Exercise update: Recovering from triathlon today, so I stuck with walking the dog. I am pleased that I'm not really sore today from yesterday's efforts. Part of me thinks that means I could have tried harder, but the other part says I followed the plan of using it as a training day primarily. I think it also shows I've built some endurance and ability to recover. I'll get back to regular workouts tomorrow.
The Urbanathlon is 11 weeks from yesterday, so I'll tweak what I'm doing to include more strength training. I'll also focus more on running and include some stairs to prepare for Soldier Field...yikes!!!
Nutrition update: I watched what I ate carefully today and myfooddiary.com would indicate I've been pretty successful. I'm right on the edge calorically and I'm at 9.8% saturated fats when they prefer 9%, but it's a good start. I'm planning on weighing in tomorrow (and every day after) and setting an Urbanathlon goal of 10 pounds lighter than whatever number I get.
Random Musings: Yesterday's post about the triathlon is the most read post I've put up. Thanks for spreading the word, it's very encouraging when people follow what I'm doing and even make comments or suggestions. Rehabbing this old carcass is surely taking a village.
I am debating posting less often (every other day or twice a week or something). Some days the posts are pretty banal and some days I just don't have much to say. I'll think about it for a while, but if anyone cares one way or the other let me know. For today at least, I feel if I speak less often I might have more to say?
Hmmm, I wonder where else that might apply for me:)
