Day 455

49 minutes.  That's the time for the bike ride around the Padden mtn. bike trail.  I guess I'm getting better as I noticed that I was able to ride parts without getting off.  I also realized that the up hill stuff that I have to walk up was getting easier ( not as much gasping for air ).  Overall it's looking good.  Now I just need to figure out this thing with my back.  I didn't notice it during both the run yesterday and the ride today until I got home.  Then it would flair up.  I'm trying to stretch it out and ice it but don't know how effective that will be.  I guess tomorrow will tell.  At least it doesn't seem to be worse after yesterday's stretching workout.  Good news I think.

Breakfast: Just a banana and 20oz of cold water

After the bike ride: Protein drink

After grocery shopping: Hamburger with egg and bacon on Ciabatta bun.  Added tomato and avocado.  Onion rings and sweet potato fries.

During the day I had two apple fritters.

Dinner: Salad with cottage cheese, tomato, and a hard boiled egg with cilantro dressing.

So the weekend workouts were great but the back thing is just bugging me.  I hope it's going to get better and not interfere in the race in October.
