Week 7: Strength and Stretching

Today was a much needed off day. Have you ever pushed yourself to the point where you KNOW just a little more and you would have hurt yourself rather than just push yourself? Yesterday was that day for me. Today I took advantage of the break from running to get in a couple good stretches and lots of water. Come Marathon day I'll regret not doing more strength training, but such is life. My path is my own, but it will still lead to Ironman. That makes it all worth while.

Today I had some fruit and nuts for breakfast. Lunch was ham biscuits and green tea. Dinner is still pending. Since this blog is all about marking my words, I'll go ahead and document it here that starting this week, on strength and rest days I will balance out my diet and give myself a chance to recover. Looking back it seems like the Tuesday/Wednesday runs are always struggles followed by solid meals and a strong finish to the week. My guess is that this is the result of my diet kicking my butt. I'll fix that in the coming weeks and see what happens.

All in all a great day. I have an amazing wife, a great job, a great business, inspirational friends, and a big, big dream to chase. I'm blessed to be a blessing. Hope to see you all very soon.
