The good news is that I didn't have any trouble sleeping last night. I woke up once and wondered for a minute where Jack was and then fell right back asleep. This morning when I checked the Royals score from last night and saw that the game against Seattle (in Seattle) went into extra innings, I realized why Jack wasn't yet in bed at midnight last night. The Royals Won! Again! In Extra Innings! Again! Go Royals!! They are statistically still in it, though they are 3 games out with only 6 games left to play. Chances are slim that we will make the playoffs, but it already feels like we're having a post season, just getting to truly enjoy September baseball.
All is well on the training front. Yesterday was my day off and today I did upper body strength training. We have really kicked the strength training up a notch since all of my traveling is over and I can feel it!! I appreciate how toned my arms are getting and I can see the impact of the strength training everywhere. It feels good to be making progress again.
I was told about a program called Enduracamp yesterday and I looked it up. It is run by a 20 time Ironman competitor who has set up training programs specifically geared to triathletes and other endurance sports. The gym is pretty close to home, closer than the gym I am going to now. It costs $110 a month to attend as many training sessions/classes/group runs & rides as you want. They emphasize strength training to improve speed, among other things. You can also pay by the class. I will be done with all of my prepaid personal training sessions at Aspen by the end of October. I am thinking about attending a few classes at Enduracamp between now and then. If I like it, and think it is a good fit for me, I may switch to that program. I feel like it will be good to train with people that are specifically geared to the sport I have chosen. It will also save me about $100/month, which is bonus!! I hope it works out. I haven't checked to see how early in the morning they hold classes, yet. That could be a deal killer.
Yesterday's calories were a little high, 2,018, and protein was 98 grams. I was not tracking my calories throughout the day and just entered everything into my phone this morning. I need to do a better job actually tracking the calories as I go. This morning I weighed 155.0 pounds. I think the little gain was because I ate a a fairly large snack pretty late yesterday evening. If I had done a better job tracking calories through the day, I would have eaten a lighter snack last night.
Today is a new day. I have to go to the dentist this afternoon. I really dislike this dentist, but the good news is I got a hearty recommendation for a new dentist. Today will be the last time I see my old dentist (Jack likes her - I think she is mean. She has no bedside manner at all!) and if I have follow up work that needs to be done, I plan on going to the new dentist. I am glad to have finally received a strong recommendation for a new dentist!!
I guess that's it for now. Have a great day!!
