briefly

Exercise update: I went to the YMCA today and did 32 minutes on the elliptical machine. I followed that up with 10-15 minutes of upper body weights on the cybex machines. Tomorrow I'm starting a 10 week 15K program I found on the Internet to get ready for the October 15th Urbanathlon. it leaves lots of time for cross training so I can make sure I get the stregth training and interval work I'll need to complete the obstacles. My foot continues to be a challenge, but I got some teatment today and we'll see how it goes. It felt good right after but is pretty sore right now. Tomorrow I'm scheduled for a 2 mile run.

Nutrition update: I tracked everything today so far on myfooddiary.com and I think I'm doing ok. I sent away for a Fitbit to use as a tracker of activity and food when it arrives. it will sync with my computer automatically, it looks pretty cool. it's supposed to measure movement and activity all day (although not biking or swimming, you enter those yourself) and even monitor the quality of your sleep. I hope it works like it appears to.

Random stuff: I went back to work today after a week of vacation. It's always a bit disorienting at first, but I'm glad to say my attitude was better. I'm trying to not take it all so seriously and just try to do a little good for people while providing for my family.

Big election day tomorrow. I'm voting Shilling and I hope everyone else who can does...
