Feelin' Good

So Binghamton Basketball... Advances to semi-finals crushing UMBC :-)

So Binghamton T&F... Congrats on Runner-Up position and Top performers :-)

It must be catching. I feel great. During my easy 45 min today I put out a 9 min 2400m without any effort and continued to put sub-3's for the 800m in a fartlek kind of way. I did not push myself. This week is a good recovery week, but you always need a little speed to stay fresh. The celebrate life half marathon is coming up next week and I hope I post a good time. I think I have a good shot at winning this half-marathon. Last year's time was 1:18:30 and I feel I'm a lot stronger than I was after training 43 days from my accident.

Bella is still hobbling around. The vet said that she may have lyme disease and that may be why one of her joints is acting up. They put her on medication so we'll see how she reacts to it. It comatose's her pretty well throughout the day. Ironically Doxy-cycline (spelling?) is the same anti-biotic I was put on during the emergency surgery on my clavicle. I feel like Bella and I have something in common. :p

Stretching Day...

I need to do some good stretching today. I've been blah (well relaxed), which I guess I need. I need for my nervous system to rejuvenate itself. But stretching will be good, especially my lungs. My lungs are a bit tight. I feel once I rest this week, my body will be strong for the half marathon at the end of next week.

Nutrition
Corn Chex Cereal w/ milk (drank a little chocolate milk with what milk was left over in the bowl)

Home for the Day

Finally got home from Binghamton after investor searching. I hope to get this real estate process moving. I like the idea of getting 2 smaller homes for cheap rather than 1 larger home for a lot. Makes sense to me with the big rental market there and if consumers become more confident in the future they will want to buy small and conservatively rather than elaborately.

Today's Workout
90 min Easy Bike

Nutrition
Bagel with CC
Apple Sauce
McDonalds - 4 chicken nuggets, cheeseburger, small fry, with a fruit smootie (yeah don't judge me)
string cheese
my mother's chile w rice
bagel with butter
