So far, 2013 ain't half bad. The Whole30 plan is going swimmingly. I have had no real, intended slip-ups, and I feel great...as long as I make sure to replenish carb stores after a workout (e.g., with sweet potatoes or squash). I like homemade almond milk better than store-bought. And homemade mayo is easy, as long as the blender does not get too hot and ruin it when it is almost finished. I have learned that I love spaghetti and butternut squashes, babaganoush, and mashed cauliflower. Coconut aminos are a nice substitute for soy. So that's all good, mostly. I do miss sweets occasionally, but nothing a Turkish fig doesn't cure.
EN's outseason plan is tough, but I am performing better than I hoped I would given the little training and difficulties running over the past 4 months. I have some shin/calf pain, but my ITB has not acted up. I did roll last night and will be more consistent about it, because I honestly felt better this morning.
We are thinking about doing the Leadman Olympic in April in Tempe, and I am hoping to be able to get my times down enough to do the Mountain Man Half in August. We'll see. There are a few halves after that if I just can't get fast enough, though.
We are doing the Color Run next weekend with the kids, which should be a hoot! Very excited!
Not much else for now. Feels nice not to struggle.
