4 mile run last thursday night
\n2.5 mile swim practice on saturday morning
\n6 mile run sunday evening
\n4 mile run wed morning<\/p>\n
Bike as transportation probably covered 20 miles in the same time span. <\/p>\n
I am serious about the full length (not iron man) triathlon in SF in november. <\/p>\n
I am also serious about getting back to a more ideal weight for me and improving my general cardiovascular condition, though that will require some dietary changes as well. Most notably: less cheese. Just about all cheese is a heaping helping of saturated fat. Which is both a bunch of calories and a precursor for LDLs. I just got my blood work back. They want LDLs to be 160 or below. Mine were at 160. Das not good. I hear flax seed may help too. <\/p>\n
In addition they found a slight excess of liver enzymes, which he wants to test again after I haven’t been drinking for a few days (I don’t think I’d been drinking for a few days before he took it the first time. My appointment was on friday 6\/6, I don’t recall having a drink at all that week. Maybe _something_ on the tuesday night dinner 6\/3, but not after. I’ve really slowed down on my ethanol consumption with the teetotaler roommate, who nonetheless buys alcohol and keeps it in the fridge in case guests want it. Not that it was alot before, but still. Kind of surprising to hear that.<\/p>\n
My bike needs help. My chain is seriously messed up. Rusty and sticky in spots, causing the chain to jump every other rotation of the pedals or so. This seems to require more than the basic care, though it could likely have been forestalled or at the very least delayed by the basic care. Should I just take it into the mechanic or is there some clever thing I can do at home that wouldn’t be substantially more expensive and wouldn’t take up a bike mechanic’s precious time (wouldn’t force me to wait), on my own?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
