Starting Another Week

This week is looking to be an improvement over the last:

Guess that means I’ll have no excuse to execute the plan:

• Monday: Scheduled rest
• Tuesday: 2 miles
• Wednesday: 3 miles
• Thursday: 2 miles
• Friday: Scheduled rest
• Saturday: 3 miles
• Sunday: 2 miles
• Total plan: 12 miles

Most likely I will end up doing more miles. I’m starting to feel comfortable on my feet and getting used to the stench of seat, so I’ll most likely do more in the hills this week.

As far as last week, I missed plan by half a mile. I thought I was going to be on plan, but I miscalculated my Sunday run in Buck Gully. At least the sounds were soothing:

Last week’s summary:

• Planned miles: 13.5
• Actual miles: 13
• Calorie deficit/(surplus): (354)
• Weigh in: 258 lbs

Obviously, the calories and weight are bothersome. I’m still not getting the hunger feeling thing. I’ve got work to do…..  

Sure Enough the Rain Came

Kind of off and on and drizzle and torrential for most of the day, but between phone calls and networking lunches and crafting the resume, the day got past me before I had a chance to get a run in.

Did I say resume? Yes. I am looking for my next gig. If you are wondering why you see more of me and the trails of OC and not me and the airport, it's because I transitioned off the project I was on two weeks ago. I have to admit, it's been nice to not have to get up at 5AM and climb on a plane every Monday. Anyone know anybody looking for a Healthcare IT Management Consultant?

Calories:

• Budget: 1530
• Consumed: 1498
• Exercise: 0
• Too few/(too many): (32)

It's been a while. I forgot how few 1500 calories is....

Brrrrrrr!!!!

There is a storm coming into Socal this weekend. It will be nothing like what the East is expecting, but then again, we aren’t built to handle weather here. In fact, here’s what the aftermath of a couple inches of rain looks like here in Newport Beach (taken a couple years ago):

The other thing that happens around here is all the trails in the hills are closed for three days after a storm. It seems a little heavy handed that local government gets involved at that level, but if they didn’t, the trails around here would get trashed by the runners and mountain bikes:

So, in anticipation of the trails being closed this weekend (and in anticipation of a big poker tournament I’ll play in on Saturday), I moved my Saturday run to Thursday. I stuck to Bommer Ridge for 4 1/2 miles, and one word came to mind as the cold wind blew up from the ocean. Brrrrrr!!!! I’m sure glad I slapped on some thin sleeves!

Wednesday calorie count:

• Budget: 1530
• Consumed: 1552
• Exercise: 0
• Too few/(too many): (22)

Thursday calorie count:

• Budget: 1530
• Consumed: 2007
• Exercise: 644
• Too few/(too many): (167)

I’ll try to put in a couple miles around the neighborhood today. In between the showers of course. You don’t expect a Southern Californian to run in the rain, do you?
