  I'm still wanting to cut some carbs but after looking at what I actually eat (most of the time) I really don't eat that many carbs.  I'm sticking with it though even though I might modify it a tiny bit.  If I do it will be breakfast that gets the modification.
