I've been Brained! E-mail
me if you'd like to see my SportBrain journal, and I'll send you a SportBrain
invitation. (There's no way currently to just link to any old SportBrain page.)
Right now there's nothing but one lap of the Kitty Tour on my Brain journal, but
for some strange reason it told me the Kitty Tour was 0.67 miles long. Could I
have mis-measured it? I think it's more likely that I need to take the Brain to
the gym and calibrate it on a treadmill. At any rate, it was a real confidence
boost to see that it at least had thought I'd walked at a 4 MPH pace for .67 miles.
We'll see what it thinks after I get it to the gym in a little bit! I made
arrangements with my friend Beth, the Disney Dead, to go for a virtual
wog at 9 AM tomorrow - just when she's doing the first hour of her real-life marathon
- the Jersey Shore is tomorrow. GO, BETH! YOU ROCK!

Training 4/26 - Schedule:30-45 min walk/run
- Actual 3 hr
hike with friend
- Distance: 6.7 miles
- Speed: 2 mph average
- Calories
Burned: 771
Had a walk date with Grace to go hiking at Wekiva Springs.
Took it easy because of my recent foot injury and kept a nice solid 2 mph pace.
Very scenic, wonderful weather, good convo. It was a breezy 78 deg. today and
we were both amazed. The rain earlier this week really cooled things off. Ran
out of Body Glide though and got home with chafed thigh. I have to go buy some
more.

Pushups | I don't know but I felt liek
it today. | Rained today. Weights went really
well today -- surprised by how fast bicep strength is changing. Also surprised
myself by actually WANTING to do push-ups. Normally hate them But I just wanted
to see if they still felt as gross as I remembered. (From the knees, not the toes).
It was hard, but not as gruesome as I thought it would be. Definite improvements
with upper body strength.

a nice weights workout. Felt it really working my shoulders. Skipped cardio. I'm
not breathing well. Got up up with a totally clogged head. I don't know if it's
from cleaning and the dust being stirred up bugging my allergies or I'm getting
a head cold. Took a Claritin and then later took a Contac. Neither did much for
my nose. Sigh. On the bright side, I've done weights consitantly for 2 weeks.
Go me!

house stuff and family stuff. Got my notes from Theresa (DW dietitian) and
I'm supposed to go over this food plan she sent along. We have a meeting on Tuesday.
For the most part, she's suggesting the same as Karen -- about 60% carbs, 20%
protein, 20% fat, 1800 calories. We'll see how I like working with her... so far
I like the better accessibility via e-mail.
