I have to say reducing my mileage is working wonders for me, at least in the first full week back. I am heading into the weekend and I don’t feel overly tired or anything. The crazy thing is that it is only a mile hear or there but I guess it adds up over the week. Today is my day off but I figured I would write something as I woke up feeling like I could go get some miles in instead of feeling like I needed to take a day off. Maybe it is because I am getting the right amount of sleep. I have also incorporated my protein shakes back into my diet. I had gotten away from them for a while but they work wonders as I use them as meals in between my meals. It helps keep the calorie count down and keeps me going strong throughout the day. I also have to say salmon and chicken breast is the way to go and for a guy like me (that can’t cook) it is about the easiest thing you can do. If you can’t tell this week while my family was away I focused on the little things, which are actually pretty big things if you really think about it. I have a great feeling this year is going to go very well, I don’t know why but I am feeling extremely positive right now. Tomorrow I have an 8 miler and I was debating whether to sleep in and go do it or wake up early and get it done. I think I will wake up early because then I have the whole day to relax after that.

Two days ago on the 4th my daughter turned 10, happy birthday Benie!!!! I still can’t get over the fact that she is 10 already but she is away on a trip for her birthday and with it the camera. They will be back on Sunday night and that means the return of the videos. I will have a lot to talk about because some people don’t read these blogs but I am looking forward to posting the videos again, it’s been long enough. Time to go to work…
