Hell Week Day #3
2:00a Finally in bed. Endorphins from the late workout finish did NOT help with the sleep.
4:50a Awake! I better try to give this sleep thing another try…
7:30a Up for good this time. Hopefully this means I can finish my run before it gets too hot. 165lbs this morning — much closer to actual weight, which means I’m winning the hydration battle.
8:00a Oatmeal (cinnamon, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, Maldon sea salt) and coffee.
9:00a Morning goal = begin run by 10a!
9:15-:45a NormaTec recovery boots to get the blood flowing.
10:50a Out the door!
1:30p 16.5 miles with 2.5k ft of climbing. Hot again today and didn’t feel great out there (especially on the descents!) but got through it. Nothing remarkable. Average pace(8:23/mi) was 1 second per mile slower than my effort on Monday, which is interesting because on Monday I chose to walk the steep sections and today I avoided hiking and slowly jogged instead.

2:00p Late lunch of spinach salad with steak, some leftover bacon bits, 1/2 hard-boiled egg. And then chips and guac.
2:00–3:00p Square Q1 Earnings Call. Gotta make sure that (very modest) nest egg is trending in the right direction! #basementlife
4:00p 30 minute with legs up on wall to help drain some of the fluid build-up.
4:45p NormaTec recovery boots.
5:30p Begin dinner prep.
6:30p Stromboli, spinach salad, cornbread, and catching up on Billions (Season 2 has been such a disappointment…).
7:30p Shutting down laptop for the evening. Let’s see if I can get in bed before 9p and get nice and rested for the workout tomorrow!
