Hey! Dropping in to say hi. How are things going?

Nice shoes!

I've never heard of them, but they seem interesting.

Hope all is great. Have an awesome weekend!

-Robert

Email me when you go. I will pm you my email address...I may have my daughter with and if it's Wed,, can't go. Ya, Jimbos is a ways. I live by 4s store..it's pricey. He used to be off 30th and university in the middle of what I call the colorful part of San Diego...the heart of North Park, back in the day He bumped it up a few notches and he is a huge player in independent Natural Food Stores, as well as his first manager / produce manager was Jay Robb, the whey protein guy. They both have done exceedingly well. Hmmmm.

Cinnamon toast crunch- ever do puffins? (barbara's)

I'll let you know when I go.

Hey Robert, they are ok, I've developed a sore spot in my foot from them, though.

Oh my body fat is down around 9 or 10%, I have been eating around 2,000 kcal a day. I have been losing body fat slowly at a steady slow pace. Should I raise my kcal when I get low? I remember reading that somewhere.

Now that my ruptured vein is nearly healed and it doesn't hurt to grip things with my right hand I can work on getting back on a regular schedule.

2-26-12 Chest/Triceps 3:30PM-4:20PM
DB Floor Chest Press 146lbs x5x5x4x3x3 ->Stay (Found a unique way to get the DBs into starting position)
Weighted Dips +45lbs x2 Fail +40lbs x5x5x31/2x3 ->Stay
Chest Flys 2x48lbs x8x8x8x8 ->Stay, no more weight
Triceps Raises w/ Straps +25lbs x10x10x8x7 ->Stay

Guess my chest is rusty and weighted push-ups are not the end all be all.

Here are some pics to make you hurl. And yes, that is a bag of shit.




LOL AL SHARPTON HAIR.

Day off today, ravenously hungry. Already ate all my food in my diet plan plus some popcorn. I think I need to go out and get myself some carbs.

I like the beard. Also like the journal title.

Thanks, I am quite fond of my mustacheless beard. It was a lot longer but I chose to trim it to help me get an apartment. I'm letting it grow back out to it's full glory.

I'm a big fan of the Vibrams ever since I got them last April. I wear the KSO variety. I like the almost-barefoot feel, but still like to have some protective coating over my feet. This comes from wearing nothing but boots for the previous 20 years (except when exercising, always wore sport shoes for that). When I started my current strength routine last year I was taking off my shoes and lifting in my socks. I really prefer wearing the KSOs over lifting in socks. I haven't done a lot of running in them, but I do wear them whenever I leave the house for almost everything other than work (I work in a shop so heavy closed shoes are a must). I played indoor soccer in them once and split one of the seams on the outside of the big toe. It's a small split, ~ 1cm, but hasn't increased in size in the 4 months since it happened. I keep meaning to repair it, but never think about it when I'm home and have the time.

Oh, and +1 for crazy beards! I grew a pretty gnarly full beard over the course of a year, but my wife hated it so I chopped it off last May. Now I'm just sporting some full-cheek chops that I keep trimmed.

My strength log

My huaraches have been causing issues with my feet. I've developed a sore spot. So I have just been wearing my old Vibrams.

Could it just be you need a break-in period to get your feet used to them, similar to switching to Vibrams from standard shoes?

My strength log

4.6 mile run in 45 minutes, a 6.13mph pace. Added a half mile. Once I get to 5 miles I am going to stop adding distance and start pushing speed. For some reason I just have a really quick pace, and I'm really good at running, but it's something I enjoy, so I do it for fun.

I went to Chipotle for some chips, guac and salsa. They always treat me right at 'my' Chipotle and give me extra guac and salsa, plus free iced tea.

While I was eating I decided I was going to drive for around a 5 minute mile in the next few months. What I need to do is run 2x a week for 5mi and get my pace up from 6.13mph to 8mph or so. In my head, logically, sprinting for 1mi at 12mph is done by only increasing speed by a factor of .25 and reducing distance by a factor of .75. Maybe I am just nutty, but it seems legit.

My goal now first and foremost is to get to 5 mi runs, and then start wittling down my time from 50min or so to 35 or 40 min.

I can use the track at SDSU, I think, to start testing my speed. I will start in a week or two, once I get the aforementioned done.

Dessert to finish my day. A cup of strong cowboy coffee and stevia sprinkled strawberries.

looking for a career job is work..so hunkering down more. thanks for asking. I will be headed to wfm or peoples next week- and checking out expo west.com all next weekend. Natural Foods biggest show- fun for vegan foodies like so many here.

sprint work and interval training is the key. I 'm a slow poky 9 minute mile mom (or I was)...but, its strength and velocity- and genetics. doing it on a 1/4 mile track is good- you can run intervals on the clock and do the inside corners. some good running sites- check out SD track clubs page- they have a bunch of formulas on it for all kinds of runs, etc. and good links on lowering times, increasing max vow, etc.

i saw a guy yesterday wearing his vibrams (its such an under 30 thing, really), and so I asked him if he ran i themn--he trained for a marathon in. I need my Nikes, w/ my air cushion!
