    Happy Humpday! Vacation mode has me sloppy about keeping up with my posts. Did an 8 mile run on Monday and got rained out yesterday.

    Cardio: Ride bike 50.59 miles at OBX (1916 calories).

    Strength: Not today.

    Assessment: Not logging my foods this week. Trying to get a cup of oatmeal and 16 oz of Greek yogurt for lunch each day along with whatever the gang is having. Ate out last night to celebrate the birthday of one our friends. Had seafood lasagna covered with much cheese. Will be interesting to see what the scale has to say when I get home.

    Happy Wednesday!!

    Adventures in running: Saw a car chased by police crash and nearly end up on the jogging trail I was on (a major city park thousands of people run at every day - crowded place). Happened about 40 yards in front of me. Thankful he hit those posts and a ditch and the car did not make it onto the trail. Police quickly arrested him. Thankful no one was hurt. Man, all us runners scattered like a spooked herd of deer.

    Cardio: 10k (6.2 mile) run. 72 minutes. Slow and easy pace (car crash notwithstanding).

    Food: on target

    Lots of half mast flags yesterday in my city. I still remember so much being in the the DC area at the time (my DW was less than half a mile working from the Pentagon when it was hit).

    Happy TGIF. Up early for my bike ride. It was too dark to read the display on my Garmin Forerunner when I started out.

    Cardio: Flat bike ride for 25.1 miles at the OBX (803 calories). Intended to go farther, but a sore butt made it not worth the suffering.

    Strength: Still on vacation.

    Assessment: Hot dogs for dinner last evening. Chased them down with oatmeal & Greek yogurt. Do good calories cancel bad ones?

    Happy Monday! Full weekend. Saturday we traveled home from the beach. Sunday I biked in a Century ride. It was 3318 calories according to my Garmin.

    Cardio: Walked laps around gym between sets.

    Strength: Bench Volume day (1049 calories). Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts, Weighted Dips, Pull-ups. All that cardio last week seems to have sapped some of my strength. Logged at: http://www.jefit.com/members/user-logs/log/?xid=1655018&dd=2014-09-15

    Assessment: Ate a big meal after yesterday's ride. I haven't counted the calories yet, but I suspect that yesterday was a deficit.

    Happy Tuesday! Slept in a little this morning. Was expecting a red light from my ithlete HRV sample this morning after yesterday's yellow light. Instead, it was green. So I could have done a cardio workout, but I needed to fix the flat tire on my bike. Turns out that my spare tube also leaked. Took the wheel to a bike shop today and had them put a new tube in and bought a couple of spares for a Century ride on Saturday.

    Cardio: Rest day

    Strength: Rest day

    Assessment: Yesterday's nutrition went according to plan. Today is planned and on track so far.

    TGIF!

    Busy yesterday so I didn't get around to posting. But I did do a 5 mile jog first thing in the morning before things got busy. Going to be busy today too.

    Cardio: Walked laps around gym between sets.

    Strength: Bench Intensity day. Squats, Bench Press, Hang Snatch, Weighted Dips, Weighted Hanging Knee Raise, Chin-ups. Couldn't even get one rep on my working set for the squats. That time off at the beach really set me back. Took a cue from that and dialed back on some of the other lifts. Logged at: http://www.jefit.com/members/user-logs/log/?xid=1655018&dd=2014-09-19

    Assessment: Nutrition is going according to plan. Scales are inching lower which might explain some of my loss of strength.
