Day 28 - Sunday

7:00 Breakfast - tilapia, eggwhite vegi scramble, kiwi

9:30 - run/row challenge - Partnered up with Dan Furnas for a heart pumping 2mile run and 5000m row. 33:05 I think. Dan did not slack off on the running at all and helped us get a good lead which we were able to maintain on the row even though Alex and Lynn were breathing down our necks! Great job to everyone - it was a close race for all 5 teams and a great workout.

10:30 - protein shake with banana, coconut, 1 tsp sunflower butter, flaxseed

12:30 - lunch - 2 kfc grilled chicken breasts, carrot sticks 2 clementine cuties

3:30pm - blueberries and walnuts

6:00pm - dinner - 3 guac hard boiled egg halves (no meat on top - didnt have any - recipe to the side), leftover paleo chili, leftover butternut squash. Leftover night! Ok, going to try not to eat after dinner this week - wish me luck!!!

Day 27- saturday
7:30- bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts - tasted like heaven. I have a 15ktrail race at 10 - hoping the extra carbs fill the tank.

10:00am - 15k trail race - Castlwood Cup at Castlewood. 1:26:11. Really good run. Felt great and had plenty of energy. My inexperience was what held me back, combined with the mud, the creek, and the bike ruts in the trail. Would definitely do this one again!

11:45 - banana and slice of turkey

1:15 - Lunch at Chevy's - chicken fajita salad no cheese - apple salsa vinaigrette

4:45 - apple and almond butter

6:30 - dinner - rotisserie chicken breast and butternut squash.

Blisters on my feet from new trail shoes hurt soooo bad! Went to Chevy's for post race lunch, NO chips or marguaritas, Martini party tonight - paleo sucks sometimes! Oh well, it will be worth it - right??

1 glass white wine - not a morsel of food. Exhausting day!
