Week 1, Day 2 - Shane

Got 10 hours of sleep last night. It was glorious.

Exercise: 35 minute core workout using the big bouncy balls at the gym. Ran outside for the first time in months - temperature was up to 40 degrees, a full 90 degrees warmer than it was last week. I covered 4 miles in 36 minutes over ice, gravel, snow, and mud - some stretches were a bit like running in the sand on a beach.

Post-workout meal: Peanut butter sandwich, 3 eggs, and an apple.

Other food today:
3 sticks of string cheese
1 can of sardines
about 1 cup each of celery sticks and carrot sticks with 2 tablespoons bleu cheese dressing
4 cups of edamame beans (including pods, so actual edamame might have been about a cup)
2 servings of chicken pot pie, which had a fairly starchy filling (and had potatoes as well as a white flour crust). We'll call that an unnecessary indulgence, but I couldn't be rude - I was at a friend's house for dinner.
1/2 cup cottage cheese will be my pre-bed snack.

Indulgence: Aforementioned chicken pot pie

Tomorrow I'll start my 2 a day workouts, since I'll be doing PT with my unit in the mornings during duty days.

Meanwhile, for some reason my mom is insisting that I don't know how to swim. My older sister says she'd rather do Iron Chef than Ironman, which, to be honest, sounds like it would be awesome too. Oh, and I'll close with an IM conversation I had yesterday that amused me:

(02:41:03 PM) me: well i did 10 miles on the bike today
(02:41:14 PM) me: and a 5k (3.1 mile) run after that
(02:52:52 PM) adam: huh
(02:53:00 PM) adam: thats worse than before
(02:53:06 PM) adam: you were at 6 mi
(02:53:10 PM) adam: and now you're half that
(02:53:16 PM) me: yeah but...i biked 10 miles too
(02:53:23 PM) adam: no that doesn't count
(02:53:32 PM) me: whatever - the biking is harder for me than running
(02:53:36 PM) adam: you might as well drive 50 mi and add that too
