Only did about 1/2 the full course due to some time constants. I was riding with somebody from my office who is on-call and needed to get back to relieve the folks who volunteered to cover him for the evening. It was a lot of fun and I definitely want to do it again. Although next time I will do the entire ride and also try to get other folks to join me more than a day in advance ;-)
MapMyRide.com – General Road Cycling: SJ Bike Party on 06/18/2010
Vista point at Arastradero Regional Preserve
No gym today, instead I went to for a “beginner” mountain bike ride thru Arastradero Regional Preserve. And let me say… 5 miles of mountain biking is a WHOLE lot harder than 15 miles thru Shoreline/Baylands. It was a lot of work and a lot fun. The weather was great, but a tad on the warm side. I didn’t bite it this past weekend, but came pretty close a few times. And haven’t quite mastered the going up steep hills part. I definitely want to do more mountain biking, but really need to get a few pointers on stuff. Need to checkout when REI is doing their mountain biking class next.

Breakfast
I went shopping and finally got some almond meal to be able to make pancakes.. and of course I couldn’t wait until morning so I tried making some as a snack. They where ok, the batter was a bit thin so it made really thin pancakes which where hard to flip. Tried adding some blueberries to them, but didn’t work so well since the pancake was about 1/3 the height of the blueberries. Oh well.

So the sink in my apartment was having problems… it backed up and exploded, but that is another story. Needless to say, my tiny kitchen was full of dishes from cooking earlier in the week and I didn’t feel like adding more so I went out to eat. Ended up just going around the corner to a little Italian place and getting their low carb saute which was actually pretty good. Of course I had to turn down the bread basket and the free dessert.
Macadamia nut crusted talapia & roasted butternut squash
Breakfast
The macadamia nut crusted talapia was really good, although it kinda turned into more of a paste than a chopped nuts after a few whirls in the food processor. Added some thyme and ginger to it before coating the fish. And it actually filled me up, as I only hate have of the fish and squash.
I splurged this today… And bought a pair of Vibram Fivefinger KSO.
Being on-call I can’t wonder too far from home, so will probaly try
them out with a short walk or jog today. Breaking them in with
Crossfit will have to wait until next week once I finish my on-call.
So I’m trying to get my eating back under control. I’m reading up on the Paleo diet, but for now its the Zone Dinner tonight was zoned-chilli with leftovers for the week.
Zoned Chilli
I also wiped a Zone egg & spinach pie for breakfast.
