Training Log Archive: Spike

Shuffled around on West Campus. Slow.

I got out of the door just before 8 a.m. It is supposed to get hot today and I figured I'd get going a bit early.

At the start the temp was 78F with a dew point of 74F. At the end, the temp was 83F with a dew point of 75F. It was slow and sweaty. The sun was hot. No wind.

Mary slept a bit later. I saw her when I was about 10 minutes from home. By the time she got home, the temp was up to 87F and the dew point was 79F.

Just for fun, I compared Lawrence with Houston and Dallas...Lawrence is worse (i.e. similar temp but higher dew point). Yuck.

C • Dewpoint 11

Mary made fried tofu for dinner. There's some controversy about whether you can consider the soybeans as beans. My rule of thumb...If you see a farmer standing next to a field, ask what's in that field, and the farmer says "beans," then you have beans.

I've been negligent in my bean-eating documentation. But, I've eaten beans the last few days and I am currently eating beans with my lunch.

MTB on the roads and bike path. Crappy hot and I took it extra slow because it was crappy hot.

Ugh. Hot. I shuffled slowly.

I was watching the weather all day and saw the CAPE (convective available potential energy) looked high enough that with luck we'd have some storms to cool things off for a little while. That didn't happen...or hasn't yet.

After running I did some yard work to fill the cart for tomorrow's pick up.

I'm making dinner tonight - orzo with broccoli and garbanzo beans with a white wine vinagrette (probably mix in some tuna and goat cheese...if we have any).

MTB on pavement. It was hot (88F).

Bad sleep last night...tired and no motivation to move.

My night to cook dinner, so we're having Italian sausage stew (with beans). Mary made a salad last night, also with beans.

Jogging to/from the course.

Mary set a course on West Campus with a bunch of controls and set it up in UsynligO. I shuffled through. Fun despite legs feeling worn.
