Sunday's Run
Good weekend. Saturday run and swim with the kids at the Y. Then had the energy to go home and do some much needed yard work, lots of weed whacking. Sunday I got in a good run (see above link). Returned to an old route, which featured an initial climb, then some downhill, then the rest of the run is gradual uphill. So the majority of the run was uphill. While I didn't rush to the end, I still did well, and doing runs like that on Sundays help overall for when I get to run downhill or mostly level races (like my upcoming 10K and 10 mile races.)
Diet plan
I have been reading Tim Ferriss' book the 4 hour body
, and was intrigued enough to give his 4 Hour body diet a try.The 4 Hour Body Diet
With any diet my biggest concern is will I get enough fiber? Followed by how hard will it be to maintain? The fiber concern is taken care by the predominance/reliance on beans (legumes). Because those are very high in fiber, so while I won't be taking in my whole grain breads etc. I will still get my fiber. After 2 days at home trying to stick with the diet I think I can stick with it, at least for the recommended period of time. It is definitely not a long term diet, it is intended to drop weight, reduce body fat%.
The reason I am tinkering is that I have been in a good pace for a while now, since I got out of the hospital I have kept generally in the same 5 pound range. But I want to try and reduce my belly some, and get my body fat percentage lower. My plan is to follow this diet for 1 week at first, see how I handle it. Then if I can, stick with it for the recommended 6 weeks, and then assuming I have reached my goals modify it to fit closer to something I can do on a regular diet.
