Jan 2nd- Jan 8th

 “Forgiveness is the final form of love.” - Reinhold Niebuhr

This quote hit me this week when I came across it and got me reflecting some...  Still in the process of forgiving myself for some bad choices that I made the past few years and I am getting better at it every day at forgiving myself.  I tend to be very hard on myself.   I credit Paula for a lot of this.....

8 am:  5.2 miles averaging 8:10 pace.  Easy cruise around the Tech Center from the gym right after lifting... felt slow but all good.  Same route as yesterday.

---  Starting a nutrition challenge tomorrow that runs for 35 days.  Basically just clean eating (whole foods only), no alcohol, min of 45mins a day of exercise, read at least 10 pages, and stretching every night.  Since I am only allowing myself one drink a month and there is no alcohol allowed in the challenge which will be over the rest of the month, I talked Paula into meeting our friends Rey and ZB for a drink last night before the challenge starts.  January's drink has been consumed and yes it was an Old Fashion.

With Marisa and Thomas…. All rows were 48sec or less. Only 2 rounds were unbroken double unders so 15 penalty burpees total. 

10 am:  5.2 miles averaging 8 min pace.  Easy miles around the Tech Center right after the gym.. Took a few miles for the legs to come around after that rowing.

-- Started the clean eating today so threw out the junk food from the pantry and fridge....  I would have donated it but it was all open and half eaten.  LOL


--  Last week when I was up in Fairplay at Don's house he gave me this beast since he is getting a bigger one.... been using it every other day.  Tonight Paula came over and we spent 40mins sweating it out.  Thanks Don!!!




Sunday:

10:30 am:  Bike 15.3 miles in 1:25.  Gravel ride with Paula from Full Cycles in Boulder out around the Boulder Rez and back.  Group training ride for Old Man Winter in 4 weeks.  Super chill and lots of breaks as the group would come back together.





Total Weekly Numbers

Not the best week but not the worse either.  Missed running yesterday but okay with it.  Started the nutrition challenge on Saturday so much less calories than normal due to cutting out all processed food so been a little low energy as things adapt to the diet changes.  That is going to take about a week or so and yes the so called keto flu is real.
