Happy Friday Teammates !!!

I love Fridays, and look forward to the relaxation of the weekend.

It is Friday am.  I last left you at 9:30 Wednesday night, when I returned to my hotel room from the day’s meetings and a one on one evening discussion with a new teammate.  I wanted to know how he was doing and get his early impressions of DaVita, and any advice about what he thinks I should be doing differently.

My room service dinner arrived at 10 pm, so I stopped work then.  Therefore I was in bed by 10:45, read for 45 minutes (that is the way I like to end every day), and lights off at 11:30.  This means I got almost 7 hours of sleep before getting up for my Thursday workout, which felt great.  I don’t like it when I am in the 5.5 to 6 hour category for too many days on the road.

Thursday was another medium workout, 20 minutes on the bike, 32 push-ups, 75 crunches, and 6 minutes of stretching.  Total minutes of 30.  Only 1 diet coke!

I probably should disclose that my Wednesday dinner was a cheeseburger and french fries.  They were great!  But I felt them the next day.  This was a classic situation where I felt like I deserved the “reward” of bad food after a long workday.  Asi es la vida.

Today I look forward to an intense bike session instead of a medium one, it has been too many days since I have had one.

All the best!
