New Food from Facebook

I've noticed over the years that I feel best when I rotate the foods I eat every week or so. I, like most, tend to fall into a routine for snacks, breakfast, etc and stray away from trying new foods. If I'm eating the same thing for breakfast and snacks day in and day out, I'm not going to be able to operate at my optimum.

I started a contest on our Facebook page for our clients and friends to exchange healthy recipes. Kara and I are going to try a few recipes this week and I'm really excited because they all look really good. http://www.facebook.com/pages/BCS-Fitness/121349967880087?ref=ts

I ran Saturday morning for 8.5 miles at an average pace of 8:48...which is kinda slow. My favorite Nike running shoes are really starting to be uncomfortable to run in...so I ran in my other shoes that are about 3 oz heavier. It is amazing how big a difference 3 oz makes when you are tired.

I need to fit in two more runs (one short and one long) between now and Sunday as well as one swim. I'll lift Tuesday and Thursday as usual with John.

Music this week

I've been in a Deftones mood this past week, so here are two songs if you like drastic tempo changes and a decent amount of screaming...

Deftones-"Pink Maggot" from album White Pony

Deftones-"Pins and Needles" from album Deftones
