This just about killed me today: I took the kids ice skating at the local recreation center. Only it wasn't on ice, but rather some sort of "environmentally friendly" alternative.i That, in a nutshell, perfectly characterizes Marin County, CA.
I wanted to check out this cool feature available via Posterous; let's see how this works. In fact, I do think I am going to "crowdsource" this decision so whatever you guys come up via this poll with is what I will likely do.
Here it all is, laid out on my desk.
Breakfast: oatmeal (whole oats - gnarly) and a smoothie. Snack1: almonds Snack2: carrots and peanut butter Lunch: salad, chicken soup, pasta and turkey sauce. Snack3: sunflower seeds and mandarin Snack4: bag of celery
Low iodine diet Day Two. One the menu for this evening: an artichoke, salad, kale stew (that's right. And it actually isn't half bad) and beef stew.
Wait till you see breakfast and lunch. I'll send a picture of that in a separate post.... is with a great - and I mean great - beer. I present to you Pliny the Elder.
I'll have more on the race tomorrow but suffice to say it was epic. I struggled a bit and didn't have th race I had hoped for - and I probably held Perrault back a bit - but screw it. This race is just epic and I'm sincerely happy just to have finished. But boy - did I suffer. Anyway, more tomorrow when my brain isn't as scrambled. I've attached a few race photos in addition to the one of the beer.I di a 9 mile, pre Quad Dipsea racr today in San Francisco with my boy Payro, who's in from D.C. Let's hope this wasn't a harbinger of things to come next week because I felt like complete crap. Not sure if it was the rainy weather, or my legs are just cooked from all this training, but I just felt awful. Think my pace was around 7:40 or so. It's not that I was going that slow, just that I felt crappy the entire way and my heart was pegged super high. Enough of that. Don't want to bring myself bad luck.
Anyway, on the way home the sky cleared and I saw the most amazing rainbow; it literally spanned the from Mount Tam to Sausalito. I snapped a picture while driving (I know, I know) which doesn't come close to doing it justice.
