Well this week has defintely been a change from the recent norm. I have just been hanging out with friends, eating food I normally wouldn't, and just relaxing. I still have had daily workouts, but I am still in recovery mode. I have been sleeping and just going with the flow. Tomorrow I have a swim and run and then the Padres home opener. I am thinking I will sleep in, run, go to work, swim at lunch, and then it's off to the game.
I watched "What it Takes" this morning as I spun away on the trainer. What really made me think is when Peter Reid was talking about his diet, and his "self diagnosed" eating disorder. A lot of that reflects to what I have been thinking this week. After eating so healthy and clean for the last couple of months I have felt really guitly indulging in not-so-good food and drinks this week. Every bad thing I have been eating has made me feel guitly, but it hasn't stopped me. Two weeks ago I had a fitness test and they did a body fat test and I came in at 3.7%. That's probably too lean.
So this week I am just living it up. I have 2 baseball games to to and after having to work late for an upgrade tonight my brother and I headed to a sports bar to watch the Pads try to sweep the Giants (didn't happen). We had beers and nachos... and chicken wings! I need to kind of let go and relax and recover. I worked really hard and was really focuesd on the 70.3 and I need to let go of that race. The next 3 weeks are going to be tough ones. Jim uploaded my schedule and it looks like fun, and by fun I mean it's going to kick my ass. A lot more intensity than I have had so far this year. I have 2 races on back to back weekends and I am training through them with Temecula being my next "A" race. So staring Sunday it's on. I will be back to the training diet and hopefully packing on a couple pounds of muscle over the next few weeks.
enjoy.
I am into this song from one of my favorite bands, "Say Anything":
Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too

Hey, looks like we have the same schedule through Temecula. Looking forward to racing with you again. Great attitude; way to bounce back from that 70.3! Sooner or later I'll find time to update my site.
I got that DVD for Christmas. It really helped my wife understand why I'm so addicted to triathlon. She is not a movie person and I'm a DVD nut. So when we started the movie on Sat and SHE suggested that we finish it the next day, I was exstatic. She finally gets it, but then again it could just be that she's happy she can wrap her arms around me again.
You are one lean SOB. Although I question the accuracy of the body fat test unless you did by the submersion method. I had about a 6-7% fat test result at the health club and then did the submersion test at the university and had a 14%. a 50% differance. Enjoy some endulgence, you deserve it.
