Keeping the good days rolling! I like this.
Breakfast - 2 eggs, scrambled with onion, 1/2 potato done up as hash browns
Snack - Yogurt & two slices of 12 grain toast
Lunch - Turkey sandwich on sprouted whole grain bread with a slide of gouda, bowl of cherries and a SoyJoy bar
Dinner - 6oz. tuna steak (Seared), rissotto and cherries
Workout - 2.8 mile E1-2 Run - A good run, was able to keep a nice solid pace. I'm becoming more aware of heart rate zones and how they affect my performance. I really need to invest in a HRM to take with me, that will help a lot in my training.

Day 27
Another great feeling day. Killer workout, but I'll get to that in a sec. Let's go over the basics:
Breakfast - Denver bagel (Bacon, egg, cheese with green pepper and red onion) on a whole wheat bagel, Naked fruit smootie
Lunch - Parmesan crusted fish Lean Cuisine
Snack - Water & small bag of jerky
Dinner - Cookout at Matt's - Doritos and 2 turkey burgers with cheese. Many many beers...
So the beers aren't anything to gloat about, but I don't drink that often. Besides that the rest of the day was good!
Workout - Brick - 8.2 Mile Ride/1 Mile Run - Created an insane bike route from Station Two in Trumbull. I was going to ride from home, but people were coming to look at the house. Here's the route:
The hill up Strobel is INSANE. You think you're at the top and get a nice downhill, then there's ANOTHER up, then you have to get up Daniels Farm... Ugh, was long but good. I'll have to do this one again to gauge my hill performance.
Followed it up with a brick run on the treadmill - I kept it slow because my heart rate was just crazy when at a 12:00 mile (Over 150). I'm sure that's how it will be when I race, but I'm hoping with more training that will come down.
All in all a good day - was feeling the workout in my legs the next day!

Day 26
Back in the office today, much better all in all!
Breakfast - Yogurt with Dorset cereal, cranberry juice and coffee with sugar
Lunch - Chicken avacado salad, chips & salsa and a marg
Dinner - Two Lean Pockets (Turkey, broccoli & cheese), a few slices of deli turkey
Dessert - Grande light java chip frappaccino from Starbucks
Workout - Swim 12x50 - 6 x breaststroke, 5x freestyle, 1x backstroke, 1 - 1.5 RBI. A good swim, looking forward to getting my new swimsuit (TYR sport trunks) and goggles. Without the goggles, I feel like my laps are kinda choppy, not smooth at all (Bad form).
A good day all in all, but again, need more veggies and I need to bring my water bottle back into the office as I'm not drinking enough water.

Day 25
Naples, FL today. Was doing okay until dinner. On the road I need to behave more... Off day for exercise.
Breakfast - Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese, coffee with sugar
Lunch - 6" Subway double turkey with lettuce, tomato, pickles and cucumbers with ranch, Doritos and raspberry ice tea (Should have had water...)
Dinner - Chips & salsa, turkey sandwich with fries (Why do I keep getting these fries?), 1 big beer.
It's all the sandwiches and stuff that I keep eating... I feel like I need more veggies mixed in to my diet, at least when I travel.

Day 24
Today we went from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale to Naples. Lots of driving!
Breakfast - Bacon, egg & cheese on a whole wheat bagel, coffee with sugar
Lunch - Tex mex salad at Offerdhal's - black beans, corn, salad, grilled chicken with Southwest dressing, iced tea and a breadstick
Dinner - Lightly fried asian shrimp, stuffed fish and tempura salmon
Dessert - Walnut brownie with ice cream - could only eat half. Didn't need it at all - could have split something with Phil.
Workout - A2 Accelerations Runs - 35 minutes on the treadmill - 2x 5.6x3 min, 2x 6x3min, 3 min RBI. Good workout, looking forward to longer runs. I really want to get a heart rate monitor to help me on my cycle and running.
