From KT – August 8, 2014
Yo DaVitans !!
Well Village Vitality told me I am still in the top 10%. At the 6% mark. But what really matters is hitting your personal goals, not where you are relative to others.
Today was a powerful one. After an unhealthy breakfast of steak and eggs (more on that later) I had a lunch with 4, that’s right, count’em 4, servings of vegetables as I returned to the friendly confines of La Casa del Mundo. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, zucchini, wow. and a cup of strawberries as a chaser.
Dinner was not as good. The restaurant did not have side orders of veggies, so I should have made a special request. Instead I just had half a serving of veggies with my duck, in the form of lettuce and some other little bits of stuff. darn.
Back to the steak and eggs. We had left over steak from the night before. Didn’t want to let it go bad. And I got up early and started my day with 30 minutes of intense yardwork, wielding a shovel, I was sweating profusely even though it was only 7 am. That counts as 30 minutes of exercise. Then I went to the state park for my last run before we returned to Denver. 41:55, a new personal best on the Potawatomi East Classic run. After that my knees were shot, but 600 milligrams of ibuprofen took care of that. I also did about 12 minutes of stretching before and after, so Village Vitality and Marsha you can add those things up.
I got back to denver about 12:30 pm, and worked until 7:00 pm, a series of meetings and calls and 30 minutes for some email (fortunately I got 2 great hours of email in on the plane, I need those plane trips to play catch-up on emails, as my days are usually scheduled straight thru, 90% of time). Then I had a business dinner with Dennis Kogod, we got thru a pretty good list of stuff. We stopped at 9:30, I did voicemail on the 25 minute ride home, and now I am done.
All the best to my Partners in Health! Your mayor, KT
