Quick Entry

Bleh, just a quick post and then I'm off to bed.

I haven't had many opportunities to post lately (well, I have, but when the choice is to write here or to sleep...), but hopefully that'll get better in another month here. So close to the end of tax season! Of course that hasn't stopped me from logging some miles, as you can see below.

Point Defiance Run

In other news, I have been reading several new books lately (well, "new" being a relative term- one of them was written in the 70s), and I finally managed to pick up some new running shoes this weekend, a pair of New Balance 993s, and those Salomon XA shoe that I had been eyeing. Hopefully they'll prove to be worth the investment.

After taking a hydrostic measurement test the other day at the gym, I've come to the startling conclusion that I'm not getting enough protein in my diet given the number of miles I've been racking up. Hence our kitchen has been rapidly filling up with various sources of protein-goodness. I've actually been keeping track in a log to make sure I'm getting enough over the course of a given day. Also started taking a protein shake right after one of my workouts, something I used to do on a regular basis but then fell out of the habit. I can't remember the reason why. In any case, we'll see if it helps at all.

Alright, this post was quick and dirty, but I'll try to get some more up there soon. Just a little over two months now until Sun Mountain, still so much training left to do. Time to start hitting the trails!
