So far it's been a pretty good week of diet and training. I have found its been hard to get my entire swim work out complete in the time I have available. I currently do not have the speed to complete the work out in the hour that the program prescribes. It's not a big deal that I take longer than an hour, but I swim at lunch and sometimes I have meetings at 1pm that I can't miss. When I'm short on time, I've been dropping the second set of drills, which equates to about 400m out of 2500m missed. Unfortunately, the swim sessions only get longer.
This week began the first week of daylight savings, which means after work rides aren't going to be happen anymore. Rides will probably be in the morning before work; however, it was 47 degrees this morning and breezy. Now, that's not bad at all if you're running, but on a bicycle, traveling at 20+ mph... that's freaking chilly! I'm a self-admitted "fair weather" rider. I don't like to ride in the cold, rain, snow, dark, or any combination of those. I guess it's time to man up; it's going to be a long winter.
The diet has been pretty good so far. Fonda made a big batch of butternut squash soup that I've been destroying all week. It's pretty health stuff, besides a little bit of cream, which we substituted with whole milk. I am looking forward to a cheat meal this weekend. We're breaking out the pasta maker and making pumpkin ravioli, with cream sauce, and chicken. We'll see if Wolfgang Puck knows anything about pumpkins.
Off topic... if ya'll are ever in Dallas, TX, go to the Five Sixty Restaurant, located in Reunion Tower (the big tower, with the giant ball, downtown). It is a Wolfgang Puck sushi/Asian inspired restaurant. The bar/lounge is pretty cool.... and the restaurant rotates 360 degrees (awesome!). This place has great food and it's a cool place to hang out, even if you just want drinks. Check out the beautiful sunset and I'd recommend trying Pepino's Revenge: Patron Silver Tequila, lime juice, fresh basil, Japanese cucumber, and simple syrup. It is basically a twist on a margarita, good stuff!
