must be folks sleeping in on the right shore

good hill workout yesterday, strength train this evening

qotd: any recent changes in diet?  I’ve changed my breakfast juice from oj to dark cherry (supposedly a good anti inflammatory); DW has been cooking a lot of Vietnamese food- haven’t had a dish I didn’t like- appears to be pretty healthy too

Ugh- I'm in a spell of insomnia, which sucks all motivation to do anything remotely difficult, especially running. Did not run Sunday, not sure about today. But I will at least get in a hike in the woods during swim practice with the dog, who seems to have mild separation anxiety (working on it, but it makes it harder to leave the house for a long run). It's also hot again. Oh, when will this end?

Mt- My household is half vietnamese. Very tasty food, but surprisingly not as healthy as it seems sometimes. It can be very high in sodium (fish sauce, soy sauce and other condiments) and while there may be vegetables (i.e. a lot of cucumbers, sprouts) they can be low in nutrients and fiber.  But other than rice noodles and white rice, there is not a lot of processed food in the diet.

qotd: I've been eating a lot less meat lately, and more almost-vegan meals. I have no intention of becoming a full time vegan/vegetarian but would like for that to be my predominant diet. Next step is to reduce sugar, which will be really hard for me. I have a killer sweet tooth.

I'm in KC for the week so no mid day miles but since Sept 1 I've been making sure to get at least 1 mile of walking in and on the days of scheduled miles I get a lot more.  The elevator here is broke so walking up and down 5 flights has given me my miles and then some 

qotd: I've been cutting out fried foods and trying to cut back processed foods like chips and cookies but it's hard sometimes, especially when traveling.  My boss does not eat healthy anything and I'm stuck going to lunch and breakfast when he comes along.

Weekend ketchup. Spent a lot of time with the dogs of course. Walks, runs, dog jogs. Baker went to his first family get party. My nephew's daughters birthday party, sort of an outdoor picnic. He was very nervous most of the day down there, I think worried he was being moved again, or perhaps just all the new stuff (chickens, rooster, outdoor cats, new people and young kids). He did not calm down until it was about time to leave but he did manage to snag some birthday cake that fell on the ground. 

Yesterday, we went out for about 5 miles at Birdsboro watershed trails. He saw his first set of horses on the trail and was very good. He seemed more interested in the dog the horsey back people had tagging along. Then my friend came over with his dog Rebel and they had some play time. He was so tired last night. Curled up on my lap and slept during the football game.

Today is usual stuff. Dog walk/jog this morning and 2 more regular paced miles with Baker around the block at lunch. Another lady in the hood has a gsp and we met her during our run. She pedals hers around the neighborhood with some type of contraption that connects the dog to her bike. Probably just a walk later with the dogs. Sleepy this afternoon.

QOTD: No. Not yet. The chiro I see monthly recommended bone broth for my whonky knees as opposed to a liquid or pill form of glucosomine. I have not searched that out yet.

No run. Long work day.

 

QOTD:  Like Gator, I made a beer change; from New England IPA's to Hazy IPA's.  Also my food intake is the same but my mileage is much lower, so I'm fat and slow...but with a Hazy IPA, I'm happy.

funny, in the West, New England IPA = hazy IPA

wonder what’s up with that?

NO run today...but a walk down the beach and maybe a bike ride later.

Qotd: my diet has fallen apart...I am eating more meat than ever and also red me.  Today I had a huge breakfast that came with ham and I just said yuck it and didn’t ask fir without gsm 🤷‍♀️...

gator:  that was a good one.

Sandy: that sucks but you runnsooo consistently that maybe a month off is in order?

Xt: We took our friends 6 month old pup on our run yesterday...fun...she is very tired today.  Love my friends but between the two of them they equal at least 600 pounds...poordog never gets walked!
