Day 5

Most interesting so far...

The Schedule

• 05:00 Wake up
• 06:30 - 07:30 Slim & Strong with Ariane
• 08:30 - 09:00 Work (more like the realization that I can only concentrate to check mail)
• 09:00 - 10:20 Nap - interesting isn't it?
  On the fifth day of sleeping 5h/day it hit me that I am not 19 anymore and this is unsustainable for long periods of time. So I sent a mail to my group that I am stepping out of the office, walked to battery park, set my iPhone's timer to 1:00 countdown and laid on the grass... One hour later I was a brand new person. My first offense of this type for my three years I have worked seriously.
• 10:20 - 18:30 Real work
• 18:30 - 21:00 Checked that drinks place in the middle of the Hudson close to Ellis Island
• 22:00 - 23:00 Run (details below)
  
• 00:00 Go to bed

The Diet

I was not very precise today...

• Breakfast
• Roasted Turkey
• Slice of Whole Grain Bread
• Organic Valley Cottage Cheese (low fat) 1 cup
• Snack - XL Latte after the nap
• Lunch - Large Zigolini's Salad
  
  • Romaine Lettuce, 2 x Turkey, 2 Eggs, Avocado, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Carrots, 2 x Roasted Peppers, Onions, Olives, Olive Oil, Vinegar
• Snack - Raw Cashew Nuts 1 oz
• Dinner - Veggies
  
  • Broccoli, Peppers, Carrots, Tomatoes, Celery - roughly 1lb sized plate...
  • Slice of Whole Grain Bread
  • Organic Valley Cottage Cheese (low fat) 1 cup
• Snack - 1lb Strawberries (before run)
• Snack - Yogurt (plain, low fat) 2 cups

No nutritional value computation today (lunch was eat-out so no clue what to enter for each ingredient). If something is wrong Ariane will complain when she reads it :)

The Run

The run fit's Ariane's Advanced Running Endurance Workout for Week 2 (5 miles @ 5-6 mph).

My actual values were 5 miles @ 5.2 mph for just under 1 hour and HR below 170. It really felt like walk in the park, and I am quite happy about it. Complete details are available on Garmin Connect.

Going Surfing Tomorrow for the first time in my life!
