Am lean protein ideas other than chicken and eggs ? Just bored right now and looking for other options.
Steak can be surprisingly lean...

also 85/15, or 90/10 ground beef,


it seems the trend of late is that fat is not the enemy... added sugar, extra sugar etc... seems to be more harmful, whether this is the meat lobby at work or not, I'm not certain...

I totally agree with the over training/exhaustive training prior to tapering and resting. I?ve done this a number of times in my powerlifting career and it is extremely beneficial.

On another note I feel confident in saying that you should obtain your goal in your hometown 5K based on some of the training numbers I?ve seen you posting up. I?m not sure of the course elevation but if it?s relatively flat, or minor elevation you should do well.

I am running the Pittsburgh half marathon for the first time this coming Sunday. Forecast is for rain so I?m not overly excited about that. Considering I have never run this particular race I will PR either way-LOL
I have run my hometown half marathon, dub the toughest half in the country and I believe it, and I?ve completed it in 1:50- 1:55 three times.
My first big race was last year in Columbus Ohio half marathon and I finished in 1:42 minutes on a relatively flat course. As you know Pittsburgh is level before you get to town and level when you leave town and nothing in between where the race is-LOL. Considering the race is so early in the year and my training is not where I was last fall and all of the elevation change, i?m hoping for a time between 1:45 and 1:50.

Those are great times! Hills definitely can make or break a pace. My hometown 5k is pretty dang flat luckily. Spartan Races at ski resorts....not so much. Good luck on Sunday!!

ADDED sugar, is and always has been the enemy.

Was down a few pounds this morning. Had to cut my workout a bit short today as the children decided to get up way earlier than planned.

I hate when they dont mark things well I've done that before on a 5k trail run turned and went a bit out of my way before realizing what had happened and turning around. Looks like it was a wet wet race course

Very wet. Poorly ran but prob in part to rain. Many folks made same mistake in several diff areas.
They had about 5 diff style races going on at same time. (Relays)

Tuesday

Made the wife and kids go on a 3 mile walk up into town the long way. Stopped half way at one the ice cream shops in town and had dinner. Rewarded the kiddos with mini sundaes for walking that far. Was surprised how well they did for a 3 and 5 year old.
