rest days

well the workouts that were scheduled for Friday didn't happen, but I'm really not too worried about it as I know that next week will be deadly intense and a couple days of rest after this last week arent going to kill me... and to be honest... I think I needed it.... badly.

I was so sore yesterday that it was hard to get comfortable enough to fall asleep last night, and while I am a HUGE advocate of using movement to help move the lactic acid out of the muscles... it just wasn't happening for me, so I didn't sweat it and just took the time to rest and recover.

Tomorrow I'll ride 7m and run 2m and get a jump start on my week.

I've decided to extend my clean eating challenge for another week (and probably for many weeks there after) with two slight modifications.

Denying myself all caffeine forever will not happen. I love coffee WAY too much for that to happen, so I'm going to allow myself up to 3 lattes per week (I know that may sound excessive to some, but for me... it's like desert!) And I am going to allow myself to drink alcohol one night per week... and no more than 3 drinks on that night (I usually only have 1, and 3 would have me trashed... but hey, I'm an adult!)

Otherwise, no white flour and no refined sugar all week long.

Ok, gotta get to the store to stock up on good foods!
