Day 1 of indecent exposure

I must admit I'm a little shy about doing this.  But, I think it will be good for me to track certain things like recovery times/results and general good/bad/ugly things.


Just a bit of background, I will mainly focus on things directly effecting training.  I'll try to explain my rationale and that sort of thing but I only if it helps me understand it better.


My general diet will not be discussed in detail but it will has been influenced by the following:

• Documentaries:
• Food Inc.
• Vanishing of the Bees
• Forks Over Knives
• Books:
• Runner's World Performance Nutrition for Runners: How to Fuel Your Body for Stronger Workouts, Faster Recovery, and Your Best Race Times Ever (longest title ever
• Deep Nutrition (probably biggest influence)
• http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/living-with-phytic-acid

In general I try to follow natural, whole foods and things that taste naturally delicious with minimal processing and additives.  I will explain in advance that when dealing w/ breads, I'll be avoiding whole grain breads and go for sourdough, rye, or plain white because of my uncertainty of the whole anti-nutritient thing and Phytic acid.  Ultimately if I'm eating any type of grain or bread (except for sprouted stuff) it's just to get sugar (which I will call all carbs).

Well here it goes!

Workout: Mileage: 13.6 / Time: 1:43:49 / AVG pace: 7' 37"

Immediate post workout meal:

• 2 Bananas
• Why? Sugar.  Mostly glucose, fructose and some sucrose.  I need to read about the differences but I know fructose doesn't digest as quickly...I should reevaluate bananas.
• http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1846/2
• I'll be getting a lot of my raw data from this site.
• High glycemic.  Need the sugar fast!
• Half a brownie
• Why? Delicious, duh, sugar, fat and yummy.
• Whatever
• About 2.5 shots of Kefir from some local farm
• Why? Experimenting with different dairies.  I hear good things about this Kefir business.  It's supposed to help me digest and I hear we're supposed to give up on pasteurized milk because it's worthless/bad for you once it gets inside.
• Oh I'm avoiding things like..."pure proteins," lean meats, milk etc.  What's the point? And it tastes bad.  Yes I need protein but I need all the other goodies too.
• 3 Hawaiian Rolls topped w/ cream butter (real butter) and honey.
• Why? Sugar/delicious/sugar.  Real butter has goodies such as fat and whatever cream has.
• Again, avoiding whole grains, Hawaiian bread is like candy in fluffy shapes you can put butter and honey on.
• 2 raw medium eggs
• Why? Matt Fitzgerald says a little protein helps w/ the digestion and absorption of sugar, duh.
• Egg yolks have all sorts of goodies.
• Pint of water
• Why? Because I just ran...duh.
• Why? Because although everyone likes to talk about how salt "dehydrates you" (retains water) sugar does too!  Seriously, drinking water w/ your sugar.  That's why Clif always tells you to drink water w/ their gels.

That's it.
