It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I can't wait to get out and run at 4pm. Another rocking session in the HoM this morning, we are getting pretty good at the 3X20 min blocks. High intensity. Speed, seated climbing, standing climbs with surges and then increasing maximal efforts starting at ten seconds and adding five per set. Nice workout for a pre-dawn Wednesday.I am about a month into my weekly massage, chiropractic treatments and I think it is paying off. The easiest area to measure being range of motion. A big plus here. And as I ran the 13.1 Sunday with little pain (other than the usual) I think the real payout will come towards the end of the season when the stresses are at their peak (and poker chips stacked highest). Funny how that works.
Your obedient and humble human lab rat is at it again. The next testing period will be April and consist of the following protocol: Low glycemic carbs and high intensity training. Why? December's "no bread" diet produced a net loss of four pounds. February's "no beer" regimen resulted in only two. I would really like to hit target race weight of 155 by May 1. That means some drastic measures are being called for and I like the info, research and results of many athletes that have tested this approach. So here we go. You will find updates here as they happen, including recipes and other pertinent details.
Granted there are some oddities involved. One, I am already vegetarian and already on a low carb diet. But, as we have seen, all carbohydrates are not created equal, allowing us the perfect opportunity for the test. Low GI foods on high-intensity days, with medium GIs as recovery foods and on LSD days. For the thirty days in April. I will keep you updated. My weight this morning after spin was 159. It is probably 165 by now after that delicious banana, honey and sunflower seed on Ezekiel toast I gobbled after the session.
Lastly, for your midweek entertainment (and moral consideration) please take a peek at this video. It is an animated short that is getting a lot of attention. And rightfully so. I was hooked and think it is superb.

here is something from related link: 'Los Angeles is one of the lowest per capita water users in California and that Southern California leads the world in water recycling (1994 statistics). The drought in LA and the Mono Lake problem transformed water management and led to an increase in water reclamation facilities.'

It took me while to get the connection, but then I remembered the video. Yeah, that is the crux of the problem. Water and water management (and of course global population). Think I'll watch Chinatown again. Nice effort in the park last night. TJ 31 is two weeks from Sunday. ONE WATER STATION.
if i get to run over spring break, i can do the tj. i need practice lord knows. sometimes i think about going back to golf and tennis where i have some competency
This is for FUN, dude. Golf is way to serious and tennis too many high speed right angle turns. Running and biking are where IT is AT. Unless you're a lawyer and then you must golf for some silly reason, probably the scotch. You might be doomed.
