After weeks of waiting for the epic Thanksgiving Dinner, it was over like a sprint tirathlon.  They say our stomach needs 20 minutes to decide if it's full...Seriously?  I mean come on stomach, get with the program! Besides the Cheesecake Factory, this signal delay is probably the biggest contributor to obesity.  Not only did my stomach hit the brakes at 20 minutes with an uncomfortable pot-belly, bloated feeling.  It twisted my arm and forced me into submission.  Despite my best efforts to stay awake (a mixture of coffee with Godiva Liquor and tons of pie) I passed out to a roaring fire and the applause of a football game.  Who wouldn't want multiple  servings (4 to be exact) of sweet potato casserole, butternut squash salad, wonderful beef stuffing, brussels salad and moist turkey?? Thanks a lot stomach!

Training really kicked my A** this week!  After being humbled on the UT track by some seriously fast locals, mile repeats at Crescent Lake Park took me deep into the pain cave. Consequently, I damaged my meniscus and am currently on the mend.  In order to make up for the lack of running, a few good friends and I did the annual Horrible Hundred in Clermont Fl.  Honestly, I got in with a great group and we kicked some tail.  I felt like I was killing it until the very uneventful end.  Basically the ending leads you back to the parking lot of origin....and you're done.  No glamour or timing, just a good old pat on the back (from yourself).

Last week, a total success!  Work has been totally flowing, hopefully all of the 12 hour shifts we all worked over the months paid off since our inspection is FINALLY OVER!! 

In the midst of completeing a 17 hour (off season) training week, I've made some really great meals absorbed some great cooking inspiration (thanks to Top Chef).  I created some delicious sautéed portobello's topped with cooked kale, red cabbage carrots and garlic.  Also, the Naan pizza finished with an egg was delicious!  Also, I'm super stoked about the Eipcurious app for my iPhone!

Although today is the day after veterans day.  I sort of had more reflection today though.  I felt a little more introspective and what not.  None the less it was a light training day.  Early pool workout, mid-day bike with a EZ run to follow. Tried some

This weekend will hopefully be my FIRST CENTURY ride! I'm pretty stoked at the moment.  That being said, work can quickly rain on that parade due to a very large inspection.  Oh well! 

Today I drank some more of the Drink Chia.  It's a quite fascinating drink, full of a natural fatty acids with zero CRAP! Check out the ingredients, they speak for themselves. 

So to tie this up...I'm selling some wheels and I made a sick dinner for recovery.
